Does anyone have experience shooting both Sony full-frame and Olympus OM1 II Micro-Four-Third images?
Two of the things that I have wished for Sony to do is to make a stacked sensor camera that is no larger than the original A9 and to develop some computational photography functions for its cameras.
I recently came across specs for the newish Olympus OM1 II, and it really caught my attention.
It has a stacked sensor. It is about the same size as the original A9, with lenses that are much smaller than full-frame. It has 8.5 stops of IBIS. It has an array of computational photography features that seem very powerful and useful. For example, it has built-in regular and graduated neutral density filters. The latter let you position the line where the graduation begins and also let you set the angle of the graduation filter line and whether it is a hard or soft line. Users report that its focus-stacking can be used hand-held because of the excellent IBIS. There are lots of jpg filters and the camera lets you save any shot in multiple filter versions rather than only one. There is a lot more, but I won't go into it here.
The concern is that the 20mpix filter is MFT with a 2X crop factor. So, one wonders about details and high ISO performance.
I'd love to hear some reports from Sony users on the Olympus OM1 II's image quality, especially at high ISO, and their experiences in general with the OM1 II camera.
