Image processing chain. Autofocus, internal fab work, etc.

Actually, the sensor is more shared than you'd think. I believe the
pipeline is the same. Along with that, there is a lot of internal
cross-licensing of stuff that actually matters. Both companies are
benefiting. Not sure where Panasonic stands in all this.

The general form-factor of the A7 has the appearance of being vastly
different than the E-M1, the dimensions are nearly identical. If it
wasn't for the fact that an OM adapter already exists, it would just
take a mount change and a little bit of firmware work to reassign some
buttons and switches and you've got yourself an OM-7Mg.

Anyway, I've said too much.
