He says. Monitor and see what happens. Panasonic Lumix has a kind hearted parent company that tolerates repeated failure over a long period of time. (unlike Olympus Camera Division's parent company). Panasonic Lumix has made partial rectification by going Full Frame and gradually neglecting...

About the Micro Mirrorless Yashica. It has a 1/2.3 inch sensor. The body is not that much smaller than a Lumix GM1 or Sony ZV-1 Is it still at kickstarter stage? This thing will FAIL.

About Mr. Andrea Pizzini's video. I don't think so. Anyway monitor what happens later. Mr. Andrea Pizzini explained at great length how a bigger sensor would benefit image quality. He was saying how nice it would be if mobile phones has MFT sensors instead of 1 inch sensors. Well all his...

I view BCN statistics as not representative of world wide sales & not even representative of Japan only. Because they cherry pick from some photo stores. Well, they do not compile statistics and issue reports for free. Some one must pay them. Directly or indirectly. Of course, he who pays the...

Some one ask questions regarding JIP and OMDS. JIP & OMDS In my opinion, JIP is not the white knight savior of broken companies. JIP exists to circumvent strict labour laws in Japan that make it costly for parent companies to wind up their money losing subsidiaries. They are bean counters.

There are YouTube uploaders who say OMDS OM System OM1-Mk2 is lousy. There are YouTube uploaders who say OMDS OM System OM1-Mk2 is good. From what I can observe, OMDS is repeating the mistake made by the now dead Olympus Camera Division. Paying people either directly or indirectly to praise...

Robin says.. The discussion is generally negative regarding the OM-1 Mk2.

There will be praise and applause by ambassadors and those with vested interests. For an alternative opinion. See below.

Sure die. Minor changes sold as a new model. Taking a Sigma and selling as an OMDS lens. How sad is that? US$2399? This useless thing is aimed at those with Sunken Costs. Have to forgive Red35 - he is forced to say it is good as an ambassador. Or else he will be FIRED. Who is going to buy...

The comment on BCN is a general statement about the quality of Statistics presented to us consumers by market research organizations with a commercial vested interest. Just take it with a pinch of salt. As consumers, you do not have to directly pay the market research organizations. But...

The 3 camera models mentioned in the BCN report are branded "Olympus". They are not branded "OM System". This is a fact that cannot be denied. OMDS has officially dropped the brand name "Olympus". Whatever "Olympus" branded cameras that are currently sold are likely old stocks in the...

(Nikonrumors) They say... BCN Ranking released their 2020 Japanese camera market share report (not worldwide!). BCN Ranking collects real sales data only from approximately 40% of the Japanese retailers. The Nikon related numbers: Read more...

BCN is only from sales data from about 40% of Japan retailers, It does not represent worldwide market share. The 3 models are named "Olympus". OMDS cannot make it with their camera models named "OM Systems". Told you it was a Branding blunder. Because data source is only 40%, (less than half)...

OMDS is not in financial shape to spend money on R&D. Their release of cameras after creation of OMDS - are models already in the process of design and manufacture under the ex-Olympus Camera Division. OMDS has not innovated anything NEW. It will die a corporate death. Probably a slow death...

Nobody goes into business to purposely lose big sums of money each year, consistently over many years. This sort of fantasy has an ................ END POINT. Eventually MFT manufacturers OMDS and Panasonic will have to decide to stop. Because the world wide market rejects it.
