Anonymous:Upcoming OMD EM1 + PRO 12-40mm f/2.8 kit sale. My local (USA) dealer told me yesterday that Olympus will be offering the subject bundle for $1400 within a month or so. Quite a bargain as they try to clear out EM-1 inventory.

Fredrik:I made a video comparing ISO from 400 – 6400 on skin tones with the GX85 and the Nocticron 42,5mm. I think it looks very good up to 1600. From 3200 and up you should consider applying some noise reduction.

Thomas:Hi Andrea, I was recently testing the GX8 in Hamburgs “entertainment” district and also made a comparison of the GX8 and GX80/85 in London. My point of view is how these cams work in street photography…
