Olympus has always built cameras that make working photographers and classical film photographers happy and it shows in the feedback. I love the feel of shooting Leica and Fujifilm cameras, but Olympus manages to make their cameras accessible to everyone in my experience.
Xiao Yi M1 Master Guide
Young Innovators released a video demo of the master guide system for the Yi M1 that mirrorlessons mentioned. The video gives you a slightly better look at how the system helps beginners compose photographs. Young Innovators also released a marketing video using their action cameras, which is included after the break.

DigitalRev Goes Hands-on With The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II
“Just when you thought m43 had nothing new… They go and do this… This is a serious alternative to a DSLR full frame… Not even a Canon 1DX can shoot this fast.”
Panasonic GH4 vs GX85
The Panasonic GH4 has been the gold standard for m43 video for a while now, but the IBIS in the GX85 makes it a far better value for videographers until the Panasonic GH5 comes out. Both cameras have very similar video quality and were locked together using a Fhugen cage using the Panasonic 25mm f1.7 lens at ISO 400 1/50th shutter speed. I would imagine the new Panasonic G85 performs similarly or better than the GX85. It seem the GH4 could use a price drop before the GH5 come out.
