In cameras, an E-PL9 with more features and less size. An E-M5 III that is the same size as the II, with 20MP BSI, 4k, and external mic jack. And NOTHING else the size of the G9.

Sadly, the rise in smartphone technology is pushing the likes of Oly and Panasonic to focus their efforts on the more pro kit which always seems to get bigger.

I think the epl range may be a casualty of that. Perhaps, it already is with the lack of innovation from e-pl7 to 8.

I wonder if their omissions in the new e-m10iii may be well considered. This camera becomes entry level MFT but, Oly know that most users will, more than likely, seek to upgrade, inevitably forcing us towards the more enthusiast and pro level bodies.

I wouldn’t rule out a high quality GM replacement though just yet. If Panasonic, or even Oly (that would be interesting) think the niche is a big enough one then who knows!
