So I guess I'm reviving this thread. I want to say that I really hope Olympus continues to push its video capabilities. Sure, it's hard to beat Panasonic's established presence in the market and the maturity of their video features (waveforms, excellent audio-preamps, better LOG formats...etc.), but I still think there's a video market Panasonic hasn't quite captured: the adventure cinematographers. It's for people who want something a bit more serious than a GoPro but more durable than a regular mirrorless; it's like a GoPro and a mirrorless camera had a baby! Sorry GoPro, but you will always be the ultra-wide first-person stunt cam, and not much else. I might be able to strap you to my head carving my way down the slopes, but I can't capture the close-up detail of slower moving subjects. Your heavy Sony full-frame could record that beautiful sunrise blooming over a mountianscape, but you're really risking it with snow and subzero temperatures. It has unmatched weather sealing & ruggedness and is still ahead of Pana in the stabilization and especially autofocus departments. It's light, while the GH5/GH6 are still comparatively bulky. With no gimbal needed, it has the potential to be the premium run-n-gun outdoor camera brand. We just need some better LOG formats and graph monitoring-tool. -------- Apparently the EM1-iii and the OM-1 have 12-bit external RAW... which is surprising. Not sure how 12-bit RAW is different from 10-bit 4:2:2. Sounds like it could be more work in post. It'd be great if they could add 10-bit 4:2:2 among other shooting modes for smoother workflows. I feel like a lot of the Lumix video features could be implemented into Olympus cameras to make them more competitive. https://www.getolympus.com/us/en/digitalcameras/omd/om-d-e-m1-mark-iii.html https://www.getolympus.com/us/en/digitalcameras/omd/om-system-om-1.html oh look they have both have focus peaking. and the OM-1 has zebras. Nice. Now add waveforms please. That alone might make me comfortable enough to ditch Lumix as my M4/3 b-cam.
