    Marcio Kabke Pinheiro got a reaction from John Matthews in Olympus OM-1   
    This is what I doubt - and was one of the reasons that I moved to Fuji.

    Panasonic last lens launches were the 1.7 zooms, and the only camera rumored was the GH6. OM is beaten the drum of "wildlife / ruggedness", and launching PRO lenses. Looks like that they will focus in these niches, and only in higher price / higher margins.

    After the G9 (which, maybe, got a sucessor, but I don't bet on it), Panasonic released the GX9 (VERY underrated camera, it is very good, but is a GX85 slightly upped) and the G95 (GX9 internals in a bigger body, plus some little extras). No proper GX camera (with good EVF, lots of controls), the GM line is vanished.

    Olympus crippled the amazing E-M10 MK II in the MK III, and the MK IV is just a new sensor. The E-P7 was kinda hinted to be the Pen F sucessor. The E-PL and E-PM lines are dead.
    My guesses: Panasonic will launch the GH6, maybe a G10, and wait. Maybe a G100 and a GX10, but if these cameras did not sell, they will kill their MFT line. And all these occasional financial publications talking about they thinking to sell their camera division remembers me a lot the Samsung and Olympus cases.

    OM will probably launch an OM-5. A proper Pen F sucessor would be amazing, but AFAIK, despite all the enthusiasts crying for a sucessor, the original Pen F sold much less than antecipated - because of the high price, and a sucessor proabaly would be in the US$ 1100 range, with a X100V costing $1400 with a lens, or an X-E4 at $849,00.  

    If Panasonic and Olympus could make a turn in the MFT sales, I guess this is the last MFT generation.

    Almost all OM System videos are people on the outdoors, covered in snow to the waist, shooting under monsoons, base jumping inside an active volcano...their intended demographic for this camera is well defined.

    I agree on the importance of AF.
    Especially in a mirrorless camera.
    In terms of the market, Blackmagic seems to have got a free pass though. Shit AF all round from them, and nobody complains and the cameras sell like hot cakes.
    So what's going on?
    Sony, Canon and Nikon all AF obsessed and producing very capable systems in both video and stills mode. Fuji is patchy.
    I thought maybe it's Sony patents holding Panasonic to ransom, or past mistakes. But then a literal Olympus CORPSE comes out of a graveyard and gives us Quad Pixel phase-detect AF on sensor.
    It's absolutely bizarre the whole thing isn't it?
    As for GH6, I have one but am under NDA so can't say anything about it until it launches for real.

    It sounds like you made the right choice for yourself, given your criteria.
    Personally, I wouldn't have chosen any of those lenses to make the comparison as they are huge lenses from the first-party manufacturer versus a bunch of third-part stuff. By the way, not all M43 cameras and lenses are big (GM1=204g + a tonne of under 150g, pocketable primes to choose from) and many of them have much better IBIS, especially with longer lenses; so, not really apples to apples here. Is that Tamron 28-200 a fully metal constant aperture lens with IBIS that works perfectly with the body and heavily weather-sealed with a MF clutch system that's probably the best in the industry?
    I don't buy anything new unless heavily discounted (like 50% off or free, with full warranties) and most of the time I buy used. The fact is that there are so many good, small M43 lenses for dirt cheap because of people saying FF is the greatest thing in the world and anyone serious SHOULD use FF. Please keep saying it too because I want more people to ditch their M43 stuff so I can keep buying it for ridiculously good prices. If I don't like the lens I buy, I usually sell it for more than I got it for. In my experience, you have a lot more risk with anything FF because the prices end up being way more and you'll be lucky to partially get your money back.
    Sometimes I think the mere existence of M43 pisses FF users off. It's funny.

    I've been using it for about 5 days now (should have gotten it over a week ago, but Fedex + snowstorm decided to spit on that idea).
    In short, I preordered as soon as it Adorama last night. The autofocus is incredible, the handheld AI features are incredible, build quality is exceptional (I put it in my shower for ten minutes).
    The new 40-150/4, which they loaned me too, is fantastic as well (wish it had a focus clutch, but not a big deal).
    My full review will be coming later at Petapixel but paired with the grip and the Olympus 100-400 and this thing is a wildlife photographer's dream.
    Image quality is certainly at least one step above the former 20MP sensor, though I have not spent much time messing with the files so far. Where I'd limit my E-M5 III to 1600, maybe 3200 in emergencies, I'm comfortable going to 6400 here. And with the even better IBIS (which is the best out there), rarely do I need to. The auto ISO options are still the same, which is to say that they suck.
    Menu has been redesigned and is SO MUCH better, thank god. I love Olympus cameras but they always had the worst menus.

    Same boat for me, size is my number one request. Never forget my last trip, one GX85, one LX100 (for my wife), the Panasonic 12-32 (what a gem), 45-175, 42,5 f/1.7, and a Rokinon 12mm f/2. Never felt the need for something else, and everything packed in a little messenger bag. 

    Moved to Fuji because of the (in my opinion) the future of the format (not by quality, but because of the FF craze), because Oly and Panny were never sold officially here in Brazil (almost all my gear was bought in trips in another countries), because Fuji have kind of good body prices in comparison (we have a 60% import tax, cameras are usually double the US price, and some Fujis are sold here 30-50% higher "only"), and, ultimately, because after m43, is who have the smallest lenses.
    The 18-55 f/2.8-4 zoom is indeed very good for video, the Nocticrons are small and good enough from my needs, the 55-200 have a good size and is very sharp, and got the Rokinon 12mm again. To make it closer to my old m43 system, got a Viltrox 85 f/1.8 to replace the (motferf*cking amazing) Olympus 75mm f/1.8. 

    Zero interest in full frame, because of lens size. Ok, I could play the equivalence game, getting slower lenses, but these tend to be rather lackluster - is some FF system make a buch of very small f/4-5.6 lenses with good quality, maybe I will go there (but I doubt).

    For me, I trade size and discreetion for absolute quality.

    After seeing the value of the 35m f/2, I was somewhat torn; if I could sell it for the market prices, it would help to get a newer camera, and probably the lens could arrive in better hands to use it (remember, I'm an amateur, and with Covid and other work issues I barely shoot at all).

    But I've got the lens, put it in my X-S10 with a passive adapter, and made some clips of my daughter, my wife and my mother-in-law, inside the house. Looking at the images, I understood all the hype, the footage was beautiful. 🙂 Lens will stay here, except if the prices goes much more crazy.

    Little side note - did not used my vintage ones since I moved to Fuji, but looks like that all the talk about thickness of the sensor stack (Fuji is much thinner than m4/3) is real - the footage from the lens was much sharper than the same lens on my Panasonics. Very sharp, but not in a digital way.

    Seems to me it IS a "wow" camera but only for a couple of specific groups of people.
    For SOME already high end m43 users, it might be and for adventurers who travel to remote locations off the beaten track in all weather for wildlife it might be just the ticket.
    For me it is just a nice m43 camera that I am unlikely to ever buy but i hope it does sell well.

    My take is fundamentally different, and I expect to get pushback on this, but I don't think it's getting worse at all.  Not picking on you @Marcio Kabke Pinheiro - the "it's all going wrong" narrative is pretty common around here.
    I think the fundamental issues are to do with humanity and the aggressive parts of our nature.  That hasn't changed.  Anyone who thinks the current period in history is bad should review history and see how things used to be.  Life used to be brutal and short.  In almost all cases "might made right" and the golden rule was the only rule - he that has the gold makes the rules.  
    Social media isn't bad at all, it's just an echo chamber.  If you don't like the echos you're hearing then find another chamber.  
    Actually, find 27 other chambers.  Find something that inspires you.  My favourite YouTubers are metalworkers and woodworkers and are building their own homes or cabins in the woods or write music or cook or talk about town planning or explain philosophy or mathematics or physics or economics or travel or living in other cultures/places or....  <and I stopped here, but I was only up to G in my subscriber list>
    This advice goes for me too, as I need to spend less time on social.  I'm trying to read more.  I'm actually looking for more hobbies as the pandemic has limited things for so long that I need to have some new things in the mix to break things up and inspire me again.
