Yes, that is what I'm referring to in public.
A philosophical question for you: If the evidence shows that there is
a dramatic product improvement coming that effectively obsoletes the
current product with an improved focusing technology that will make
the current product appear to be a total dog, is that product
currently a total dog?
An argument could be made that since something is "the best available
right now" doesn't necessarily make it good. Take the subject of
"Tracking AF". It's pretty much a given that it's nearly unusable in
the E-M5. As there isn't anything better in m43 mount, does that make
it good? No. If it stinks, it stinks. Olympus KNOWS that it stinks,
too.
Shall we discuss battery life? No, let's not.
The point I was making is that if you want a certain level of reliable
performance, there is still no substitute for running the native
lenses on the native matched technology. I know that, Olympus
definitely knows that, next products will help that.
