Re: Wish list for 2018?

My 20mm F1.7 was lost on a business trip. I actually haven't missed it that much due to using other fast primes on each end of the focal length. I just enjoyed the compactness but every time I go to buy a replacement, that slow AF gives pause. If they could make an update with zippy AF I would be happy...until I see the price.

Olympus crack at the 1" sensor compact game. I've had a go at it through the Canon G7x mki and G5x. A couple of years ago I found them to be too soft but now lugging a kid around, this tech punches well enough. From a fine tuning standpoint, I like the Olympus exposure system indicating orange highlight blowout or blue shadow loss. Much more informative to what I want to preserve in the photo vs Canon's histogram system. Also, I'm finding the colour rendering of the Olympus cameras more favourable.

A mid market CAF competent m43. E-M1 mark ii is way too expensive, even on refurb and quite over capacity. My E-M1 mki does my travel and event photos. It does some of my sports and my  Canon 7D1 the rest. Perhaps the E-M5 mkiii akin to the 80D and D7500.

Small body like the GM5 but with sensor updates and IBIS.
