Plenty of news on the facebook OMD group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

The CPplus show is accepting registration for the various events to be held in late February. One of the events is organized by OM Digital and they say that they will finally “talk about the future of OM-D”.

I hope they will have some new products to show like the PEN-FII. And a new lens roadmap would be nice too :)
