Here are some more key info from the Panasonic interview at Imaging Resource.
1) The Panasonic GM1 is selling well in Asia and…France(!). Apparently French people likes the camera because it’s very “fashionable”. In Germany it is not so popular. Germans prefer the GH while UK prefers the G line. The GM1 is not doing well in USA. And it’s mostly used as second camera for professionals.
2) Resources are now spent to create small GM lenses and videofocused GH lenses. Example: The Nocticron 42,5mm lens has been developed with the GH4 in mind.
3) DFD focusing: The basic accuracy of the purely-DFD (Depth From Defocus) part of the cycle is very equivalent to what typical phase detect systems achieve currently. Sadly this doesn’t work with Olympus lenses as Olympus does not have such data in their lens, so we can’t understand about the bokeh level.
4) Panasonic decided to not offer on sensor phase detection pixels because it has some downsides. That allows Panasonic that with 4K data going through, you don’t have time to swap-out or compensate for individual pixels with lower output.
5) Depth From Defocus (DFD) could find his way in future cheaper cameras too. But it cannot be installed on current and older MFT models ia firmware update because you need a different structure of the LSI.
The soon to be announced LX8 will have a built-in evf like the current LF1 you see on the picture above.
The Panasonic LX8 is supposed to be announced on July 16. And as we know it will have a larger (1 inch?) sensor and a built-in EVF. It also will keep the current LX7 look. And now latest rumors say it will have 4K video too and get at $799 price tag (same as the Sony RX100M3).

Egami spotted a new Olympus patent describing a Lens Reversing Ring you can put on front of your MFT lens (just like a filter). This will allow you to shoot macros on all(?) MFT lenses. Something similar has been already be made by Nikon with the Nikon BR-2A. But the Olympus patent describes a more high quality variation that should get rid of the issues coming along such an adapter (chromatic aberrations and so on).
Don’t know if this is something I would buy but I am not a macro shooter :)
