One more time this shows that at least in Japan Olympus did do well. Let’s hope this is enough for JIP to keep pushing the MFT system.

Panasonic will have a press event Friday 8th January, 10am GMT (5am ET, 2am PT). I think it’s unlikely that we will get new MFT products on that day. The best we can hope is to get a hint about the future GH6 8K camera because this years event will be all focused on 8K TV’s.
