GFK groups mirrorless all into one category, not just looking at MFT.
Ah... How about Samsung? Is it included?

Everyone is assuming. Olympus SG hardly have thick fat margins and trying to stay competitive with the region they are giving up their profits to prevent too much grey market imports. Because there is a 7% GST in Singapore, many brands are suffering as consumers are going across the border or to places like Hong Kong to buy stuff.
They have been selling PENs with almost no profit considering the amount of money poured out to R&D, it is a fact that they are merely pushing out the PENs at that low price to win customers over. Yes they manage to stay profitable but not enough to be giving out big fat bonuses. Maybe that is the DNA of the company.
Should they end up going the way of Canon and splurge large amount of money to market, I am sure price tags of products will start going up up up... that would be quite sad.

Ha we should get a GFK rep to join CS. Well it's as per how the market is exactly right now. All interchangeable lens camera brands included.
Remember NEX3/5 using GFK data to promote themselves over Nov/Dec period as the top camera in the "mirrorless interchangeable lens camera" category?
Anyways this is getting OOP. I'm quite excited to see Oly's lineup too!
Hahahah,I don't even know what is GFK data:embrass::bsmilie:
Ha, GFK is a research company dealing with consumer electronics, and where the brands get the numbers from. They can't pluck the numbers from air right? Heh.

What do you think an OLY pro m 4/3 will look like, something like a GH2?
zan82 said:That's where the puzzling part is, ha. Oly Sg does not do any R&D, assuming I'm correct, it's a sales company and Oly in Japan is the manufacturer which does all the R&D etc.
Actually this can get pretty sensitive, so I'd stop here.

i seriously dun know how the PEN Pro will look like. If i were to guess, i believe its going to look like the PEN2 but bigger due to better seals & material. Focus module might be something like the Fuji X100 Hybrid AF. IQ wise i think it'll not be like E5 however, shud be lower.
Anyone fancy a Pro Ltd Ed forged out from a block of titanium, like a Vertu? :bsmilie: :heart: :devil: :lovegrin:
I'm kinda hoping it will be GH2 type form factor, I really like having a grip.
