Two Giants Leaving The Four Thirds System
Olympus and Panasonic have both been developing Micro Four Thirds Systems, but they could be leaving the Four Thirds System behind.
Two manufacturers Panasonic and Olympus heading in different directions, I think because the path is tight for giants to walk together. So someone is keep going but the other one stay still or not yet leave.
In a statement to ePHOTOzine, Fiona Gaitens from Panasonic UK said:
“If the market requirement exists there is nothing to stop us developing four thirds cameras in the future. But currently all of our resources have been concentrated on developing the Micro Four Thirds system.”
Panasonic hope to use the Micro Four Thirds system in a range of cameras and they have already announced that a follow up to the G1 will be released with a video feature.
