Locally know as McKnarley. E-M10MkI w/ 12-45/4, CPL, PP in Topaz Studio 2.

I think this is the reason why Oly developed the 1X and 150-400 in time for the Japan Olympics, and COVID19 has thrown a wrench at it. So much for that good idea gone down the tube. - Roger

I think the E-M1X aimed at capturing pro market covering the Japan Olympics, which combined with the 300/4 (and upcoming 100-400) provides a much more easy to handle package than FF with 600mm. ...

That is why I got the E-M10 with 17/1.8 instead of the X100 and it is working nicely. An even smaller fixed lens camera slightly larger than the Ricoh GR with a viewfinder (hence why I didn't get ...

I completely agree with you. A small X100 like version that takes advantage of the smaller sensor would have been an awesome travel camera. The PEN series proves that small isn't difficult to do, ...

Undeniably, the Z6 IQ is indeed better and it is an awesome camera. Way better? That's debatable, not certain it's worth the extra $2000 for me (I can get an E-M10 for $125), but to each our own. ...

If size is the point you are trying to make, look at the size of the mounts? It is obvious which one will come ahead once you put a lens on it.

The PEN series, popular in Japan do exactly what you claim Olympus failed to do. It wasn't enough, and they tried to capture part of the pros and wealthy enthusiasts market. They succeeded to a ...

I agree with you. I can't believe how quick people are in putting nails in Olympus' coffin. They said time for major changes if we want to survive lets figure this out with JIP in September, ...

To replace with something equivalent, but not even so small a combo as my em10 with 12-45/4 I would need to spend in the magnitude of $3-4K with either Sony or Nikon Z, whereas I can buy another...

Leicas are certainly not cheap, yet they survive. Have a look at Nikon Zs or Sony cameras, they are no less expensive. If anything they are more expensive therefore cost isn't the issue. IQ, isn't...

JIP has not bought Olympus Camera Division. They only signed an MoU to discuss possibly taking over control. What that means is anybody's guess at this time.

Who might that be? JIP did NOT buy the Oympus Camera Division. Nobody has to my knowledge, and possibly nobody will.  I wish people would stop spreading mis-information.

Now I get it Bar talk in Tokyo... that puts your original post into perspective. Tx

What I understand JIP hasn't bought anything yet, they only signed an MoU to discuss the way ahead. As far as that goes, JIP isn't in the business of running industries, they are a clearing house ...

Even if Oly were to call it quit immediately, there would be cameras available for at least 2 yrs afterward. If and when that time comes, I'll do the same as frankly there isn't anything that can ...

In most likelyhood here how it goes... 2 yrs from now I will be shooting with my then 8 yrs old E-M10 with the 12-45/4 or 17/1.8 attached. 4 yrs from now I will be shooting with my then 10 yrs old ...

If everybody follow you advice, who will buy the kit you said I should sell? Think about it for a minute.

Some self proclaimed more informed individuals in this forum characterize JIP as the equivalent of an industrial slaughter house specializing in circumventing Japanese government mandated high...
