JIP may discontinue the low end model and focus on pro MFT gear only

A source told me this:
I have recently been told by a Olympus representative that JIP is most likely to continue developing the PRO segment of their MFT system, and possibly there will be a re-branding without the Olympus name. It is also likely that they will discontinue the volume cameras, such as the E-PL series. Non of this is officially confirmed, but it is said that they are working on a press release that will be released within approximately one month from today.
Makes sense to me….what do you think?
a bit of everything…

Ben:
I’ve just made a new video that may be of interest to your readers. It’s a long-term, practical review of the Panasonic Lumix G9 based on real-world use. I focus on how firmware 2.0 has made the camera a powerhouse for videographers, especially at it’s current price which is considerably lower than the popular GH5. What’s great about this and other MFT cameras is that they never overheat, unlike newer and much more expensive alternatives from other brands ;) I’ve also included lots of sample footage captured with the camera so people can get a good idea of it’s capabilities in the real world. youtube.com/watch?v=qlxhybrrVmE
Plenty of news on the facebook OMD group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.
