I was waiting on this one .....
Looks interesting, nobody else seems to want to do anything with the smaller DX formats - I will watch the AF performance battles keenly.
The MFT platform has a lot of potential to really make strides with computational photography, and this at least does a bit - they really should go all in on it.
I would really like to see a much better EVF but I look forward to getting one in the hands for a bit of a look see anyway.
Anyone with any mail on the 150-400 f4.5 ? Weight ? Price ? Arrival ?
The only thing that gives me pause with Olympus is Olympus itself - I just don't know that they have the size to keep on pumping the developments out, or remain viable in this contracting market. At least the system has genuinely fast wide angle zooms etc available which is more than can be said for rival DX formats ......

The more I read the more this camera interest me. Issue is the 300 mm lens and1.4x is out of my price range. Would like to see Olympus announce the 100-400 on their roadmap. Really like the Mii when I rented it. Also looking hard a Fuji XT-3 and upcoming XT-4. Got time, my 7Dii still plugging away. Will be interest in comments of Miii and Xt-4 once they are released

How would such a combo go about focusing ? (according to the bodies protocols? - ie. primarily by Phase detect ?) .... and how does speed and accuracy compare to the homogenous native combinations ?

The one "problem" I have heard about from actual users is that the OS is either camera or lens, but that the one additional stop of stabilization you get from using same manufacturer is missing. If I was actually interested in a 300F4, I would not hesitate getting the Oly lens for my Pana body.

first impression was a shock, when i was setting the focusing mode as i like the S-AF-MF, i did not find it on the super control panel, before i started to send to all the Olympus visionaries i know, i had a look on the menu and i found it.

thanks Niels, very kind of you.
no i don't have the Pana 100-400mm, use to have the pana 100-300 mark i and ii. i got this shot with the Zuiko 300mm f4.
still i am discovering the cam, want to start doing raw, so will upload the work space and try to see how it goes.
