New m.43 camera and it's probably no maker you've ever heard of.

Neat camera. Has android operating system, 20 mp sensor, 8 mp front camera (I can't find it in the pics but supposedly can take 8mp pics without a lens?) and a 5 inch lcd screen (no eye level EVF). Can do 1080 p video, and interface directly with the web. It's a cross from an android phone and a camera. No built in flash, but an LED instead like your phone.

It's the second model from this maker so unlike the Alice camera it's not vapor ware.

Cheap too, at $600 US with a 'standard' prime lens.

Read the article, it's interesting.

4. the maker is fairly well known...

i used to use yongnuo speedlights. really good quality and budget friendly. i switched over to godox, though.

i saw this story but haven't read it yet. i assume the camera uses the same lens mount as olympus/panasonic.

i really like the M43 format even though i shoot full frame and APS-C....i have a lumix G9 and it takes awesome photos. i'm glad to see some other makers adopt the platform.
