Lenses:

The PRO primes are very nice, but not for me. I love, and have all of, the 'premium primes.' I'd like to see a few 'premium' zooms that focus on high quality at a small(ish) size. For example, I'd love to have something like the new Panasonic 8-18 made by Olympus.

Yes, I'd also like to see some "above kit level" zooms, i.e. something in the 10-25 range that is not "pro" weight and price. Something like the 14-150 in quality.

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.

M4/3 is certainly well supplied with big DSLR style bodies, especially with the rumours of a new GH5 variant coming.

Personally I came to m4/3 to downsize so big bodies don't interest me much. Hopefully Olympus/Panasonic will release at least one or two small but high-end cameras over the next year or so.
