The Russian site Kroupski (google translation here) interviewed Mr. Michael
Guthmann from Olympus. And these are some of the key info:
1) It’s not possible to add the 40MP High resolution feature on current
cameras via simple firmware upgrade. It”s not just algorithms that is
needed. ON the E-M5II Olympus improved the positioning accuracy of the
stabilization system. Mechanical components were changed and optimized.
2) Olympus is not sure if they will add the 40MP feature on future low-end
cameras too.
3) Olympus recognizes there is a request for 4K on Olympus cameras. But they
cannot guarantee the E-M1 successor will have 4K. Olympus does not see
great potential for 4K at the moment. Once the market is ready for it, they
will make 4K. Panasonic, Sony, Samsung are “forced” to add 4K on cameras
to create content for their 4K TV’s.
4) Olympus is not worried about the fact that Full Frame cameras are
becoming cheaper. Because they think what matters is the camera+lens
performance and size.
