This one is no surprise at all. The Kumamoto earthquake halted the Sony production for many months. And this explains the 26% sales drop reported by Olympus in his latest financial report:

Sales and income down due to temporary mirrorless camera market stagnancy caused by the Kumamoto Earthquake and planned 2nd-half launches of new products

And the forecast has been also revised down due the ongoing Kumamoto “effect” and the new Brexit scenario:

I took this photo with the E-M10 and pancake lens. As I’m new to m43 I took 2 different exposures to combine lately in photoshop but for my surprise in the end I only used the 1.7 EV overexposed picture and processed it in Capture One.

Anonymous: “The GX8, whose sales are comatose, is being sold at a blowout price in Canada. https://shopping.panasonic.ca/products/On-Sale-Items/index.aspx?lang=en&c=SPL
Remember, the GX85 was introduced only 9 months after the GX8, and is now selling better than the GX8.”
