I'd also be totally OK with them releasing an entry-level M43 camera based on modern-day "entry-level" specs. Give me a GM5 that can do good-quality 10-bit 4K at 24 frames per second with a log profile and price it at $600 and I'll come sprinting back to Micro 4/3. Fuji was able to put more of than in the X-M5 which is $900 new - the only thing that's kept me from picking one up and playing with x mount is that the used prices are still at a "just buy it new, I guess" $870. Anyway, just give it a GH5 sensor from 2017 or a GH5s sensor from 2018. It's a great sensor and I know people who are still happily shooting with their GH5. For that price, I wouldn't even pitch a fit if it didn't have IBIS ($700 with IBIS would be about equally tempting, though!). It overheats after 10 minutes? Fine by me! 100% this. When I could go spend $2.2k and get either a GH7 or a Nikon ZR - when the ZR is much smaller than the GH7, I'd better really care about IBIS because otherwise it's not even close. Though the GH7 is on sale right now for $1,800 which I guess makes it more competitive, but... That is somewhat true, but sometimes the trade-offs in full frame terms just kind of end up making the lens feel micro 4/3sy. Like the Canon 800/11 which is probably the most "giving something up" of FF lenses basically ends up like a 400/5.6 on Micro 4/3 - and it's surprisingly good/sharp? The EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L is pretty decent and doesn't weigh all that much. The slower aperture matters less on a modern body. I'd also keep in mind that if shooting 8K on a FF body, you can crop in a bit before matching the resolution of even the best Micro 4/3 body which is 6K. Anyway. Regardless of trade-offs or which system can be micro-optimized to have the absolute best telephoto performance at the minimum weight, shooting micro 4/3 for telephoto reasons is likely to stay a niche use case for the foreseeable future. For me, it seems like the future of M43 almost has to be in small/light bodies. If I were buying one today, I'd be so much more likely to pick up an OM5 II than a GH7. The GH7 may be the pinnacle of Micro 4/3 technology, but it's also bigger and heavier than the EOS R5 that I already own. -

That's a rather absolute statement and probably easy to debunk. Also, hinting progress isn't making an announcement of any kind. You'd probably agree that it shouldn't be expected that Lumix would make a announcement with CINED either. But, saying there's development is certainly doable. Does it? This is mature tech now and certainly not on the cutting edge. I think the cost is more in weight than anything else. Although, the E-P7 is only 337g and has proper 5-axis IBIS. I agree with this, except the new market could easily accept premium compacts too. There's also room for in-between products similar to the GX9, which wasn't really a bottom feeder either. A newer version of that camera would be exactly what I want, perhaps even smaller and lighter and even more premium. My feeling is that if they can do stuff in a phone, they could also do it in a camera. @Andrew - EOSHDwas right in saying that there's been an "Americanization" of these cameras, meaning bigger, chunkier cameras and seemingly without too much consideration for how components could be miniaturized. (I believe he said something like this in his GH6 review). The difference in size between the GH6/7 and a GH1 is massive; unapologetically ignoring all advancements in smaller components. I want smaller with M43, not more capable if it means massive bodies. Yeah, that really depends on the manufacturer. They're always giving up something, with a few exceptions. -
Hey everyone! I've just recently purchased a gh2 and I was looking for people who might still have any gh2 patches available since the personal-view site is down where they hosted most of the gh2 patches If someone could provide any sort of links to gh2 patches available, that would be highly appreciated -
