I agree. My interests in m4/3 lie with the likes of the EM10, GX80, or GX9, together with the smaller lenses. Mark

I think 200mm is a bit short for most wildlife (even if equivalent to the 300mm he currently uses on APS-C).

I would recommend getting one of the zooms that start at 12mm. There are quite a few to choose from, differing in size, range and price: 12-32 f3.5/5.6 Panasonic 12-50 f3.5/6.3 Olympus 12-60 ...

Interpolation is a very tricky business, especially when there are unquantified uncertainties in the data.

It makes it easier to predict the performance of the lens on a new sensor - whether one with more pixels or a different anti-alias filter. The old tests on 12MP sensors are no longer of much use ...

Would be nice at this time of year (Northern hemisphere). Ditto for viewfinder. Mark

A lot depends on how you travel. When cycling, I hate carrying anything non trivial attached to my body. The camera has to go in the saddle bag where it shares space with tools, rain gear, etc. ...

The Pixel 3 has a 12.2MP sensor - about the same as 4K video - and presumably can sample it at video rates, i.e. about 30fps. The G9 and GH5 can also read their sensors at video rates. The EM1 II ...

I have the Pentax M 135mm f3.5. It is reasonably compact. In practice I find the Panasonic 45-150mm f4/5.6 to be much more convenient. Mark

Yes some of us do want the equivalent of f4 (or f3.5) primes on FF. Yet I suspect that it is easier to market f1.7 or f2 primes for m4/3 than the equivalent f3.5/4 primes on FF, even though the ...

Sometimes at the expense of not being very good at any of those things. My current (albeit much cheaper) phone isn't even all that good at being a phone - it is expending so much cpu on all that ...

The regional Panasonic models differ in the video frame rates (24/30/60 in the US vs 24/25/50 in Europe for example), and in limits on video length (not quite 30 minutes in Europe). Also I seem to ...

When a phone has both a wifi and mobile data connection, it supposed to prefer the wifi route. If the wifi connection does not connect to the internet (as in the case when connected to a camera), ...

is a must with current file sizes (especially RAW). Mark

You like most participants here (including myself) are not representative of the market Olympus (and Panasonic) need to reach if they are to increase (or even just hold) the sales. If we only ...

It is the reality of the world as my children see it.

One thing still missing from most 'proper' cameras is the ability to get a shot to Facebook et al, quickly and without hassle. My shots may be better, but they are hours late. Mark

Indeed, and as you might see from my gear list I bought one! However, while most focal lengths were covered 3 times by zooms, we never got many primes. Perhaps offering 3 tiers was pushing the ...

I can't see any significant benefit, apart from bragging rights, to making a 17mm f1.8 smaller than the current Olympus model. Ditto for the 12mm f2, Panasonic 15mm f1.7, Olympus 45mm f1.8 and ...

Neither is weather sealed, a more surprising omission at the price point of the 75mm. The minimum focus distance is a bit long on the 45mm; The Panasonic 42.5 f1.7 is rather better in this respect. ...
