FINALLY!! OLYMPUS GETS SERIOUS WITH VIDEO!!!

[Bamboopictures]

Olympus breaks mould with their OMD-Em5 MarkII offering variable framerate
(24, 25, 30,50 and 60 fps), headphone socket ( with HLD-8 power battery holder) mic port,
and focus-peaking.
This officially heralds Olympus' entrance into viable filmmaking territory.
5 axis stabilisation and full-rotating flip LCD makes EM5 MkII a GH4 contender.
Body size fills the void left by discontinued GH2.

Something wrong w Camera Store TV audio? It's so muffled that i can barely hear him.

 

[Bamboopictures]

5DSR took one step back and removed the headphone jack. WTF?

 

[JacePhoto]

Nikon and Canon are seriously playing a silly game

There is a market segment that will take the 5 axis stabilisation over 4K. hehe.

exactly. me lo... I love freedom of motion when shooting. gimbals are fun to play with but after a long day of shooting it starts to wear you down...

More test samples using EM5 MkII's IBIS 5 Axis. Effect is on par with monopod and some sleds.
Nice colors too.

Yeah, if I'm not looking at 4K (clients don't seem interested in paying for the additional costs involved yet...), this looks like a decent alternative to the GH4 as a replacement when my GH3 conks out. Glad Oly is upping its game on the video front. More choices for shooters :thumbsup:

Effect looks similar enough to Panny's OIS, but of course the magic with IBIS is that ANY lens will benefit, not limited to lenses with built in IS.

Gahahaha.. clients aren't dumb... most of them don't even have 4K TVs or monitors...
