It is not uncommon to see the Micro Four Thirds mount being used by smaller companies to create digital imaging products. The latest to adopt the system is YI (Young Innovators), a Chinese company that released their first entry-level mirrorless camera, the YI M1, just in time for Photokina 2016.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II: questions answered, clarifications and extra information

22/09/2016 By Mathieu 59 Comments

One of the most difficult tasks when a new product is announced is to gather precise and correct information about the various specifications and minute details in a very short period of time. In fact, even some of the things written in the press releases and specification sheets can lack some precision. This can result in some confusion (and we are not immune to it!).

And there was only one camera we could start with: the Olympus OM-D E-M1 II!

Sony RX1r II Review – The best IQ in the smallest package: what’s not to like?

The first RX1 was unprecedented because it housed a 35mm full-frame sensor inside an extremely compact body. This is also why it retained the label ‘Cyber-Shot’, the name of Sony’s compact camera series.
