On today’s big MFT youtube event both Panasonic and OM Digital shared their thoughts about the future of the system. Here are some key info:

OM Digital:

• We’ve tried designing an f/1.0 lens, but it’s hard to deal with the autofocus system.
• We are developing a new kind of product family
• There will be a product something worth the wait
• PEN-F didn’t sell well…but a successor isn’t excluded yet
• We will not go into the Full Frame market
• We will not join the L-mount system

Panasonic:

• We are developing both MFT cameras and lenses
• Lenses with 800+ range are being discussed internally

This new Olympus patent describes the design of a dual/quad AF sensor with AF tracking support. I am not sure if this is seomthing that will find it’s way on future OM Digital cameras….I certainly would like too!
