Actually it doesn't even say that. It says: "There is no plan yet to add phase autofocus on future low end MFT models" The yet means that such plans might be formulated and indeed, even carried out...

Boo! Hiss!Put your logic away!!!!This is the M43 forum. ;-)

I think you covered that they wouldn;t focus AF lenses, but not why, whch I thought might be useful to know - I'd want to know why if I didn't. You're right. My bad. J

And customisable AF adjustments in the lens and replacement mounts should you ever move to the dark side. I'm very excited by the new Sigma - I only wish they'd ship the 18-35 ƒ/1.8 in F mount. The...

The missing bit of info is why the D3x00 and D5x00 won't autofocus with AF lenses. (Film) SLRs that used autofocus (AF) lenses had a motor built into the camera body. In these bodies  a small...

If the shots were shot manual focus, then it's pretty hard to blame out of focus shots on anything but the operator - after all with manual focus, the operator chooses what is an is not in...

I've paid for one at a local store and religiously ring each Friday to be told that the distributors has no ETA so the shop has no ETA. I'm in Australia. In the state of impatience. It's been about...

Actually I was pretty sure when it came out the EM 5 was said to be all metal. I was surprised recently to find out it's not - not that I have really inspected mine. Still, not sure that more metal...

Not suggesting it is an indication I just find it interesting. If Olympus is gonna follow industry and their own DSLR convention then the two OMD models we have are really confusingly named. I...

There are actually 11 kinds of people. 1) those who don't understand binary2) those who read binary little endian3) those who read binary big endian. :-)

Is the EM5 built to a lower spec or an earlier one? Most of the EM1 spec is pretty similar to the EP1 spec.I haven't seen anything that indicates the weather proofing on the EM1 is better than the...

Environmental portraits, yeah prolly OK. Close in concentrate on the head and shoulders, maybe not.

He states whats in the kits well enough for people who are likely to be making that kind of purchasing decision to know what he is talking about. The top of the line zooms that cover the 14-200mm...

One way I find useful to answer questions about yet to ship products is the manuals. Oly US site has the manual, sales brochures etc up now. So if you want to find out the estorica...

So sensor size can't be medium format. It can only be APS-C?
If size is an issue how can APS-C be acceptable given that 35mm exists.
And how can 35mm e OK, given that MF exists?
And can;t be...

You forgot merge 4/3 with M43! ;-) It's a windup!!!

That's "a clunky DSLR and an em5 had an UGLY baby" In retrospect I wonder if it is trying to psychologically soften the blow for the Oly DSLR faithful  that an Oly  DSLR is not very likely now.

Me too. Do it all the time.

Often a good idea anyway. Let some other sucker find the bugs.I'm in the same position as you. I'd like to but I need to save a little first.

Ming Thein, who has aparently had his hands on one for testing is saying "the buffer is now 40 RAW frames at 10fps, or 51 at 6.5fps" http://blog.mingthein.com/2013/09/10/olympus-om-d-e-m1-review-1/
