Anyone else find it strange that the best, most perfectest camera in the history of mankind (according to limp anon) is actually so shitty that they can't even keep the business running?

Listen, we all know you're still seething mad from being told calmly and logically that aperture crop factor doesn't exist, but you don't need to keep shitting up every thread and making new shitpost threads because you can't control your seething rage.

I guess it's inevitable. Olympus makes nice camera's and lenses. They probably won't quit the camera business the same way Samsung did. But it's clear that it's no longer profitable for them to make mft camera's.

You're better of with an RP or a A7 II with a cheap kit lens than a mft camera with an expensive lens. Even Panasonic realized that the market is shifting towards full frame camera's. Look at all the used mft and aps-c camera's that are for sale because people are switching to ff camera's. I don' t think you will be able to buy a traditional mft mirrorless camera in five years time. MFT sensors will still be used in drones and other places where small size an power consumption are an issue. But with ff camera' s becoming smaller and cheaper Olympus will have to come up with something new or shut down their camera business.

The whole original point of M43rds was small,portability and light. Many switched from Full frame due to the benefit of the size. Then Panasonic decided that the cameras and lenses should look "more pro" by making them oversized. Now everyone goes back to full frame mirrorless that are the same size as a DSLR...I do wonder why not just get a fucking DSLR.

Only thing that will survive is m43 and apsc. Everything larger will turn into high end niche merchandise with today's Leica prices. Lenses are the problem. With market shrinking, inflation, and Chonese undermining everything, nobody will be able to afford high prices on large glass.

Are you so fucking stupid that you think Panasonic is going to abandon MFT which has ~15x the revenue as their FF cameras? Do you really think Fuji is going to abandon X mount that has ~30x the revenue as G mount?

One month ago I might have thought "that's too bad." But after watching mftards shit up this board with their crap I say good riddance. I hope mft dies a swift death.

What's hilarious is that "muh perfect format!" was always a naked attempt to increase profits by reducing the cost of the most expensive piece of the camera at the time. 4/3rds was always a severe compromise for money. Now that FF sensors are delivering the readout speeds necessary for good video mft really has no reason to exist.

Buh bye....

MFT lenses usually project a smaller image circle. That way theses lenses can me made smaller. You would have to crop the images just like when using aps-c lenses on a ff camera. 7mm will still be 7mm but the projected image circle can't fully cover an aps-c sensor or ff sensor, the resulting image will be the same as one a mft camera and will not be ultra wide angle. The pixel resolution could be lower the same or higher depending on the camera.

Maybe when film was still a thing in the 2000's, but now that it's presumed every consumer has a crop sensor, FF lines are better than ever.
They relegated the crap to the APS-C lines and even that's changing with things like the EF-M mount.
Soon, any ILC lens will be decent because all the poorfags or those that don't want to spend any money on photography will just use their phone.

They're not in trouble, and they're definitely not shutting down their imaging division. Their financials are directly in line with the projections from 2 years ago when they began the shut down of their Shenzhen factory and began the move to Viet Nam. You'd think if they were in trouble their shareholder report wouldn't say "This is exactly what we expected, everything looks normal according to our previous projections" which is what it said.

If they were in trouble, their recent shareholders report would say something like "We completely misjudged the market and have been abysmally slow to adapt. We also completely botched the launch of our new flagship camera line."

Which is what Nikon's said. That's what a company in trouble sounds like. Not Olympus.
