Olympus takes second spot on the Japanese mirrorless market

Olympus is no more the leader in the mirrorless system camera market. According to a new BCNretail report during the first six months 2018 Canon is on top with 30,1% share over Olympus 27,7% share.

Still a mystery for me how such an incomplete system like the one that Canon has can overthrow all other mirrorless makers (Olympus-Panasonic-Fuji-Sony).

What’s the rumored Olympus stuff that you would buy? E-M5-III, PEN-F-II and 12mm PRO

The next cameras from Olympus will be the PEN-F II and the Olympus E-M5 III. We know the E-M5III is going to be announced in early 2019. I am still not sure if the PEN-F II will be announced in very late 2018 or also in 2019.

Pier-Yves:Today I made a film I would like you share with the people of 43Rumors > https://vimeo.com/280108939 It is about the final of the 2018 World Cup of football. Il filmed the joy of the people in the streets of Paris. I used the Panasonic DMC-GX80 and the Leica 15mm F/1.7 lens. Everything was filmed by a show of hands. No pretension. Just a memory. Some ambiances seized quickly Boulevard Vincent Auriol. I had no microphone or lighting. A wink dedicated to my son H. passionate about sport.
