On today’s big MFT youtube event both Panasonic and OM Digital shared their thoughts about the future of the system. Here are some key info:
OM Digital:
- We’ve tried designing an f/1.0 lens, but it’s hard to deal with the autofocus system.
- We are developing a new kind of product family
- There will be a product something worth the wait
- PEN-F didn’t sell well…but a successor isn’t excluded yet
- We will not go into the Full Frame market
- We will not join the L-mount system
Panasonic:
- We are developing both MFT cameras and lenses
- Lenses with 800+ range are being discussed internally
