How would you rate the MFT market position today?
#5
Oh well, I am still on the original E-M10.  Am currently contemplating whether or not to upgrade to an OM-5 or E-M10 MK IV.  Have a few mFT lenses and don't see the point in starting over with a new system, despite having a soft spot for Fuji.  I can get good A3 prints from a 16MP mFT sensor.  How big do you want to print?  

Regarding the E-M10 MK V, you might want to read https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/20...y-90-macro .  David seems to be told that the E-M10 line has hit the end of the road.   There is not much market left regarding "entry level kit".

Regarding the lenses line up, what is missing?  Olympus was early regarding the move from DSLR to mirror less.  They have a pretty complete line up of lenses.   What is missing?  Most primes are available in two speeds and most zooms in "normal" and "pro".  I am honestly wondering whether the key sales driver in Canon and Nikon land is "removing the mirror" - finally.  Upgrading folks from SLR to mirror less.   Olympus earned that money years ago.

I find in Chris Niccolls' video review of the OM-5 the sections around 11 minutes and around 12 minutes quite interesting: https://youtu.be/J-pvQ5VKQZM?t=661, https://youtu.be/J-pvQ5VKQZM?t=738 "It is a fun camera to use", despite his criticism.  Looking at Klaus's recently reviewed 50/1.4 full frame monsters: I just don't see how you can put these monsters into the face of a person you want to photograph.  

I recently asked here, and a few members came forward that they use mFT as a second system.

Regarding lens tests, there is a bit of a back-log by now regarding lenses you haven't reviewed yet: the 20/1.4, the 90 macro, the 40-150/4 to name a few.  Regarding 16 to 20 MP, that is the same as 4 and 5 MP, which mattered quite a bit at the time, when these were "top specs".   Have you ever tried to use the high resolution mode of an Olympus body for your needs?  As others said, in the end is up to you how you spent your time.
enjoy
