The Franch site Focus Numerique interviewed Olympus CEO Toshiyuki Terada. Here are some key info:
– Olympus no intention to create a video oriented Olympus camera like the Panasonic GH5s or Fuji X-H1
– Olympus does not plan to make a low resolution photocamera to achieve crazy high iso result (it only makes sense for video cameras like the GH5s)
Makes sense!

Personal View interviewed three Panasonic managers. here are just some of the insights they got:
– “This is difficult to say” if GH5(s) specs will find their way in a new AF100 successor.
– There may be a “compatibility issue” with 4k 48 frames per second on GH5(s).
– There is yet no plan…but it is possible to increase the 60fps on the G85.
– DCI Cinema 4k 60fps cannot be added on the GH5 due to possible heat issues.
– Also RAW video cannot be added on GH5(S) due to possible heat issues.
