With the recent news, It's kind of strange that Panasonic releases a small vlogging camera. But now its time for them to step on the gas.

Pansonic really needs to focus on M43 strengths and that is Size. They need to make smaller premium bodies and lenses at the right price.

We need a GM premium body, or at least a GX7 sized body, weather sealed with their latest tech, we need a G9 successor in a smaller form factor. This is what M43 needs to compete and not only survive, but thrive.

They can't compete with sensor size, but the actual physical size of their cameras, stuffed with features would definitely lure users.

200% agreed.

They also have to try and lure Olympus users to their brand, instead of them leaving to say, a Fujifilm or Sony.

Sadly not every Olympus shooter sees a Panasonic is a camera... ☹️

Well y'know what, when the knobs fall off, rubber peels off, dials no longer work, mounts break, the Olympus faithful will have to move on. So it's either sell their whole kit and move on, or use their existing lenses on a Lumix body.

Good luck on the used market I guess for the die-hard. Haha!

This is a perfect time to strike and double down on M43. It's theirs for the taking.
