Bloomberg article from Jan. 9, 2013 mentions March 31 of 2013 as being a date of change. Do they do big changes every year on March 31st? Perhaps. Isn't that date the end of the first business quarter?
43rumors has a new post from today that is far less earth shattering than this.
I've just bought an E-M10 to partner my GX7, and a bunch of m43 glass.
Olympus will stay with m43 for about a year and after this will move into Sony E mount.
I hope that it is not true. I've just bought an E-M10 to partner my GX7, and a bunch of m43 glass.
And the value of it all will drop as hell if it is true.
A bathroom clandestine recording? That's the source? C'mon.
Source is very good as Andrea said and also match other reports that I got on Friday.
This is here is interesting: http://panasonic.net/ir/vision/pdf/20140327_vision_e.pdf Slide 5, "Eliminate Major Unprofitable Businesses ... DSC: Consolidate with camcorder business and move into new areas".

Why would anyone working for Panasonic publish such a video?
May be because he was inside toilet cubicle and no one saw him? :-)
To me this looks like viral marketing from Panasonic marketing. They have bad reputation for that.
There is no evidence whatsoever that Panasonic is increased the m43 camera and lenses sales.
And this video, what is it going to prove? Anonymous voices ... Come on, there have been many more rumours on the internet.
Why would anyone working for Panasonic (and not in marketing) publish such a video?
Andrea saidthat source told that it was made on the phone in men's room. In fact it is beginning in mid sentence, it seems like someone turned on recording after he became interested in talk content.
Wow, this is unreal. I have a hard time believing that both major manufacturers are going to work hard on the system. This sounds like best outcome to all future m43.
The audio sounds like they're in a bathhouse. all the best business transactions happen in bathhouses right?

Amazing!!!!!!!!!
I heard from some very reliable sources that Canon want to sell their mirrorless division to Panasonic.
@nomad now you will have Panasonic raw bodies instead BM for your lenses.
Thinking about buying few more GH3 bodies.
They could at least give us the codes to hack the "dead" cameras
Should I put up my genuine µFt lenses for sale? If new ones will be better and cheaper…
Wow that kind of bites. Looks like increased camera sales finally caught up to Panasonic ambitions. They probably had no choice but to make so good camera as GH4. They already have big number of pre-orders for them. And imagine if they will make G7 with GH4 sensor and ProRes and same price as G6.
I am so glad.
How hey can do it to us? I am so pleased with GH3 and now they promise something much better soon...
Can things get any better? I think not.
