.Sony Releases 0.5-type OLED Microdisplay with Top-of-Class UXGA Resolution, Featuring the World’s Smallest Pixel Pitch of 6.3µm
Tokyo, Japan—Sony Corporation today announced the upcoming release of the ECX339A OLED Microdisplay featuring UXGA (1600 x 1200 resolution), the highest in class for a 0.5-type. This product achieves the world’s smallest pixel pitch of 6.3μm by leveraging Sony’s OLED display technology and miniaturization technology, enabling a resolution 1.6x higher than the previous model*1. By employing a new drive circuit design that operates on half the voltage of the previous model*1, the new product achieves the same level of low-power operation as its predecessor but with much higher resolution. When paired with Sony’s original driving system*2, a frame rate up to 240 fps is supported—double that of previous product*1.

Enhancing the resolution on microdisplays has traditionally presented problems such as deteriorating image quality due to decreased pixel pitch and inferior viewing angle properties. The new product features optimized transistors layout and process to address uneven characteristics and loss of withstand voltage, the issues associated with transistor miniaturization. The Sony original variation compensation circuit also enhances picture quality. Additionally, the color filter is deposited directly on the silicon substrate, reducing its distance from the light emitting layer, and the filter’s color array has been modified. This helps to secure the viewing angle properties while achieving high resolution.
OLED Microdisplays are widely used in digital camera electronic viewfinders (EVF) for their superior high contrast, high color gamut, and high-speed responsiveness. Sony, having achieved this high resolution and high frame rate, now offers even more realistic image display and accurate capture of subjects for use in high-end cameras that demand extremely high image quality.
Going forward, Sony expects this high-definition OLED Microdisplay to be employed in a diverse range of fields and applications such as AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) head-mounted displays.

Main Features
High-resolution UXGA in a 0.5-type
The new product has achieved the world’s smallest pixel pitch of 6.3μm by leveraging Sony’s proprietary OLED display technology and miniaturization technology, and has superior resolution 1.6x higher than the previous model*1. Generally, transistor miniaturization results in characteristic variation and reduced withstand voltage. This product uses a Sony original compensation circuit and optimized layouts and process for each individual transistor to address these adverse effects. Furthermore, the color filter is deposited directly on the silicon substrate, reducing its distance from the light emitting layer, and the filter’s color array has been modified to secure the viewing angle properties while achieving high resolution.
High-speed frame rate
A new drive circuit design supports a high frame rate of up to 240 fps*2, nearly double that of its predecessor*1. This has made it possible to capture fast-moving subjects in the viewfinder with higher accuracy, so users will not miss a photo opportunity, delivering a more comfortable shooting experience. In head-mounted display devices, this will help to improve image delay issue for items superimposed on real-world vision of AR and to avoid motion sickness during usage of these kinds of devices.
Low power consumption
By employing newly-designed peripheral circuits that operate on half the voltage of previous model*1, the new product delivers the same low-power operation as its predecessor when operating at the same frame rate, despite the nearly 1.6x increase in the number of pixels.
Sigma special Bokeh master lens finally arrived [Available at B&H for Pre-order] and it cost less than Nikon 105mm F1.4 and have price almost equivalent to Canon 85mm F1.4. The Bokeh master lens will cost you $1,599. The lens will become available for Canon and Nikon Mount and later this year we will have it for Sony FE Mount.
The lens for sure will going to become a must have lens for wedding and portrait shooters.
Take a look what Sigma said about this lens ” This optical setup minimizes axial chromatic aberration to deliver ultra high resolution along with ample peripheral light volume, which minimizes vignetting. As a result, the area in focus is extremely sharp, while the out-of-focus area features a beautiful bokeh effect with highly natural colors, making this a desired lens for portrait ”
The lens also offers Canon built-in lens correction tool [for Canon Version]. A rugged design so you can use this lens in harsh weather condition.
Ok, we have the rumors that Nikon is working on a mirrorless camera that directly going to compete against the Sony A7 III mirrorless camera. We have already seen that Sony created or market sensation by announcing the Sony A7 III mirrorless camera, at the price of $2,000. We are getting a bunch of his specification that is better than today’s leading FF / APS-C DSLR available at same price range.
Latest Updates – Nikon Next Mirroless Camera
According to sources of veteran Rumor Mill, Nikon is working on affordable mirrorless camera that is priced somewhere around $2,000 and will going to compete against the existing Sony A7 III Ultra popular mirrorless Camera.
Sources also suggest that the upcoming camera will going to have features that never been seen before in any camera. Well that’s really interesting thing to look at because we have already seen and lots of patent that includes a curve sensor camera, camera with stacked CMOS sensor, fingerprint sensor and lenses that can detect your fingers moments [with bio-metric sensors] to do everything required [from Zoom-in to out also storing photographers ID while taking snap]. At the same time we have also seen Nikon is working on their own versions of DPAF sensors.
One retractable zoom lens is also coming along with Nikon fullframe mirrorless camera. More details we be reveled once the announcement date reaches closer to us.
When Nikon Mirrorless Camera is actually coming ?
Well Nikon says the Mirrorless camera from Nikon will arrive next year, but Rumor mills have a different story and according to them Nikon do have some hidden surprised for upcoming Photokina event.
As we have already published a while ago that, Nikon finally opens about their plan about the introduction of Mirrorless cameras. According to latest Nikon Manager interview Published at Japanese TV network NHK, Nikon will going to introduce New Mirrorless system cameras before Spring of next year.
At the same time recently we are also getting rumor that We may see some big surprises in the Month of Aug / Sep 2018.
We will update you soon as we get any new news information related to Nikon upcoming Mirrorless camera.
Specification comparison between the Fuji X-T100 and Canon EOS M50 camera. We have already done a video comparison review and you must see it at least one time to understand the actual difference between these two camera which are coming exactly at the same price range.
Buy Canon EOS M50 from Amazon | B&H || Buy Fuji X-100 Camera from Amazon | B&H
Before we begin let me tell you that this camera comes at same price range of $699. But you will surprise to know that Canon is able to beat Fuji in the mirror less section by offering more features compared to Fuji film.
In this comparison I am going to talk about the major differences between these two camera, I am not going to talk about the Mini and the Micro differences that will going to irritate you as well as myself too.
Let’s talk about the design part of both the camera both camera are beautifully designed however the Fuji looks a bit retro to me. And which is a positive thing. Because I do like retro style gadgets Fuji is missing the front grip, where is Canon do have a front clip. The front grip of camera is important to have more stability while shooting handheld.
Now let’s talk about the top control off the camera, Fuji XT 100 camera offers more customisation compared to Canon. Having manual controls over the camera to help you while you need to quick set your shot.
Front Screen – Both are perfect Vlogging Cameras
Well Fuji have 3 Way tilting touch screen whereas Canon offers you to have ultra popular Fully articulated display.
Let’s talk about the major differences between Fuji X-T100 vs Canon EOS M50
The auto focusing system of Canon EOS M50 camera is more better compared to the Fuji X-T100 camera, we have 143 contrast based auto focusing points as well as 99 Phase auto focusing points in the sensor. Fuji X-T100 camera remains Limited 91 auto focusing points only.
So it is very clear that Canon EOS m50 camera is giving you more screen coverage compared to the Fuji XT 100 camera. At the same time the dual pixel CMOS autofocusing system is considered to be better than the type of hybrid autofocusing system used inside the X-T100 camera.
Better Low-light sensitvity
As we can see the Fuji XT 100 Camera Expandable ISO range is same as we have seen in the Canon EOS M50 camera. But you can see there is a big difference present inside the standard ISO range of both the camera. The standard ISO range of Canon EOS M 50 camera starts from 100 and goes up to 25600. Where as the Fuji X-T100 camera is standard ISO range starts from ISO 200 and goes up to 12800 only. So it’s very clear that can do offer better Standard ISO Range compared to the Fuji XT100.
The Fastest one – XT100 vs EOS M50
Let’s talk about the continuous shooting speed aka burst mode of both the camera. The Canon EOS M50 camera continuous shooting speed goes up to 10 frames per second and you can save up to 33 JPG files in a single row. Fuji XT 100 camera maximum continuous shooting speed is 6 frames per second and you can save maximum 26 frames in a single row. So it’s very clear that Canon to offer better high speed shooting mode and a better image processor compared to the Fuji XT 100 camera.
Best Vlogging Camera ?
Best video camera or you can say best vlogging camera between the X T100 and Canon EOS M50. As you can see the Canon EOS M50 camera offers you to record 4K videos at 24 frames per second, which can be used without any difficulty. Where is the Fuji X-T100 camera video images limited to 15 frames in 4K Mode which make it completely unusable for any kind of professional or commercial use.
And problem is also associated with Canon EOS M50, while you are using the 4K video what the dual pixel CMOS auto focusing system gets deactivated and you have to use the contrast based auto focusing system which is slow and sluggish. However in spite of having slow autofocus in a speed in the 4K video mode, the Canon 4K video is highly usable and can be used for professional or commercial purposes.
Fuji XT100 camera also have a bit problem associated with it in the 4K video mode. Fuji X-T100 have 4 GB file limit, that means when your 4K video file reaches to 4GB limit it automatically will going to split up into a different file and when that particular file once reaches 4GB then once again it will going to split into two different files and so on. Later on you have to merge those files all together in a video editing software you have.
Price DIfference
Both camera comes at $699 with kit lens
