  • Heliskiing in British Columbia: Scott Rinckenberger uses the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II

    Scott Rinckenberger is a professional adventure and outdoor sports photographer. We lent him the new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II for a few days, to shoot a wintry commission for outdoor clothing brand Eddie Bauer.

    The OM-D E-M1 Mark II is Olympus’s flagship mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, and should be ideally suited to use in tough, wet (and cold) conditions. Watch our video to find out how it performed.

  • Heliskiing the British Columbia wilderness with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 II

    We took the Olympus OM-D E-M1 II up to Revelstoke, British Columbia and caught the season’s first helicopter out into the wilderness alongside some of the World’s top pro skiers. It was cold and terrifying, but we did it all in the name of putting this new flagship camera to the test. Part of a forthcoming feature video with Scott Rinckenberger, we wanted to share some of the images with you as soon as we got back. We also used the camera to shoot opening day at Revelstoke resort, which is famous for having one of the longest (and most fun) lift lines of any mountain in North America. 

    The gallery contains a mix of Raw conversions and out of camera JPEGs, including some shot using the Grainy Film II profile (a staff favorite), as well as a High-res mode sample. Many of the images shot in back country were done so under extreme conditions: sub-freezing temperatures, blizzard-like snowfall, avalanche warnings and the like. This in particular should demonstrate just how tough this this camera is, even if the photographer who shot the images was less so.

  • Columbia University researchers create self-powered video camera

    Columbia University researchers have created a self-powered video camera featuring a sensor that both captures images and powers the device. Although it can only record low-resolution 30×40 pixel images at 1fps, the photodiodes on the camera’s sensor can switch between being photoconductive, and photovoltaic. In the latter mode – given enough light – the photodiodes supply enough power to a built-in supercapacitor to keep the camera operating indefinitely. Click through for more information
