Not if no one reads his "egotistical diarrhea"!
Northrup is going to be hard to live with now.
I read somewhere that the buyer is some kind of liquidation company. In any event, the future of R&D looks bleak. Fortunately for mu43, Panasonic just released a sort of blogger camera that DPR TV didn’t like.As I said on Mu-43, this is just going from one corporate overlord, answerable to one group of investors, to another. Given that Olympus as a whole has seemed pretty unhappy with their camera division for quite a while, and the new guys actually wanted to buy it, it could actually be good news.

I can’t believe it has no IBIS. That is a great advantage of mu43 since it is easier with a small sensor. It was a pre-production model, but the comparison photos and videos against the equally new Sony zv1 weren’t even close.Meanwhile in another corner of the m4/3 world, another meltdown is brewing in the comments section: Panasonic Lumix G100 officially announced - 43 Rumors
Yeah, it is too bad it doesn't have IBIS, but the shutter is also the tiny unit from the GM1 which is still in the GX850. Space is obviously at a premium, and IBIS needs extra space.I can’t believe it has no IBIS. That is a great advantage of mu43 since it is easier with a small sensor.

Any references for this? I'm sure they are going to do some consolidation. But I haven't heard JIP being referred to as a liquidator.I read somewhere that the buyer is some kind of liquidation company. In any event, the future of R&D looks bleak.

I’ll try to remember. It might have been a comment, and thus wrong.Any references for this? I'm sure they are going to do some consolidation. But I haven't heard JIP being referred to as a liquidator.
I still plan on buying the recently released 12-45 f/4 Pro and (while not the telephoto I want) I could make do with the 100-400mm that has been rumored to be the lens registered last week. On a plus side if there aren't any new bodies I can keep using LR 6.14 and not have to worry about finding something new.
I read it on a thread over on the mu43 forum. For some reason the link won't work. I googled JIP and it appears they buy pieces of others companies, like Sony's Vaio laptop division, and tires to make money with them. That's better than I thought. OTOH, the R&D budget for this new company will probably be considerably smaller than Olympus.Any references for this? I'm sure they are going to do some consolidation.
