      Well, OMD (previously Olympus) is teasing its new "wow" camera too. It will likely be revealed at the Japanese photo show CP+ in late February. Presuming it's the same MFT sensor as Panasonic's ...

        And it's supposed to be priced at $2,000. As is GH-6. And for $500 more one can get A7IV or R6.

          If you're starting from scratch, that's likely ideal - but if you want a small sensor to use with any lenses you may already have, you'd rather save $500.

            if you have a purpose that benefits from a smaller sensor, the savings are just a cherry on top

              The purpose has to be met with the adequate performance for its price and Olympus/OMD have not been meeting that requirement for the last few years. 16/20 MPX sensors work fine for video but are obsolete for the stills corner of the market.

              A Quad-Bayer sensor - if there's only one to be shared between OMD and Panasonic - could rectify the problem. But then it won't be the previously announced GH-6 data collector and, if it's a higher res one, then OMD would really have to cripple its video performance via codecs, crops, line skipping/ pixel binning, etc.

                Gossip has Olympus/OMD with a 24 MPX sensor. If it has a quick/self-correcting pixel-shifting mode - i.e., without "smudgy" artifacts - it could be a decent stills camera.

                If GH-6 has the same sensor as OMD, then it will offer an 6K-into-4K image similar to S1H in an MFT mount and for significantly less.

                Additional features for either camera are unknown.

                  I think it may surpass the S1H in certain cases (other than sensor size).

                    Which, technically, would be enough for 2022. The remaining questions in terms of the ready-to-shoot package are the auto focus, codec, IBIS, et cetera.

                    I still think that the significant portion of their target market has moved on from the MFT but the camera itself could sufficient for all sorts of scenarios.

                      Im not sure pixel-shifting is used by anyone for anything other than still lifes and possibly landscape

                        And architectural. But landscape is where you may want the extra reach. And, if it's without artifacts a la S1R, then it can be used for BiF too. Or even portraits.

                              seems more market hype than anything useful. I've seen Tony & Chelsea and other users try to use it and have never heard anything positive.

                                Supposedly Panasonic does a much better job with it than other companies, according to testers like Lloyd Chambers. But I've still never heard of it being used professionally
