4:2:0 internal in 2020?

LOL.

Looks nice enough. I guess. Would have made a splash a few years ago. Anything without great AF is a dead man walking IMO.

What is the draw of this camera? Price? Form factor? Only m43 offering?

LOL.

That's a misprint, right? I hope so.

In inches, the rumor puts this camera at about 3.6x3.6x3 inches. It really is a little box camera. Maybe aimed at security, PZT, webcam, YouTube, and gimbal use?
There's more discussion of the rumor here: https://www.43rumors.com/leaked-spec...h1-mft-camera/

And from the same site a few days ago, Will Panasonic transform their MFT product line to focus on vloggers? I'm guessing many of us drop by that site once in a while, but in case you missed it...

Me, I'd love to see Panasonic announce and ship an EVA2, GH6, and CX350a soon. No idea if that'll happen...
