CIPA reports very bad February sales. Expect March sales to be a lot worse :(

As expected February sales were lower compared to the previous year. And I do expect march 2020 to show devastating numbers because of the Covid19 outbreak forced production stop.

Photographyblog posted the full E-M1III review and concludes:
In summary, we applauded the previous Mark II version as a big step forwards for both Olympus and Micro Four Thirds in general, but the new Mark III is a more conservative release that isn’t really going to expand the system’s appeal beyond Olympus’ loyal user-base.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is still a very good camera, especially if you value portability and the incredible IBIS system, but we’re not sure that it offers quite enough to tempt either upgraders or new owners to invest when there are several more enticing options available at a similar price.
Yep, the E-M1III is surely a capable camera but not a major step forward compared to the E-M1II.
