...Not only did chip manufacturers increased the pixel count, the pixel profile or shape, probably more significant were the other changes and improvements that were developed as the pixel count increased. 

...I think one should take care that the different camera manufacturers do use different sensors plus one of the key differences between manufacturers are the operating software used in the different cameras. 

...In comparison to the E-P2 the G3 feels like a lower quality product and the general handling and user experience of the G3 is not as good as that of the E-P2. ...  I personally would say no, especially if one look at the materials used to build the E-P2 camera plus things like the shutter mechanisms used in the two cameras. 

...For example the new OM-D from Olympus has weather sealing, nothing to do with the sensor but critically important for those who will use the camera in different weather conditions. ...  If Olympus used the older 12Mp sensor in this new OM-D camera then I would have said that is not good.   Not that the 12MP sensor is not capable, it is just not up there with the best&hellip;&hellip; Try not to compare JPEG files for detail and image quality. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Exciting new Camera from Olympus</title><dc:creator>siegfried.seierlein@ch.schneider-electric.com</dc:creator><category>Equipment</category><dc:date>2012-02-08T16:24:03+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.photographyisfun.ch/files/32d273d6e08c281558032f08538c155b-71.php#unique-entry-id-71</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.photographyisfun.ch/files/32d273d6e08c281558032f08538c155b-71.php#unique-entry-id-71</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Based on the micro four-thirds lens mount the new E-M5 looks like the E5 of the Olympus mirror-less camera offer.   From the pictures posted on the web it surely is a beautiful camera that were packaged by Olympus into the well known and respected OM series body format. ...  The PEN series has been a great success for Olympus and has set the stage for the new Pro like E-M5 or OM-D series. ...  I only recently bought the G3 from a 2nd hand dealer because I wanted to see for myself what the new sensor is capable off. 

...It is not only the new OM-D range that were launched, Olympus also announced a new 75mm, F1.8 Lens in its micro four-thirds line-up. 

...Olympus users only had the older 50mm, F2.0 macro lens to work with or especially m43 users had to look elsewhere for macro work. ...  I have a few of these Lumix lenses and although the build quality is top, not many of these lenses use ED glass elements like Olympus does. 

...Looking at the new EM-5 specification and the new lens and flash offer I cannot help to think that this is the future. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>To Name one Aspect, what will that be?</title><dc:creator>siegfried.seierlein@ch.schneider-electric.com</dc:creator><category>Images</category><dc:date>2012-01-28T13:59:02+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.photographyisfun.ch/files/8cfe9047994dbfdc76c6ebcca7385892-70.php#unique-entry-id-70</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.photographyisfun.ch/files/8cfe9047994dbfdc76c6ebcca7385892-70.php#unique-entry-id-70</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[If you feel strong about what you think feel free to go to the forum and to take part in the new discussion I opened on this question, I am really interested to hear what you think.


...How often do you see an image unfold in-front of your eyes, you grab for the camera and when home and seeing the image on your computer screen you think, no that is not what it looked like? 

...Photography has so many different aspects that it is nearly impossible to name the one aspect that will help you see the difference you are looking for. ...  These are all critical in our search for better pictures but will they make the difference to really help us get the best from the recorded data in an image. ...  In most cases the challenge is the "tiny" little processor that is build into the camera and which are tasked to develop all the image RAW data into a fantastic looking JPEG image.


...I tried to get use to Elements, I tried PaintShop Pro hoping that it would be easier to master, I then tried working with RAW images and the harder I tried the more difficult it appeared to be.    I think the only reason I managed to develop my editing skills were an intense interest into what are really available in the huge data files these digital cameras produce.


...It is true that the Pro version referred to as CS are the better one, but again if you ask me then I would say Photoshop Elements is more than enough to really help you start enjoying the unique power of photo editing software.

...We saw how difficult it was for the Four-Thirds sensor to establish itself in the market and how much more difficulty it was for the four-thirds sensor to be recognized as a full grown D-SLR sensor. 

...Personally I do not think that was what Canon intended, I think it is more a case of not using an existing format plus the "new" sensor was most probably already available from Canon's laboratories.


By using the existing APC sized sensor in something like a supercharged G12 could degrade the existing APC sized D-SLR market many believe and on the other hand using the four-thirds or Nikon CSC sensor  in the new G1X would add credibility to these sensors, a risk to high to take. ...  Think of small DR, noise and so many things that were always linked to the "small" four thirds sensor;-) Just think of it, who will be next to receive the new sensor, will it be the D SLR range&hellip;.no that is too much&hellip;..lets go take pictures...


...If Canon then later introduced a real new CSC solution, similar to what Samsung has, then they would have had a large sensor high end compact camera solution plus a new APC sized CSC solution.   Most interesting would be the fact that then they would have effectively continued to degrade both the four-thirds and the Nikon CSC sensor sizes plus they would have had a real chance at the CSC market.


...Would the image quality be that much worse using the CSC sensor from Nikon, would that enable a better lens technology and finally what about the horrible OVF we know from G7 days, did anything changed in later models? ]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
