DC.watch interviewed the Olympus managers Masamichi and Suzuki. And those are some of the key info they shared:
– We are not focused on classic Mirrorless cameras only. We also work on completely new kind of cameras (like the Open Platform Lens Camera prototype).
– Olympus says MFT has the best size-quality balance. And Olympus main priority is to strengthen the line.
– Olympus acknowledges the trend now goes toward more high Megapixel cameras
– On the tech front Olympus wants to make cameras that are faster, consume less, better High ISO and with increased Dynamic Range.
– There is a possibility to also use different kind on non-Bayer sensor.
– electronic shutter is also likely to be introduced in future
– we are “investigating” the possibility to make a Four Thirds sensor and fixed lens compact camera
– we have no specific plan yet to use larger sensors (like Full Frame).
– we plan to improve video quality on future cameras (60p and 4K for example).

It’s almost the same things we heard again & again .
Nothing really innovate
Since the advent of digital, Olympus has been the biggest innovator by far! I don’t even think that that’s up for debate, even now.
Regards the interview, you don’t expect design reveals do you?
Yeah, but they aren’t Panasonic so you are supposed to ignore all the innovations.
Change that to “one of the biggest innovators” and you can go way back, before the advent of digital.
Olympus, Sony, Panasonic have all been major innovators, each with significant and important contributions. Canon, Nikon, Fuji? Not so much. At least not in the past 15 years.
This joke is not even funny… Olympus is the biggest con in the camera world, innovating by words and lagging in tech and quality… I am just saying this for the other readers who might like a more balanced opinion.
In mirrorlessrumors.com you can read that organic sensor is not ready.
This is not good .
Development slow down means it might take more R&D to solve out that overheat / crazy power consumed problems .
Ultra higher processor need to address as well .
Or maybe they just dump the project if they find out not worth of doing it .
Damn , how m4/3 going to compete in 2015 ?
Let’s wait & see from Pana side .
Panasonic, are you reading this, make Yun happy please.
I would like to see at least around 1 stop improvement in GX7 successor regardless what techs Pana going to introduce otherwise I don’t see the point of GX7 successor .
1 stop would make you that happy. its just a small thing, you are not that greedy then as i thought 🙂
Can’t expect too much since the 88dB sensor may not possible to make it’s appearance in 2015 .
My 1 stop improvement in GX7 sensor means clear & clean imaging at ISO 6400 F2.0 .
That would be a 2 stop improvement…
There’s no real need to “compete”. Actually is a matter of surviving, but as long as Olympus has its medical division (and some help from Sony) R&D of at least lenses and EVF will go on.
Those looking for different results will look at different systems: you should not ask for a full frame or medium quality image output in m43 system.
In few words: different systems will always be and look different 😉
If you like to remain where you like to be without considering the pace of a game , you will face the consequences being overtake like what happened to 4/3 .
4/3 had a bigger lack of IQ compared to FF alternatives. Today most people are asking for 40 mp cameras, paired with Otus lenses and then watch at those results on a smartphone screen,
. Useless.
4/3 is beaten by APSC & not FF . If you look at that era’s gadgets , even though 4/3 optics prove too superior for Canon&Nikon to challenge but too expensive & it’s sensors are too poor , can’t make significant impact to those Canon & Nikon delivered that resulted to it’s downfall .
And some help from Mitsubishi (Nikon). Sony own 12% of Olympus and Mitsubishi own 5%. Olly’s tobashi scandal problems have lost them hundreds of billions, bad investments and fraud, not their camera products.
Sony and Olympus are developing a 4K endoscope.Something for retentive types then 😉
Their camera products too.
Maybe they should get off their 65nm/45nm processors they have been using in their cameras and at least step up to a cheap, lowly 28nm Snapdragon 400.
Qcom licensing issues.
Especially with their thoughts on video. Again and again we hear the same spiel about a renewed focus toward video, yet nothing ever changes. Not even the ability to shoot at 24 fps! This is clearly not a hardware issue. Rather, a minor software tweak is all that is needed… and this is what they call dedication?
I agree that Olymous should please the video community a bit more.
Relying Oly on video performance is even harder than Still imaging .
Believe me , they just don’t want to do it .
I think you cant be innovative every few years
But .. .. .
Then why Sony can come out curve & APCS sensors ?
Canon & Nikon with 40++ MP cameras .
Take it easy Yun. If you are in that rush for image quality improvement, maybe you should look somewhere else. We all are tired of this mememe…
It’s just you not everybody .
M4/3 need to keep on the pace otherwise same thing will happen again like what happened to 4/3 .
Really? We are lucky we have you here, so the companies can check your insights…
But don’t worry dude, this is market law, only the leaders can stagnate.
This is true, but that ship has sailed. The answer is easy: buy a larger format to get better quality. You may also get better autofocus, better usability, better manual focus, better battery life, cheaper lenses with better quality… And you won’t require those absurd 0.95 lenses anymore, which are loaded with aberrations.
I mean when you look over a longe time span. Hey Yun, you are starting to sound more and more like a hardware geek, a person who needs a shot of new tech every year, even when its not really innovating. Stuff like this is important for a manufacturer, but not top priority for a serious user. You can always buy a Sony, Canon or Nikon as additional camera if you want the things you mentioned, and stop dreaming organics, just wait when its there.
Slight translation error?
Canikon got it wrong with 40MP, too many photosites for low noise floor and top quality.
The Sony A7 sensor is APS-C but, and only due to its increased size, is only marginally better than the Panasonic sensors in the GH4 and E-M1. Not enough of a reason to redesign an established mirrorless camera system and lose the FoV (field of view) and size/weight advantage.
Plus not enough range of Sony lenses and those have poor system performance as yet (notably hit or miss AF)
Sony hasn’t come out with curved sensors yet, nor Canikon with 40+ MP sensors.
Definitely in 2015 .
But what m4/3 got in 2015 ?
That stupid multi capture tech resulting in 40 false MP ? Let’s forget about it .
Because Sony is a massive company that actually makes the sensors, Oly doesn’t make sensors. That’s like asking for LG to innovate in the mobile CPU performance race instead of looking to those that actually manufacture them (ie: Qualcomm, Samsung, etc.).
You means Oly is same as LG ? If yes , no way I’m going to buy in any of LG products .
One can innovate all the time. Much of it is waiting for technology hardware capability to catch up with the ideas.
i dont thinks so, the word is used alot. If something is really innovative depends on its practical use and value.
Actually, Olympus has proven that they can, however I’d agree that people are expecting way too much, especially that many here aren’t interested in buying, but in lusting.
I’m getting that they wan’t to diversify—open platform. Maybe we’ll see an Olympus brand drone that marries their 5-axis stabilization to a copter! 🙂
Simples, stick any OIS lens on it.
They’re 5-axis and handle being bounced about better than IBIS.
Do try it before anyone drones on about body stabilisation.
Go on Flickr and see the vast number of Ollie M43 using Panny lenses.
OIS ain’t more than 2-axis. It can’t correct roll, it can’t correct tilt or skew but only a one plane vertical/horizontal movement.
And IBIS on Olympus gives much better results than Any OIS.
Could somebody ask about 2K RAW video when doing these interviews please. I think the BMPCC footage looks nicer than all this 4K stuff and I don’t understand why no company seems interested in it.
Because 2K RAW video represents a very small user population when compared to the general consumer population. The average consumer does not want the hassle of dealing with RAW video.
Yeah, but why can’t it be an option? The average consumer probably uses their phone anyway.
Even for pros, 4K raw contains too much information and takes too long to process/edit and downsize. It has to be downsized or transcoded for use anywhere which is going to lose data during compression. So 4k 4.2.2.
is more than good enough. HD is good enough. 2K is a bit like a lost sock.
You have no clue what you are talking about.
Those “pros” you refer to are not pros but bloody amateurs. Ever downsampled 4k to 2k and compared it to something shot natively in 2k? It blows it away.
Not to mention that you still can do panning and zooming in pp and still retain decent resolution.
And HD might be enough for clips of your vacation or family that nobody but you wants to see anyway, but a real pro needs to get any advantage they can and the clarity, detail and crispness of 4k downsampled to 2k and the manyfold pp-opportunities are huge andvantages indeed!
Yes 4k downsampled to 2k is better than straight 2k all else being equal but 2k RAW seems to look better when graded by someone who knows what they are doing and no doubt 4k RAW would be (will be?) even better but I am not Hollywood. It may be there are only a few people who want to deal with 2k RAW but I do notice whenever I have a little moan about this a few people agree with me, so I was wondering if there is a technical reason why 2k RAW is possible on the Blackmagic Pocket Camera but not on a hybrid camera.
2k raw does not sound as sexy as 4k because the number 2 is smaller than 4 and the target market (a mass of noobs) does not know what raw is. Keep off this flawed system, it won’t last long anyway, that’s good advice.
Will new E-M5 have electronic shutter?
The Panasonic electronic shutter is not some panacea, it has its uses but the mechanical shutter produces best results. The E-shutter can produce some interesting movement jelly-wobble effects 😉
The last Ollie M43 to hit the high street, the E-PL7, does not have an e-shutter. They tried much of the new stuff out on that, so I cannot see the E-M5.ii getting one.
“On the tech front Olympus wants to make cameras that are faster, consume less, better High ISO and with increased Dynamic Range.”
Yeah. Let’s just do it in a big way. Allow this little system to have more punch!
“– we are “investigating” the possibility to make a Four Thirds sensor and fixed lens compact camera”
So, digital Trip-35 will not come this year ???
maybe, we still have 5 days left in 2014, stay optimistic bro.
LX100 ? 😉
They should redesign the user interface. It should be touch screen optimised with a simpler button lay out. Camera gui designs are still stuck in the Symbian era of smartphones and the bodies are more cluttered than a 80’s stereo tower.
the E-m5’s touch screen is a real cool thing imo. I remember when i showed it to my friend how to quickly aquire af by touching several targets on the screen with a finger, his mouth fell open , almost like his tongue to roll out like a carpet. quite funny. And some models wanted to try it out too; its a great opener in a way 🙂
Ditto I showed my x2 1 touting buddy this and his jaw dropped, he then did a point to pint focus comparison and the em5 shot faster…. He cried!
One of the first things I do with my cameras with touch screen is I disable it. I heard from a few guys that they like the focussing for video, macro and fooling around but for serious stills shooting its nowhere as good as a bunch of dedicated buttons.
The user interface should never be touch screen optimised as its just gimmicky and many people just don’t like it.
It’s just not good, I mean, just look at your mobile apps. Lots of screen not many buttons or text fields because people have to use it with their big chubby fingers. I’d rather have a compact display with lots of info and options and use it with buttons than have a display I can touch with barely anything on it and where I have to swipe and pinch and whatnot all the time. It would just be too annoying. Especially when you consider that a phone has a way larger screen.
Disagree entirely. Being able to focus and fire with one press of the screen is much more efficient than spamming the arrow keys to get to the focus point you want. Also, being able to use articulated screens to get more interesting perspectives without having to be a yoga master is also a welcome addition.
Agreed. I don’t want to use a “serious stills camera” that doesn’t have a touchscreen anymore. The idea of focussing with arrow keys or a tiny joystick, or worse focus-recomposing and shifting the focal plane, feels laughably slow and antiquated in this day and age.
And that’s my opinion even with manual focus lenses, since touch-magnify with focus-peaking is the only way to really get fast, accurate MF.
You are right that a beginner like you shouldn’t buy a “serious still camera”. After all, you say you cannot even handle the buttons of a camera and have to rely on gimmicks with MF to get accurate focus. /facepalm
Man the air up on that high horse must be pretty damn thin. Sounds like you need to take a step back from the keyboard and go pick up a Leica film cam, a few rolls of Velvia and a lens. The rest of us here like m43’s not just for its size, but for the increased capabilities with new features added that increase the toolset for the photographer.
There are no increased capabilities, only crippled tech and inflated prices. M43 is famously very bad for beginners and advanced shooters alike.
Some people use a viewfinder you know.
But I guess amateurs like don’t know about that. I do like an articulated screen but use that about 1% of the time. The other times I am looking in the viewfinder and concentrating on my composition and not waste time to fiddle with some screen.
I guess you prefer it the other way around, but then why don’t you just take photos with your phone?
Wow, that’s an oddly aggressive response! You don’t need to resort to insults just because this person disagrees with you.
(For the record I probably use the viewfinder more than the screen on mine but I do use both)
Because my phone can’t shoot great portraits with their fixed 28mm lens. It also can’t shoot anything well without completely ideal light. It also doesn’t allow the use of any useful zoom or telephoto, nor is it particularly very fast to focus and shoot. It also lacks any decent mechanical controls which, when combined with touchscreen, create a very fast and versatile user experience. If all I did was look through the viewfinder, I’d probably still be using the D7000 that’s gathering dust on my shelf.
People said similar about the first iPhone, but that was they only knew touchscreens from Symbian and Windows Mobile devices. Yes, the current touchscreen implementation in camera’s sucks. It’s not optimised at all and since you have to find space for both the buttons and screen, the screen has to be tiny.
On many current cameras the screen is quite large compared the camera size itself, but my 6″ phone dwarfs them still. The only wat to make the screen larger is often only to remove the buttons for screen size. Do you really want that?
Yes, I want to remove buttons. Do we really need an info button or a delete button? Look at the Leica T. It has on/off switch, 2 buttons and 2 dials. Maybe you would like an extra button or two. But do we really need more than 10? I counted 12 on my e-pm2.
If Apple and Google can make smartwatches that are already more complex than camera’s, then I don’t see why camera screens are such a big problem.
Have you enabled the superuser interface. Pretty much everything can be adjusted by pressing 1 button. I find this to be the most intuitive on cameras from all manufacturers.
And I have used nikon, sony, and Panasonic
Yes, it’s the first thing I did on my e-pm2, although setting it up wasn’t intuitive at all. I think they should center the gui around it and cut down the amount of menus. The Leica T has something really similar and it looks really nice and simple.
Super control panel.
Yes it should be front and centre.
Make it the default olympus!
“we plan to improve video quality on future cameras (60p and 4K for example)”
I really thought it was already coming. Not 4K specifically, but an overall improvement in video. Seems they are still planning…. zzzzz
Right, and it seems they’re still completely oblivious to the general need for 24p and the strong European need for 25/50p.
Shoot cine 24p at 4K on the GH4 and it has to be downsized to make it usable and then I’m at the whim of the transcoder which turns it all pear shaped on purpose. If intended use is only TV or YouTube then 4K is overkill.
Yes they do understand mains frequency hence euro 24/50 and left pond 30/60. Just as well because that 60Hz supply is the minority market.
Tbh I don’t care about anything below 50/60 fps (especially not 24 fps) and would welcome 4k/60, 2k/120, 720p/240. I do action vids from time to time and then I need high fps and not that stuttering “cine” nonsense that I hope in the long run Peter Jackson is killing with 48 fps.
Over 70% of world countries use 50Hz electricity network, the 25p is only thing required to addition for 30p. 24p isn’t needed to anything by technical or quality wise, it is just a gimmick.
24 fps give the right balance in looks and smoothness in motion, any faster would make the playback different; not necessarily better but just different. IMO that is ofcpurse
The cameras coming next year are future cameras.
If my phone has 4k and 20 meg (tiny little noisey) pix, then I think oly really need to at least put 4k in. I know it’s not the same apples and apples comparisons, but a camera should have the same or better features than your average smartphone in my opinion.
My em5 is a wonderful picture taking machine, it love it. My phone cannot match the pictures but it does a lot more in terms of usability and features in camera or video mode, including 4k (on smaller sensor granted).
All the usual negative white trash. Did they ever own a m4/3 camera in the hospital for the depressed?
It’ funny to see Full Frame Santas on troll rampage below. What’t worries you Canon boys, this thread has nothing to do with Nikon either.
YES-> Olympus says MFT has the best size-quality balance. And Olympus main priority is to strengthen the line.
+100
It’s already good now…it can only get better…I guess the question is…”How fast will it get better?” at this point.
The Nikon D600 has, to quote one review, an “insane dynamic range” of 14EV !!!
Gosh, both the GH4 and the E-M1 both have dynamic ranges of 13EV
Go figure?
According to DXO, 12.8 vs 14.4. What differences are you expecting anyway?
If Olympus says that, it must be true.
The pictures available online say otherwise, the real life tests too, but who am I to judge a couple of glorified conmen?
W. Eugene Smith was fired from Newsweek for refusing to use medium format cameras, and joined Life Magazine in 1939 using a 35mm camera. –Wikipedia.
Olympus made the first step to achieve the best size-quality balance decades ago with the PEN half-frame viewfinder cameras and the remarkable, wonderful PEN F half-frame SLR series. Till today, we have been benefiting from the M4/3 system for about 6 years. Keep up the good work Olympus.
Kind of an odd reason to get yourself fired!
Dear Mr. Smith,
We’ve noticed your last assignment was completed by using a puny-sensored camera. You are fired.
Splendid!
You call that benefitting? Have you looked it up? Only the top management at these companies are benefitting, until they get caught.
How about a state-of-the-art, intuitive user interface.
I never understood the problems some people have with the Olympus user interface. I find it quite intuitive and easy to use. Especially on the current cameras that have plenty of buttons/function keys/etc.
Yep… I find my EM-10 much easier to use than my brother’s G6. Heck, he has resigned himself to not even dig into that camera that much and just keep it on S-mode or A-mode because he can’t figure it out either.
I have an E-M10 as well. It’s pretty awesome how Olympus squeezed so much top notch technology into such a small camera and still made it very enjoyable to use. 🙂
Richard Butler of DPR (it doesn’t matter if you don’t know him) in his preview of PEN EPL7 complained about pressing 20+ buttons to active the super control panel. He didn’t know (seriously?) that you can simply press INFO in live guide mode to active/toggle on SCP. Just enjoy your/our OLY cameras and ignore the “some people”, you really can’t help them do better.
Here, here!
User configurable interface – and the configuration doesn’t need to happen on camera. What is really positive to me – if you read the interview, that’s precisely one of the things they hope to show with the Open Platform Camera.
Yeah, but I am totally familiar with that mess of a menu system, after a lot of pain and suffering. please don’t take it away from me. 🙂
Yeah, I know all about that from AutoCAD users… if it isn’t hard to do, it isn’t real work, therefore, invalid. Engineers vs. actual users.
Olympus interface “designers” suffer from a similar malady.
Say buh-bye to usability.
Olympus acknowledges higher pixel count – but this is a numpty trend – the 16Mp M43 density is the just right Goldilocks zone to maximise data and quality. Indeed some makes are cramming in far too many pixels for no logical good reason, to the detriment of picture quality.
Video – without cooling the vibrating sensor, there is no real way to improve video quality further (it’s pretty good for HD already) so either concentrate on stills or devise a means to keep it cool such as use its motors to clamp it against a heat sink or use a Peltier pump (as used for other such detectors).
Strengthening the line – they are increasing and improving the lenses but we are desperately in need of extra-long “wildlife” lenses and these do so require optical stabilisation (the longer the lens, the less cabaple body stabilisation becomes e.g. Bigma-OS on Pentax). They do support OIS lenses (which are 5-axis btw) but they need to consider making some.
You are wrong! There is no “too many pixels” as you can never have enough. When the lighting is good more pixels means more detail (and you can crop/magnify better) and when the lighting is bad you still can downsample for better iso (maybe even on the sensor level). There is absolutely no drawback to more pixels except maybe storage space but that is entirely negligible.
And the idea that the overheating is due to the a sensor is completely off too. There are hotpixels but the sensor does not overheat when you shoot a 20min bulb shot unless you shoot directly into the sun on a summer day wide open, so why should that change on video? It’s not the sensor but primarily the processors that process the data that overheat which could easily be solved by better processors (pricier) and better cooling on them (heavier/larger body). And no, Olmypus video is not good! It is abysmal and really the last place in the video race so improvements in that department are absolutely necessary. My next camera *will* have 4k and if Olympus doesn’t deliver then I am sure Panasonic will. They actually already do, but my next camera is still a year off so Oly better get their act together or I’ll switch or maybe jump ship completely as Samsung currently has the very interesting NX-1. And I am sure I am not the only one.
Olympus will most likely never make OIS lenses. They have a pro 300mm f4 in their roadmap and if that is not good enough for you, I suggest you look to Panasonic or some other camera system. Btw. I know quite a few guys that take amazing photos of wildlife with IBIS so if you need OIS to get the shot I suggest you improve your skills…
🙂
More pixels offers more data to CPU and complex mathematical algorithms to do very fancy stuff like completely override the circle of confusion problem!
Like with E-M1 there isn’t reason to stick f/10-11 for quality purposes as software can correlate the softness and makes f/22 possible to be used anytime. More pixels and its even more effective as there is more data to use for math.
I don’t buy the goldilocks argument in regards to pixel density. Why would there be such a thing when it all depends on personal preference and needs of the user? Maybe you don’t need/want more resolution (I’m perfectly fine with 16 mpx myself, so I can relate). Doesn’t mean everyone else shares your sentiment.
And equating pixel density with image quality just doesn’t work in real world. Just compare the performance of current 16 mpx sensors with the older 12 mpx.
Technology improves. I’d bet the same 16mp sensor Oly uses would deliver better high iso at 20mpix if it was redesigned to a BIS.
In short, its never good enough and every improvement is welcome. I remember before the D800 people said nobody needs more that 30 Mpix in a FF and now they are all over it.
20mpix in m43? sure! 24? bring it! 28? Yes, please! Etc…
Oly should give us one back illuminated low res high ISO sensor and a high res solution for those who want an expert camera. A 16MP BIS camera as the main stream version would be good for most users (but maybe not good for marketing. Maybe thats the reason why Sony made a third expert line with the 12MPs). If Oly made a 12MP BIS camera I’d take this one.
I think this megapixel charge comes from lack of innovation on the part of Canon and Nikon—the rest of the clan is just following along. Yes, there is a need for high megapixel cameras, but that should be a niche and not the mainstream.
It’s just another way to differentiate your product, so that marketing guys can boast about something. Sure. But I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. At least at the moment, we have a full range of cameras on the market, from 12mpx high iso monsters, to 36 mpx pixel peeper extravaganza. And let’s not forget 51 mpx from Pentax and Sigma’s Foveon that can actually beat even the highest megapixel FF sensors.
It’s not a bad moment to be buying a camera. Plenty of nice options. I would not mind at all to have similar options in m4/3 world. But that will probably not happen.
I agree that it’s not a bad thing. It becomes bad when a smaller-sensor-based camera attempts to play in the land of the full-frame.
If Olympus has a solid implementation of the sensor-shift technique, this would allow them to “cheat” their way into the game.
Yep, if implemented well, the sensor-shift trick might provide a good compromise for some shooters. You get high-res ability for static shots, without sacrificing high fps burst mode useful for dynamic shoots.
And it at least shows that Olympus acknowledges the trend, which is always good. Ignoring trends is not healthy (and Olympus clearly has ignored the “dslr video” trend, and that kinda earned them a bad rep)
Good point: If there would be two lines of m43 cameras I would go with the low resolution higher ISO line and leave the higher MPix cams to the landscape experts. One high MPix cam line only would be a deal breaker for me if the high ISO would not become better than today.
Please, stop talking bullshit about IBIS and heat problem! There are videos shot with Olympus in 80°C temperature for a hour without ANY quality loss. A normal room temperature is 21-22°C and water freeze at 0°C and water boils at 100°C and normal summer is between 24-35°C. And E-M1 can record perfect video in 45-55°C hotter environment than You will EVER live….
IBIS doesn’t require cooling as only battery and CPU generates heat and can be separated to own compartments that gets cooled by body itself.
Oh. And you didn’t even know that GoPro 4K recording is possible in much smaller airtight plastic casing for much longer times (hours) in normal conditions and only battery and CPU generates heat in those too that is visible with a thermal cameras as well with SLR cameras.
It’s very difficult to read your “English”, all I see is some deep anger. Relax and enjoy, there are also nice things in life. For example, you could learn photography.
No FF is good. That niche is overly occupied, so they can concentrate more on M43. 4K and video improvements are good for sure. Electronic shutter in the future? What future are talking about? Next century? It’s already past for Panasonic, gimme a break!
Wow, full frame is a niche ?! You’re joking, right?
FF is a niche? Now promise you will learn basic photography before buying any more gadgets. Say you promise. Got it?
– we plan to improve video quality on future cameras (60p and 4K for example)
This interview acknowledges that Olympus is losing market share and they still are stuck in their stubborn ways. They think their cameras are like iPhones and we will drop 1k+ per year for incremental upgrades??? They always PLAN and no action and live off their next marketing trick. They don’t lead the market and had a chance to by just releasing 4k on the E-M1 and outclass the competition by perfecting. Instead we get more gimmicks and promises.
relax and stay calm
unfortunately he’s right ulli… they’re planning to improve video again and again…
just wait which video improvements are done in this e-m5II, after that we can care about product strategy like we are working at Olympus.
You are right Uli, lets wait until E-M5II, E-M2, EM5III, E-M3, etc. I like Oly but don’t like to leapfrog to incremental to be leapfrogged by competition.
Wow, Marketing minions at work my comments ‘deleted’. So much for open discussion.. If you were the deleter, then you should take your own advice. I offered opinion on Oly product cycle as an owner of four Olympus cameras.
i dont remember your comment exactly anymore, but its weird it got deleted. While lots of comments which poke the others hoping those come up with the kind of comments they want get never deleted.
16 megapixel is good enough for full frame cameras its good enough for micro 43s. I want better quality pixels not more!!
well said
Sounds like the D4s is the perfect camera for you then 😉
Or a Df
3 of the points basically are – we would like to cach Panasonic 🙂
Repeating the same errors over and over, but consumers are not stupid and the red numbers show this. The outcome is obvious.
Buck up, anonymous little buddy. Everyone knows Canon uses the same tired sensors over and over, but I wouldn’t call their demise obvious.
it’s pretty obvious to me …
Everyone who? Everyone in your lan party circles?
