Likely never since it's a micro 4/3 system

Shhh. Whatever you do, don't mention the new Ricoh Digital GR to Oliver. 16MP, new GR ENGINE V Image Processor, no optical low-pass filter, 4fps burst shooting ... don't mention any of that!

The Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM is sharper than the Samsung 30mm f/2.

It hasn't worked yet.

If they are so quaint then why does a Canon 1D or Nikon D4 still count as a professional camera?

The idea that a touchscreen interface would work better than an OVF plus dials only tells me that people don't know how to use an OVF and dials on a professional level DSLR. I can't even get past...

I'm sorry but no matter how many times you repeat it, Samsung lenses do not compare with any of the other brands you mentioned. Just mentioning them in the same group is itself misleading. ...

Would be like replacing the prism on the cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album with ... just a picture of a rainbow ... on an LCD. No, thanks.

In any case, they could have offered clean ISO 25600, not in poor boost mode. I would much rather have higher ISO performance + OVF than dual pixel CMOS AF. Otherwise, T4i already does 25600 in...

Absolutely, that seems like a more professional way to capture audio if you need it.

get both.

APS-C OVFs (and DX or other crop sensor OVFs) are like looking through teeny tiny windows! ;-)

yes, I would much rather see cleaner ISO 25600 than Dual Pixel CMOS AF on this type of camera body. Technically, there is no reason why this Canon sensor can't do ISO 51200, the 5D Mark III is...

yes, if you really want the best video+audio, you are not going to find that in any DSLR anyway.

You are basically saying that someday, watching some ultra high definition screen will be sharper than looking through a window. (a perfectly clean window). is that even possible?

A real viewfinder is still better than the best EVFs currently available. When taking portraits, an OVF allows you to quickly see a person's eye expressions and other subtle features that just...
