If they can get the time between shots down low enough, it could work. Right now, it currently takes about 1s for the current Olympus cameras to take the 8 shots needed. They have been talking about trying to get that down to 1/60th of a second:

Now, that was in Feb 2015, over 18 months ago. They are working on it, but I wouldn't predict it would be out soon.

 

Speculating randomly, I would think the problem is getting a good enough true global (non-rolling) electronic shutter. Assuming that it roughly would take the same time to read and clear the pixels as taking the actual picture, this would taking the 8 pictures at about 1/900s. If the read and clear was instant, it would be taking 8 pictures with 1/480s. As an aside, this could also potentially increase the flash sync speed up to those speeds. Some progress has been made on this, such as the Sony RX100 IV with on-chip DRAM and 1/32000s shutter. However, I don't think Sony has managed a true global shutter on the RX100 IV and that is only a 1" sensor, so it is probably still a ways off for M43, let alone APS-C or FF.

The elusive global shutter. I thing of myth and legend. Maybe one day. Probably be in a Sony computer-lens device first and then available in an actual camera sometime after that.

I took the day off from this exhausting river rebuild project (where I sit by the river all day watching two excavators and one dumper doing as little as possible) to attend the Great Dorset Steam Fair, a venue I shall return to this bank holiday Monday for a proper days shoot. Now if and when pixel shift can be used for this . . .

Thanks gobs. I love shooting Muay Thai but always a battle shooting around or through the ropes. These are the first I've converted to B&W and think it works quite well

It doesn't work quite well old boy. It works phenomenally well.

Good job!

Yes I knew that...   I saw it on the telly from the same place....  BBC I think. 

We'll let it go it was not taken in Thaialnd.... 

Honestly, that Eden Project is a load of . . . .

Nice Mike, ^ That's from Indonesia (originally)  I believe.... we have it's cousin which is not so large that grows wild on Samui and Koh Phangan....perhaps other areas of Thailand too,  very rare to actually see it blooming, but I have posted it once or twice over the years. 

I cheated here. This one's in Cornwall.

The upcoming E-M1 2 is meant to offer the same feature handheld; although I'll believe it when I see it.

I can't see it's possible. Pentax has an algorithm which replaces moving subjects in the pixel shift with an unshifted overlay, like water or gently blowing leaves, but it's limited in application.

Why do I need to make a point? Someone stated there are 300k units being sold and I just gave an example. 

 

But if you really need a point, then I would say that 300k grossly overpriced in a city that is dirty and has a 3rd world infrastructure.

 

Also, it is irrelevant if you don't want to live in Toronto. Neither do I, however, many third and first world citizens do. I could also make a point  that in Toronto there are real market forces at work unlike in Bangkok where prices are inflated by developers and other mysterious entities.  Point. My wife is looking to upgrade her house. There is a really cheap one in her soi (in Bangkok) going for a mere 3.5 million baht. Probably under-priced by at least a million due to the size of the house and land. House on the market for 6 months because even if there is a little bit of interest people are unable to get a loan.

 

Prices in Bangkok all over the place and that is the scary part.

Not too bad an image MJP , I would have thought that there be a few less artefacts considering the 36mp sensor , does the pixel shift incur this issue , and did you edit/process this image ?

It's not a pixel shift image. That image was hacked together between LR and PS and back again (basically for dust removal) and there's been a strange degradation in the process, I did notice the files' size dropped off a cliff. The other spots are likely residual dust/paint flaws and artefacts where I've pulled the colour channels about.

This is a crop from the unedited RAW file direct from PS.

Am I imagining things but does the  signage saying it is running on a 1.9 litre motor ?

 

 

Yup, those are 1900cc TDi's. I have a VW 1900cc TDi that kicks out 200bhp.

Will it work handheld, or is a tripod required?

Tripod definitely required. Also, you need to post-process in Pentax Silypix to sort out false colour/other problems such as running water.

Don't bother, MJP.

Your pic is great as is in color!

I'm gutted actually, I lost all the RAW's. I'm forever doing this!

Invite Somalis into your town, and you can turn it into Mogadishu in no time at all.

Reality.

The Pentax K-1 is smokin' hot for everything apart from continuous autofocus (which truly sucks). One of the best functions of this camera is pixel shift resolution, which works like this (more information available through Googling) . . . 

The results . . .

Lloyd Chamber's reckons it's comparable or even superior to a lot of medium format. Caveat: It really is only good for static subjects.

The Eden Project, Cornwall. A pretentious load of overpriced [multiple expletives removed] . . .

Yeah, that's great!

Action and nice grays rendition are here!

 

But I was more refering to the pic above as a whole. The little girl in the left corner, though OOF, shows a great attitude that complements the whole feeling of your pic, for me.

 

I like your color editing: it gives a "special" look at it. A bit like a old "forgoten" Kodachrome slide.

Nice and well balanced IMHO...

 

 

I can't find the RAW file.
