Lightroom 6 on April 15?

By

Lightroom 6

We had a flurry of possible dates in March on which Lightroom 6 was supposed to be released. Now, it seems the same thing is happening again this month.

I received another tip today that pegged April 15 as the release date for Lightrooom 6 per a second-hand industry source. Just a couple days ago, the release was pegged for April 21 via another supposed “leak.”

Until Lightroom 6 is officially out, however, we will have to continue to take these rumored releases with a grain of salt.

Close-up Look at Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II 5-Axis Stabilization

What exactly is the image sensor doing when the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is shooting in less-than-stable situations?

That’s the question answered by YouTube user Fredrik Gløckner in the above video. He mounted a Panasonic GH4 right in front of the E-M5 Mark II’s lens mount and shook it around a bit. It was surprising to me just how much movement occurs as the E-M5 Mark II shifts its sensor in attempt to stabilize.
