SENSORS
15

Everything you say is completely correct.  But, you left out one  really huge factor: SENSOR tech.

I have a GX8.  I have had zero reason to upgrade it as the sensors that M43 uses now are an iteration of the same one the GX8 has.

What they need to do is introduce an updated sensor with better DR, better noise performance, and PDAF on ALL of them (their competition has outrun them at every turn in all of their bodies at this point on this feature).

Then, go with your suggestions: Keep body size and price down, offer value, not bloat.  Emphasize the strengths of the medium, don't try and mimic FF in size and price...not going to work with how cheap some FF bodies are now out there....and even the worst FF mirrorless crushes the best M43 sensor output once you get even one click above base ISO....(Trust me on this, I have an RP...) .  Publicize how exceptional the lens choices are...which is why I am using M43 again along with the RP.  It's a big deal.

Frustrating, frustrating....I wish they would listen to M43 users, not their marketing departments...
