Micro Four Thirds

Back in September 2020, we featured a London startup's interchangeable lens Micro Four Thirds camera prototype that used a smartphone as a controller and live viewfinder. Now the Alice Camera is making a production bid over on Indiegogo.

Photogram – the startup behind the Alice Camera, a MFT sensor/lens module controlled by a smartphone app – has launched a limited beta program ahead of a crowdfunding campaign next year, to get early adopters involved in the development process.

Panasonic has announced a new MFT mirrorless camera designed for live event streaming, vlogging, mounting to drones and more. Sporting a box shape, the Lumix DC-BGH1 boasts Cinema 4K and 10-bit video recording capabilities.

A London startup is developing an interchangeable lens camera unit called Alice that features a Micro Four Thirds sensor and has a smartphone mounted to the back which is used as a live viewfinder and for settings control.

Olympus has announced the fourth generation of its entry-level OM-D E-M10 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, which will come supplied with a camera bag, extra battery and SD card for a limited time.

Hot on the heels of Sony's ZV-1, Panasonic is shouting out to content creators with an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera called the Lumix G100 that's designed to make video blogging easier, but without skimping on photo capabilities.

Olympus has launched the latest version of its pro-focused mirrorless DSLR-killer, the OM-D E-M1 Mark III. Updates include better image stabilization and a Live ND filter.

When the OM-D E-M1 launched in 2013, we pondered whether it was a true DSLR killer. Olympus continued its assault in 2016 with the second generation E-M1. Now the company has loaded a cheaper, smaller camera with much of what made the E-M1 shine.

​Back in 2016, Olympus launched a formidable mirrorless assault on DSLR cameras when it revealed the OM-D EM1 MkII Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens camera. Now the company has announced a new flavor aimed at professional photographers – the OM-D E-M1X – that's all about speed.​

​Why carry a dedicated camera around these days when your phone can take care of most moment capture needs? Chinese photographic equipment maker Yongnuo has revealed the YN450, a smartphone-like mirrorless camera that runs Android and is compatible with Canon camera lenses.​

​Panasonic has done an admirable job packing high-end marquee features into the tiny compact GX9 street shooter - in particular, a sensor, wireless comms and dual image stabilization to equal the flagship G9. But what has been sacrificed in the name of portability?

Panasonic's enthusiast-grade compact Micro 4/3rds street and travel shooter gets a solid upgrade with a 20-megapixel, low-pass filter-free sensor, dual in-lens/in-body stabilization, tilting EVF and screen, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and creative shooting modes - in a smaller and nicer-looking body than ever.
