If you are tempted to take the plunge, Chris, I would recommend the Leica Q as the best all-rounder at a “reasonable” price. Read more on micro four-thirds Stefan Daniel and the end of the Leica CL What do you think? Is APS-C really in decline, or will manufacturers continue to develop the format? And what is the future for micro four-thirds? Could heavier micro four-thirds bodies and lighter full-frame bodies squeeze APS-C out of existence? Leica’s decision to pull out of APS-C last year offers support to Mr Yamaki’s belief that this format is in decline, with more photographers choosing to replace their crop-format sensors for the rapidly developing full-frame mirrorless designs. There are rumours that hybrid autofocus, recently introduced on the new Lumix S5 II, will soon be adopted for some Lumix micro four-thirds bodies. Nevertheless, there is still demand for the format, particularly in the video sector, where Panasonic Lumix has created a strong reputation. Panasonic’s GH6, shown here, is the company’s flagship offering, although in weight and size, it is almost identical to the company’s full-frame S5
Despite rumours of a decline in the micro four-thirds market, both OM-Systems and Lumix continue to develop the format and report strong demand.
