Newsy Moose
Seems that they have officially given up on the E-M5 mk 1.
That seems to me, by implication, unnecessarily judgmental. Just what do you mean "officially given up on"? It's been
replaced by a new model. What's more official than that?. Any being sold are new old stock, being sold off at discounts.
So sure, it's as much old news to the firmware developers as the E-1.
1. I can't imagine any makers spending money on firmware updates that add new functionality to cameras, as opposed to
error fixes, for superseded models.
2. It's possible, even likely, that at least some of the added functions could
not be done with the older hardware.
3. I've been amazed at Oly's prior firmware updates that have added functionality to existing models, as well as at
these. They could easily save it for the next models.
I don't pay attention, but suspect Oly is much better than average in this
regard.
Happy Apologist Moose
