Making it a mirrorless FF wouldn't change that. For the nostalgia of using my lenses, I look at the mirrorless FF bodies. But I know that I would not use it if I had it.

With Sony, the aps-c lens covers the aps-c image circle. It amounts to "backwards compatibility" between lens systems, where you can revert to the smaller format lens, and get the same performance ...

I know these rumours / wishfull thinking have been out for quite a while, and now there is the Panasonic rumour. But what I can't figure out is how (if) it would make any difference to m43 shooters. ...

Without poring over the details, my initial impressions are: 1) Criticisms of the price of the costliest M43 bodies is even less relevant now. 2) Nikon observed well the iterations that M43 product ...

Thanks for demonstrating the problem. Even though those are the models that you list as desirable because they are not "entry level", you balk at the price and justify that by saying they are not ...

You mean the odd strategy of eliminating lines that don't sell well, and don't make a profit ? For whatever reason, the enthusiasm of DPR forums for the models you mention (and the GF1) haven't ...

Good point about the dedicated aspect ratio control.

I had a Canon APS compact with a similiar control. It was more of a gimmick, but it did make me think about framing, and what the final print...

One thing that stood out to me about the G1 was how much attention Panasonic put into the design of the body and controls.

Compared to the G5 that I later upgraded to, the G1 felt like it was...

Great example of seeing the spots while missing the Leopard.

The point here is that anyone can produce a "teaser video" but that leaves the significantly difficult exercise of Executing...

Yep, just like Nikon scared Sony with their announcement of the DL Compacts. Panicked Sony right into owning the high-end compact segment.

@ajunmehta
I think it is a point that M43 doesn't get enough credit for - because sensor technology has plateaued a bit, it's easier to add a camera like the GM5 to your existing collection, intead...

@arjunmehta

How did you find the Gx 85, as a GM5 upgrade.

@ the-bunker.
It's simply a matter of workflow. The GM5 is not the ideal choice if you need to use the EVF or work the camera controls by touch.

However if your photo situation allows you to use...

I miss the rapid technological change of those years. I wonder if the push into mirrorless will produce something similiar.

In terms of market position and strategy Sony is far more like Olympus & Panasonic, than Canon & Nikon. Sony's approach is to innovate because they were not a DSLR incumbent. That is the point of...

Because of facts like that, I can easily see Nikon offering partial compatability with the existing catalog.

Everyone has  plan, until marketing shows up to re-decide everything :-)

Looking at the DPR survey, the distinctly popular feature choices are High Res sensor, Sports ready AF, Lifelike viewer, small afforbable primes, and full lens compatability. Kind of the sexy, ...

@Olifaunt
which isn't even remotely labradoodlers point here.
