Компания Olympus уже выпускала зеркальные фотоаппараты, but something went wrong and the management decided fixated on mirrorless cameras. Судя по всему это решение приносит свои плоды так как на рынке должен появится первый беззеркальный фотоаппарат с разрешением 8K.
Company Olympus is exhibiting SLR cameras and even sold, but the situation seems to have changed. The company has long specialized in mirrorless cameras, and it is worth noting that not only rejected the idea of mirror production models, she began to ignore the compact segment.
End of the Four Thirds System
Four Thirds System, the name of which means the ratio of the sensor side, Olympus has been developed almost 20 years ago. This system from the very beginning was designed for digital cameras, and the size of the sensor used therein was considered sufficient to create high quality images.
Today this statement cast doubt even ardent supporters of this system, которые пользовались чуть дольше, than usual, cameras endowed with large matrices. This does not change the fact, that the Four Thirds System, It has been optimized in terms of matrices, in which the pixels work best with light, falling directly. Также это объясняет, почему объективы этой системы имеют телецентрическую конструкцию – обеспечивающую падение света прямо, instead of different angles to the pixels of the matrix.
Now Olympus announced, что закрывает проект Четыре Третьих – спустя шесть лет после выхода своей последней зеркальной фотокамеры Olympus E-620, which means, that we will not see lens Olympus ZUIKO for this system. May be, someone thought of the competitors will begin to produce such lenses, but that's a topic for another article.
Olympus остается с системой Микро Четыре Третьих и… вводит 8K
In bezzerkalkah Olympusa from the beginning using the Micro Four Thirds system. That is, a system with the same sensor, as in the Four Thirds, but without mirrors. Конструкция объектива хотя и получила телецентрическую форму, due to reduced requirements turned smaller.
As said leading journalists Micro Four Thirds system, the company uses many lenses (Olympus has a range of M. ZUIKO) and other accessories,, but somehow it does not pay enough attention. In response to such claims the project manager in the department of planning Olympusa, Mr Akira Watanabe, He said that to date there is no obstacle, It appeared to bezzerkalki with Micro Four Thirds system future, and the ability to record video with a resolution of 8K.
M Lenses. ZUIKO Micro Four Thirds system
Videos such authorization requires a sensor with a resolution of not less than 33 megapixel, which today is not a problem at this size, in Micro Four Thirds. On the need to practice will provide a stock of several Megapixels, as the Micro Four Thirds, in fact it has a slightly different aspect ratio than in the case of 4K resolution.
For which the company has made this announcement? Скорее всего она решила заявить о себе на фоне успехов компании Panasonic, which is moving toward the same goal. Стоит упомянуть что в этом году обновленный Panasonic GH5 по-прежнему предлагает запись видео в 4K, As for the shooting in the 6K because it applies to photos. As you can see from the last statement Olympus, it is likely to be the first who will release a mirrorless camera with video shooting in the 8K.
