The State of Micro Four Thirds
We've thought for years that compact cameras were for everyday users, and if we wanted to get a better camera to shoot better pictures, the answer would be to upgrade to a
DSLR camera. But what if that was no longer true?
Micro Four Thirds (MFT) has grown in the last three years since its inception. When compared to their mirrorless interchangeable lens competitors; Sony's E-series and
Samsung's NX-series,
MFT has the largest selection of native lenses, with third-party manufacturers like Voigtlander committing to the standard and producing stunning lenses like the 25mm f/0.95.
Besides the selection of lenses, there's the focus on increasing ease of use for the photographer. How many entry-level
DSLR cameras today come with a touch-screen? Quick and accurate AF while in Live View mode? Follow focus while shooting video with the option to touch to change focus? Panasonic's current G series cameras have these features, but most
DSLR cameras don't.
