Even if both companies had created terrific mirrorless cameras the vast majority of their customers wouldn't have suddenly switched.  In fact, the EOS-M is currently the best selling mirrorless...

The following is from Panasonic's annual report. Revenue for cameras as a whole decreased 30%. However, unit sales of their mirrorless cameras increased 70% and sales on a "value basis" also...

I think it is clear that 2012 was a very bad year for the camera industry.  Compacts had by far the largest drop in sales, but dSLRs and mirrorless also fell far short of expectations.   As far as...

The following is from an interview with President Hiroyuki Sasa in the annual report: Question: The competitive environment facing the Imaging Business and the profit structure seem more adverse...

Given that Olympus is, for all practical purposes, a medical equipment business, you comment is irrelevant as far as the issue of the health of mirrorless cameras is concerned.   The following is...

According to Sony's summary of their imaging division's performance:  Sales decreased 4.1% year-on-year (a 7% decrease on a constant currency basis) to 730.4 billion yen (7,770 million U.S....

Your comment speaks more about you and your biases than it does about Thom.

Why is it that difficult for you?  Thom has a huge Nikon following and has been a mFT user since the E-P1 was released.  He recently rated the E-M5 as his favorite mirrorless camera. He has also...

Olympus released their financial results for the 2012 fiscal year that ended March 31. Thom Hogan has a summary. The imaging division continues to lose money, primarily due to weak compact camera...

Why do you think they are so many fans? Perhaps it has something to do with what the OM-D has to offer. As far as representativeness goes, the closer views are to those of the total population of...

From looking at this thread, my impression is that is dominated by people who don't like the OM-D's ergonomics, along with some other gripes.  While I share some of those concerns, they are far...

The smaller sensor size of the V2 translates into about a one stop difference, so low light ability of f1.2 on V2 is similar to f1.8 on mFT.

Looks like you haven't looked at Panasonic's recent financial statements.   the Group's performance resulted in a sharp deterioration especially in unprofitable businesses such as TVs and...

GF1 was very successful in America and definitely outsold the G1. Your thoughts? I follow all of those sites and still maintain that your stereotype has little to substantiate it, especially...

I'm not sure which lens would be best in the delivery room. Things can be pretty cramped and it may be difficult to choose the optimal distance for each photo.  And, there is the problem of things...

While Sony may choose to keep their current sensors in production for a long as possible, I hope you don't seriously thing their R&D folks won't be working on a better sensor. The notion that Sony...

I also recommend the 25/1.4.  It has an excellent focal length for a delivery room and it is an exceptional lens. Like Ken, this is the default lens on my camera--I also put it back on after using...

Do you honestly think you can accurately stereotype demographic groups as large as Asians and women?  While mirrorless has been most successful in Japan, Canon and Nikon are still dominate there....

I thought we were assuming that the chips were not profitable or, alternatively,  that their lower quality versus Sony chips made it unprofitable for Pany to continue making rather than buying...

I think it is safe to assume that OLympus had made the change to Sony sensors before Sony became a minority "partner." Sony's investment in Olympus was driven by their desire to get a piece of...
