Re: It is not a step up over 20 Mp m43s

I have shot a few projects with the GH5 and the photo quality is NOT near NX at all.

It is not the same league, unfortunately, or else I would have migrate to GH5 completely, as I am already using it on a lot for video projects and I own the 12-100mm Olympus lens (to use with the GH5).

I am waiting to see what GH6 will be, maybe for my needs will cover my photo needs also.

20mgpxls for pro use is a bit limited also, one of the reasons I am sceptical about the R6 (I have EF and EF-S glass also).

I have decided that 24mgpxls are the minimum for me, but 20mgpxls full frame, maybe is good enough (for other reasons than resolution). I am waiting to see independent tests of R6, the new Sony A7sIII and the GH6 (which we do not even have a good rumor yet), or if the new Fuji X-H2 surprises us all (I doubt it, it will have a significant, or two, weaknesses for video).

I work mostly for film and TV the last few years, so I have put my personal projects on hold for the moment and 0 professional photography for 2020 (I declined all photography jobs), I haven't even use the P4K on a project yet, so I can wait until early 2021 for my new purchases and re-arrange my photo/video priorities again.
