On this day 16 years ago Panasonic announced their first MFT camera

As noticed by Dpreview 16 years ago Panasonic announced their first MFT camera. It was the G1. The Key Features were:

• 12.1 Megapixels
• Micro Four Thirds Lens System
• 3″ Free-angle LCD Display & EVF
• Full-time Live View with Contrast AF
• Compact Camera Body & Lenses
• Self Cleaning Sensor
• High Sensitivity (ISO 3200)
• Intelligent Auto Mode
• Creative Color Modes
• HDTV Output

16 years after we Panasonic is still in the MFT business and launched great cameras like G9II and GH7. The question is: Where will the market be in 16 years’ time? Will smartphones have destroyed the camera market for good? Or will AI conquer the world and kill us all? :)
