BCN published the 2017 sales numbers. And once more Olympus is leader within the mirrorless camera market. They managed to increase the share by 0,9%. What’s again surprising me is the good performance of Canon despite their lack of lenses in their EOS-M range. I guess the “brand-value” is still strong enough to help them selling their EOS-M cameras.

This is a continuous / unedited 5 minutes+ video autofocus test: Panasonic GH5S vs GH5 vs G9 vs G85 All videos were shot at 4K24P, face detection, otherwise all default settings.
Panasonic has just sent me the new firmware 1.0 for the Panasonic GH5S so I thought it’s a good time to re-test the autofocus tracking performance in video mode again as the last time was done on firmware 0.2.
This time I’ve compared 4 of latest Panasonic cameras together including the big 3 GH5,GH5S and G9 and my own G85
– Panasonic Lumix GH5S (firmware 1.0) | Leica DG 12-60mm f/2.8-4
– Panasonic Lumix GH5 (firmare 2.2) | Leica DG 12-60mm f/2.8-4
– Panasonic Lumix G9 (firmware 1.0) | Leica DG 12-60mm f/2.8-4
– Panasonic Lumix G85 (firmware 1.2) Lumix 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6So what do you think about GH5S’s video mode autofocus performance? Is it better than the other three cameras?

A bunch of trusted soruces confirmed that Olympus will have a product announcement in February. As a reminder: The Cp+ shows starts on March 1.
We can safely assume that the camera that will be announced is the new E-PL9 which has been already registered at the Bluetooth agency. We also heard about a special OMD anniversary model but we got no confirmation yet if this camera will be shown at Cp+ or sometimes later.
