Plenty of news on the facebook E-M1II group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

Panasonic manager Yosuke Yamane has been interviewed by Imaging Resource. All the talk is  about the new S1H. But he also said this:

In Micro Four Thirds, the GH-series already has a good reputation, because of the small size and mobility. And it has already been used for independent movie production. But as we said, full-frame sensors provide higher picture expression with the shallow depth of field, resolution and dynamic range. I expect lots of production companies are interested in that and they appreciate the value of full frame. So I think the GH and S1H will co-exist based on the shooting scene.

Yes I  think the S1H will not take  away  sales from  the GH series. The S1H costs nearly  three times as much and it’s heavier and the glass a lot bigger (and limited in numbers). I can’t wait to see the new GH6 now :)

This is really an odd camera: It’s a smartphone, it has a FourThirds sensor but it uses the Canon EF-mount. It would have  made a lot more sense if the Yongnuo YN450 would feature a Micro Four Thirds mount. Lenses would be smaller and the mount flange distance much short. I hope  they will make a MFT mount version  of this!

Anyway, here are the first  unboxing pictures of the Yongnuo YN450 via Weibo:
