Olympus going backwards at full speed. Takes a lot of guts to do that. Kudos to management.

Yeah, it's M4/3.
Intriguing camera. Olympus are a bit doomed with micro 4/3 but really do pull out all the stops. I’ve two Olympus cameras and the lens are great. User interface is terrible on my cameras but newer ones are better. Everything is so much smaller even though this one is a bit more sizable. It’s very expensive for a micro 4/3 camera. I think they will struggle to sell it. Reviews will be interesting. I have a soft spot for Olympus. They are the David versus Goliath in the camera world. They are pushing technology to the max but are hampered by the sensor size. Maybe they can convince buyers small is beautiful but unfortunately it’s also not cheap.Yes ... and when I look at the topic title is reminds me of when people name their Chihuahua "Killer" .. lol
I'll be waiting for the closeout sale.Intriguing camera. Olympus are a bit doomed with micro 4/3 but really do pull out all the stops. I’ve two Olympus cameras and the lens are great.

It’s called the Panasonic S series with an L mount. Seriously, I think Panasonic has seen the writing on the wall.If Olympus were to take this technology and mate it to a FF sensor, and then give it the Canon R mount, I’d buy one......
Have you ever actually shot m43? While I readily admit it's not hard to pixel peep and see the differences between m43 and FF, I've never had a client or editor tell me your points #2 - #4. Nor can they tell me which camera system I happened to use unless they saw me shooting. As I get older, weight means a lot to me. I loved medium format for years, but gave it up when I felt FF was sufficient for my use. Now I'm trending toward more use of m43, but I'm not dumping my Canon stuff... not yet anyway. Who knows, maybe the EOS R and RF lenses will prove light enough to keep me in the fold!
As one with both, in good light there is no real difference. They both take images that are good enough for reports. In poor light, yes, the 6D wipes the floor with the Oly, but outdoors the Oly is king. It's not just me either, when people need a camera they usually grab the Oly because of the size.Have you ever actually shot m43?

Maybe you should try a modern OlympusLipstick on a pig. This time they put sparkly lipstick.
1. Its micro 4/3, can't complete with a larger sensor.
2. the bokeh is absolutely horrible, like out of a cell phone.
3. colors are bad
4. noise performance is just horrible.
need I say more?

That's easy for you to say. I made the mistake of letting kids name the cat, and ended up with "Princess Fluffy Molly Marshmallow Puffhead"Leave my dog out of this!

Bokeh I find is very good. Their lens are great and sharp
Colours are very good.
Noise is fine up to about 1600 and then it can't compete with a full frame but its too be expected.
If you said they make their menu systems and touch implementation way to complicated I'd agree.
I've always thought they should have two menu systems - one for the basics and a second for the complicated stuff.
My one has a mind of its own at times.
Yes, please qualify those opinions.Lipstick on a pig. This time they put sparkly lipstick.
