I still don't think Olympus is disappearing given strong sales, but I'd go with Panasonic.  The only thing I don't like about Panasonic is that their high end 43 camera bodies are too large.

I took photos at a riot overseas and I'll never forget good advice given to me, it things get nasty, take lots of photos quickly and move away to safety.  In riots, it doesn't matter whose side ...

No.  One of the reasons I would not switch is that I don't have to shoot at high ISOs.  ISO 200 or 100 with Olympus is better in DR and noise than ISO 800 in the much bigger sensors.

My understanding is the whole camera division is sold so I don't see why the software development shouldn't go with them.  So yes, we should see updates.

So, it's hard to see Panasonic leaving that market or even see the new Olympus leaving it either.

Are Olympus lenses a part of the deal?  I find it hard to believe that the Olympus / Zuiko name will just disappearr.

1. A lot of famous name brands are owned by other companies. 2. Panasonic has not given up on m43.  They would be stupid to do so since it is one of the largest mounts. If m43 goes, so will the ...

Olympus will be a niche player, like Pentax, probably very similarly positioned to Pentax.

Thinking about this in FF terms, it just means that there are no primes between 150mm and 400mm which makes more sense.  It would still be nice to say have a 200mm (100mm) prime in m43 terms, but ...

Nice, thank you.

It sounds like a software compatibility issue, which is a shame because the quality of the images I can get from Luminar is really great, better than from Lightroom. I also like the fact that the ...

I know not many talk about it, but this is one of my favorite lenses because of that.  Images take on an almost 3D look with beautiful bokeh.  And it is light.

thank you

Agree completely. Add to this that the E1-iii has an amazing overall set of features in a small, rugged package.

Great camera, enjoy.

Sounds interesting, but I'll stick with Luminar for the time being.

I find the same thing with my Olympus 75-300,mm which some claim is not sharp wide open at 300mm, but I get really sharp images from it at that range.  Really light for a 300mm lens too.

Agreed. Too bad we can't access those reviews online.

Nice!

m43 photographers are more interesting people!
