We got plenty of new cameras in 2016. On paper 2017 should be less exciting. But there’s always hope that Olympus and Panasonic will make something unexpected!
So now let us know:
Loading ...Note: I did not add the GH5 as it got announced in 2016. I added the Full frame options because we found plenty of Olympus and Panasonic patents describing FF lenses. So maybe it’s not impossible to think they could release such a camera.
Chris (Video above): ” I just released EP07 of Adventure Photography On Location. In this episode I’m taking my Olympus back to Iceland where I’m shooting a foldable Kayak floating between the slow flowing icebergs at Jökulsárlón – Glacier Lagoon.

As you may know Kai is no longer part of the Digitalrev youtube team. He is now doing his own reviews and this is his take on the new Olympus E-M1II which right today is in Stock for the first time in USA via FocusCamera (Click here). It will be in Stock after tomorrow at Amazon (Click here).
Back to Kai’s review:
His only real complain is the C-AF not working really well in video mode. Hope Olympus can fix this via firmware update. That said he is really impressed with the camera and says “this is as perfect as a MFT camera can get”. Let’s see if the GH5 can beat tkhis beast…

And our friend Chris sent us this:
I’ve spent some time shooting fast action sports (surfing) with the E-M1 Mark II and 300mm f/4 PRO + x1.4 Teleconverter (840mm full frame equivalent) over the last few days and put together a little preview/ impressions video of it.
This year’s Wired best camera for the money choice is the new Panasonic GX85. They write:
If you’re seeking the most features and flexibility for your money, Micro Four Thirds is where it’s at. While the Olympus E-M10 II is one of our favorite still cameras under a grand, the Panasonic GX85 can outdo it in many ways, particularly if you care about capturing 4K video.
If you want to stretch your dollar as far as it’ll go, the Panasonic GX85 is a solid start to your new kit. Not only is the body cheap and fully loaded, but the lenses in the Micro Four Thirds system are affordable too.
