Gary W: 10 Years With Micro Four Thirds (The Best Camera System?)

Share

Gary W writes:

I am sharing my experience and thoughts after using Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses for more than 10 years. I started with Panasonic Lumix GX7 after switching from Canon DSLR, and now I have more than 5 Micro 4/3 cameras with a whole bunch of Micro Four Thirds lenses, from both Panasonic Lumix and Olympus or OM System. Hopefully by watching this video, you can learn from my experience of using Micro Four Thirds, the strengths and the weaknesses, and hopefully this camera system will thrive in the future.

Map Camera July sales rankings: Lumix GH7 makes it into the top 10

Share

The Japanese store Mapcamera shared the top 10 of the best selling mirrorless cameras in July

  1. Nikon Z6III
  2. FujiFilm X-T50
  3. Sony α7C II
  4. Nikon Z f
  5. Nikon Z8
  6. Canon EOS R6 Mark II
  7. Sony α7RV
  8. Sony α7IV
  9. Lumix S9
  10. Lumix GH7

Digicameinfo added a bit of context to the results (google translated):

  • The much-anticipated model “Z6III”, released on July 12th, took first place on its debut. It made a huge difference in its debut from the second place model. Despite the hectic schedule of the announcement on June 17th and the start of reservations on the 19th, an enormous number of orders were placed as soon as reservations began. There were concerns about a temporary supply shortage, but thanks to the efforts of the manufacturer, there was an abundant supply and sales numbers were able to increase. Nikon’s Z8 and Z f are still very popular. The arrival of the new model has made things even more lively.
  • In second place is the “X-T50”, which was ranked first in the previous ranking. Although there was a temporary supply disruption, it recovered quickly. Although it was left behind by the newly released Z6III, it has a strong lead over the third place and below to secure second place.
  • Coming in third was the popular “α7C II”. The cashback campaign ended in August, so it remains to be seen whether it will be able to maintain its position or whether it will be overwhelmed by the offensive of other manufacturers.
  • Coming in at number 6 was the EOS R6 Mark II. In stark contrast to Nikon, which was on the rise, Canon was in a tough situation. Meanwhile, the EOS R6 Mark II was fighting a lonely battle. The long-awaited new model will finally be released next time. Let’s hope for Canon’s comeback.
  • Two Panasonic models were ranked in 9th and 10th place. It is quite rare these days for two Panasonic models to be ranked at the same time.
