WOW me
WOW is in eye of beholder. Some of the manual leaked out so more likely than
not correct in the new specs. I had thought modest chance of new sensor >20
mega pickles using switchable AA filter a la Nikon or something else akin to
Pentax--need to get rid of AA for Hi res modes, but not this time. There are
some cool LCD's that become birefringent with current applied and a second
filter can undo the effects of the first--modest light loss however.

Curiously new Astro mode but hand held high res (HHHR) if enough sky is present
and class 3 Bortle or better results in a 16 image stack, and keeps the stars
sharp. (E-M1 MkIII)
Perhaps it is this, but need to wait and see:

Some highlights--stacked BSI sensor (20.4) quad Bayer---claims two stops less
noise--sensor mavens think that is optimistic.
EVF higher res. New AI based AF--cats, dogs, helicopters, steam trains, bullet
trains, standard train, birds etc----still no Yak AF or spotted
salamanders--drat--perhaps in a firmware upgrade.
New video stuff--yawn.
A tad heavier and thicker but not terribly larger--good.
Perhaps not WOW but Hmmm, interesting, Mike
