DC.watch interviewed the Panasonic team responsible for the GM line development. Here are some of the info they shared:
– Orange GM1 sold more than expected. Green Gm5 will be sold in Asia only. Red Gm cameras are attractive for the female photographers group.
– Panasonic acknowledges people also wants a new GF camera.
– 4K recording on GM5 is not possible because the camera would have to be larger and also power consumption would overheat the circuitry.
– With current technology 4K can fit only in a camera as small as the LX100
– we will “endeavor” to make a GX7 successor :)
