Gift ?

I paid full (non discounted) initial release price for my E-M1 II and there were no free giveaways of Speedlights or lenses.

And I paid near AU$100 for each of 3 batteries and a couple of hundred for a battery grip.

No way I see any gift horses here

I was referring to the recent 3.0 firmware update, which I believe was the genesis of the posters original post.

BTW, I too paid full boat for my E-M1 II, as did my wife. We both preordered ours at 3am the first morning it was available. Best purchase we made in a long time (until our Olympus 12-100’s came along, that is)

Yeah my mk2 was a full price pre-order as well, paid close to full for the EM1X at release as well

when the mk2 was released they was huge fanfare that we would be getting yearly updates over a four year cycle, seeing as we are approaching the 3yr mark i'd say the second major release is behind schedule and hardly a gift horse. It is however highly welcome and great to see what they could port from the 1X... the only miss i think is the lack of my menu .... maybe that is purely a eeprom/memory limit.

The only E-M1X feature I would have liked to try was the “build it yourself “ focus grouping. But, maybe that is just my curiosity, and I would never have used it anyway.

so far the AF performance on the EM1X has been excellent but i do have a couple of use cases to try out custom focus groups just no driving need to create them.

The "My Menu" is something i miss immediately in the mk2

So far I like the 3.0 firmware even if it was something I paid for in the initial purchase price, but didn’t realize it. I’ve paid more and got less on more than one occasion.

oh yeah... new cars, new computers

BUT

the OP seems to want a range of things that are uniquely Panasonic and it's hard to work out if it's a wish list or just a not looking after my personal want whine.
