Le Frog

I doubt if there is anything novel and inventive about the idea of a pop-up evf as such (if not for any other reason, at least because it has been anticipated by my own humble posts in photography ...

what about the pop-up evf of the Sony RX100 series? that, I am afraid, (to the extent that it is not a matter of clever implementation) is merely a matter of taste; for me they do.

more than that: one on top of the evf, one front right, the focus mode dial could be replaced by a lever on the front left, the top dials could be fitted with a button in the middle (same as in ...

??? Same features with the PEN-F (IBIS, 20mp, ergonomic controls), same built quality with the PEN-F, and all of a sudden less value just because it is SMALLER?

:-D:-D:-D

It is. No comparison with the GM. If you use your phone just to make phone calls, then, yes, smaller is better; but smartphones are the modern Swiss army knife: calendar, memo pad, e-reader, map ...

Small is beautiful. Selling "Big" as a synonym for "professional" or "manly" was - still is - an advertisement gimmick. [edit: but I can see your point; those who believe that ...

Repositioning is not a matter of marketing, it's a matter of substance. Why, for example should the GM5 have just a single back dial plus the measly pasm and as/ac/m dials, instead of using the ...

By repositioning the GM line as a high end no holds barred miniature for enthusiasts and travellers, and as a second body photojournalists, instead of an upmarket, classy, entry level gadget for ...

As soon as they start feeling the hot breath of everybody else going mirrorless (especially Canon building a few more lenses for its M series) they might have to thing again. I hope.

I cannot find any picture of the gf chassis, but it is probably a standard plastic-panels-over-a-cage construction A cheap DSLR cage, courtesy of what digital camera Or, you may look here for a ...

I guess you never shoot in the sun. tougher to improve - would need new shutter easy to improve

We know that IBIS was perfectly possible ages ago in a body the size of the Olympus PM2. So, that is the absolut maximum, without even taking technological advances into account. We also know that ...

a definite plus - I wonder why Panasonic offers something like this only in the LX100 Alas, no GM any more, period; no new small m4/3 lenses either. :-( :-x

My comment (I thought that it should be obvious from context) was not about m4/3 v. Canon M v. Fuji v Sony.  The point I was trying to make is that with the exception of the GM series, m4/3 has no ...

The obvious thing: no new GM models. Davide AN is not interested in the GH orGXx series, or the Olympus EM series (and neither am I); he is interested in ivesting in m43 because of the GM5 and the ...

on the other other hand though, if you are going to stop it down, why lug the extra size and weight in the first place? Just on the off chance that you might not?

... which has been cast away by its parent, like a runt :-x :-x :-x (unless ff/ml competition forces panasonic to start shrinking bodies) LoL, I shudder to think of the cost of a ff lens free of ...

The GM series have made me invest in m43; unfortunately, they are dead. Is a GM5 2+2 (12-32, 35-100/4-5.6, 15, 42.5/45) a great combo? Definitely yes. Is it worth investing in it (instead of an 1" ...

... preferably multiaspect; and wouldn't you want to see something like Canon's dual pixel technology and Red's dual native sensitivity sensors? Size and weight : equal or less than LX200; or the ...
