As much as I cannot stand the guy, Thom Hogan's latest thoughts on the M43 system do make sense!

They should never have gone large with M43 bodies, certainly not come out with larger £2000 range bodies and then massive, pricey f1.2 primes, ignoring the consumer end for too long. Pany have their FF incoming, if they are to run both, they need to stop thinking so BIG for their M43 line up. Sure, there's a juicy wide angle 10-25 f/1.7 on the way - guess what? It's HUGE! and will no doubt be expensive. What's needed for M43 to stay alive is more neat, tidy but very capable bodies, and more cheap and cheerful zooms and primes aimed at the hobbiest, not the pro.
