Olympus has a knack for coming up with the worst naming conventions imaginable. In all other details (well, except the on/off button) this sound like a seriously important camera for speed freaks. I think the one legacy of this m12 might be in three years that it turned the tables on DSLR's. I wonder if in a few years the sports and action shooters will not be behind the times if they still shoot an old fashioned mirror-hampered bulky beast.
Conventional wisdom may soon be turned on its head. I really don't think that a DSLR can ever match focus and speed performance in the coming times.
It's not a camera that gets me excited in any way, but if I were still shooting motorcycle racing - I sure would be. 60fps? Thats called video, isn't it?
Nice fast camera. It will cause a lot of editing blues. I can see someone, trigger happy, using it to its potential and having to wade through 27,000 frames after a three day racing weekend....Show more →
Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. Shooting speed with focus tracking and auto exposure is apparently limited to 18fps (electronic shutter) and 10fps (mechanical). It is also further slowed to 8.5fps with "anti-shock" enabled (whatever that means--presumably IBIS).
And that assumes that focus tracking at these framerates is actually accurate.
We also do not know if the fixed focus 60fps mode includes RAW capture, but it seems likely to me that Olympus is still affected by the laws of physics, which govern memory and storage bandwidth.
The camera is impressive, but lets not bury the action SLRs just yet.
