Yesterday Sony reported that it will have to keep closed their Kumamoto image sensor production facility at least til End of May. The factory produces image sensor for digital cameras. This includes many Olympus and Panasonic cameras of the present and of the future. The E-M1II (and maybe the GH5?) is rumored to feature such a Sony 20MP sensor too.
I expect that some of the future Panasonic and Olympus cameras announcement and/or shipment may be delayed. Nikon already reported that id had to delay the Nikon DL camera shipment.

Richard Wong (Click here) published the full Leica 100-400mm lens review:
The Panasonic 100-400 really highlights one of the strength of the micro four thirds system. A lens with insanely long effective focal length but with reasonably compact size. The build quality and image quality of the lens are decent and I really like the dual lens hood and lockable focal length design. Not to mention that the really fast autofocus speed and good O.I.S. /dual I.S. performance. I do wish the integrated lens hood is a little bit longer so I don’t need to touch the detachable lens hood most of the time. But the only thing I don’t really like is the tripod collar can only be rotated by 90 degree so you do have to remove it when shooting handheld. The smallish f/4-6.3 aperture size also limits the low light performance (both autofocus speed and image quality).
