    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    With the tremendous success of Sony on it's ZV series (now account for 48.4% of Sony Sales) targeted at vloggers, it is no surprise that Panasonic tries to follow Sony footsteps for its S-series users. With the advancement of Mobile phone the last 5 years, I am not sure whether there is still a...

    WHATS NEXT FOR M43, after Olympus, what future is left?

    This has nothing to do with whether M43 is going obsolete or not. Of course all manufacturers would choose to produce range finders using their own lenses. Revenue and Profit Margin for lenses are much higher than camera bodies, and there is no need to incur any R&D on existing lenses, unlike...

    My son just gotten the Sony ZV-E1 (Full frame) instead of the higher resolution ZV-E10. Main reason being better performance at ISO12800 AND can use 12-24 Ultrawide to get 12mm. Ultrawide is usually preferred for Vlogger as 24mm is too close if you are holding the camera in your hand to film...

    One more OM Systems Camera going to be released this year! Market sentiments seems to point towards the Pen-Fii Does not make senses for OM Systems to upgrade the OM-5 to OM-5ii or release a OM-10v since it is already quite clear that majority of the current OM Systems users are OM-1 or OM-1ii...

    Besides the sensor used by Sony A9iii, there has been quite a few Global Shutter Sensor that has been released over the last 3 years. It is likely that OM Systems will introduce a high end camera that is faster than the current fastest fps by OM-1 and A9iii...

    I have seen photos from a friend that captured an eagle swooping down with only a 70-200 lenses. Question is not the gear, but how often you get such opportunities to be near enough the target. I have not gone to extent to camouflage my lenses and attire yet, but I noticed that skittish birds or...

    Yep, the Lumix 20mm lenses is a 2009 lenses I think. Compatibility aside, technology would have progress a lot too. That is why manufacturers come out with Mk2 lenses to give their users a better experience. Having said that, it is also possible to shoot 20mm using manual mode in street...

    Maybe the AF Assist lamp on your EPL-9 is faulty. If the Lumix 20mm works on your OM-1, it should work on the EPL-9 too. I have not heard of any issues of Lumix prime lenses without IS having issues on Olympus Cameras so far.

    I did tried a few Lumix lenses on my EM5 mk3, OM-1 and OM-1ii. I have not tried the Lumix 20mm before but when I first got my OM-1, OM workspace offered to update the firmware on all my Olympus and Lumix lenses which I need. I am not sure if the updates are available on older Olympus Cameras...

    I am a strong believer of OM Systems and love my EM5 Mk3, upgrade to OM-1, then upgrade to OM-1 ii. BUT, I use my OM System for it's strength (it's high FPS, ProCapture and 2x Multiplier on Focal Length) for wildlife shots etc. I did tried using my OM System for portraits, it works but somehow...

    Huh? What has that got to do with Gen Z interest in smaller size MFT cameras? MFT Inferior? Inferior to what? Resolution? Why did the latest Sony A9iii choose 24mp when Sony has already introduced 61mp? Obviously there are applications where lower resolution like 20mp or 24mp is more ideal...

    There is a definite interest in smaller formats camera by Gen-Z and Sony and Fujifilm has already capitalized on it by adapting. Hopefully Panasonic and Olympus can update their models to appeal to Gen-Zs with more budget instead of getting older M43 models...

    @ricohflex it is funny all the things you said below and your conclusion is totally opposite of what the youtube video say. Matthew clearly said Panasonic is NOT going to stop M43 and will continue to invest in it. BTW, Ricoh, who has much much smaller market share than Panasonic or OM Systems...
