Olympus cameras offer Live Composite Mode. In this mode only new light is recorded. I have used this mode to capture firefly flashes over a 30 min period.
The link below shows what a real artist can do with live composite.

That is very cool. For other reasons, I will get an Olympus for my next camera. Now the company is called OM Systems, and I've read they are coming out with a new M 4/3 body.

Yes to the new body. The question is: A sensor of 25 to 50mp? Or maybe still a 20mp sensor but with a global shutter? Or maybe even both more pixels and global shutter?!?

I've never found another camera that has this and I don't know why. This guy is obviously an artist but I've used the Olympus TG-5 is composite mode a lot. I have it mounted atop my TV broadcast camera. It does great for lightning. Also at a crime scene where you have casing or other evidence scattered down a long street you can easily light paint. Punch the shutter and paint with a LED flashlight while watching the screen. I've thought about buying a used oly DSLR for better quality. The TG-5 does a fine job for social media post.

It may be the recently announced Sony dedicated M43 20MP, stacked, BSI sensor. Though recently announced, it has been suggested that it is already in production.

What is a global shutter?

Olympus has some great features. I love my OM-D EM5 Mii.

Thanks for posting this! I was not aware of the live composite feature. I will check it out .

All the pixels "shutter" at the exact same time. There is no "rolling" electronic shutter.

For night and astrophotography shots it is hard to beat. I think there are some newer non-Olympus cameras that have this but it is not very many. It can be very useful because one watches the image's development and can stop it when it is what the photographer wants. Almost like being in a darkroom again.

That is what most of the bets are. I am hoping for more. But even that is a step in the right direction. I would love it if it would be a 25mp, stacked, BSI sensor. I have always shot to best fill the frame. But many pros will "shoot to crop" to allow more distance to the subject or guarantee all the subject is caught in the frame. Then it becomes more critical to have 30mp to 50mp to help make sure they get their "paycheck". Most professional uses of images only require 20mp to 30mp to meet most standards. But the pro, to make sure they have 20mp or more, and to cover all unusual situations where they need all 50mp, the bigger sensors win out. One of the few subject areas that falls somewhat apart from that is architecture shooting. There is where the extra 4/3rds depth of field counters against the ISO increase required by larger formats. Gee, it is almost like there is no perfect format. One must pick the format that meets their best needs? Then hope and expect the technical advances?

Ahh ok that makes sense.
No mechanical shutter can accomplish that.

Most of us know about the mechanical rolling shutter from our film days. It always made for some very speedy looking bike shots with "oval" wheels. Now in the digital age there is still a mechanical shutter that still can do that along with a electronic shutter version of it too (looks different from the mechanical one too). A global shutter will keep the wheels round and the tennis rackets straight.
