This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,006, July 1, 2025. Today's theme is, "The Enduring 20-Megapixel Sensor." I'm Derrick Story.

Opening Monologue

Olympus released their first 20MP sensor back in 2016. Since then, their Live MOS or the stacked BSI Live MOS sensors have been inside their Micro Four Thirds cameras. And even though Panasonic has a 25 MP version, OM System has stuck with theirs. Today, you'll discover why. All of this and more on this week's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

We'll start with an informative article by Hillary K. Grigonis on DigitalCameraWorld.com. She interviewed OM System executives at the B&H Bild Expo in New York City. Her discussion about the 20MP sensor in OM System cameras will be the starting point for this show.

I'll add my observations after that.
