These are top features to pay top price for.
But Tony Northrup said that micro 43rds was DEAD. Didn’t Sharp see his Video? Tell Sharp they can’t do this, Northrup wrote a book and everything. Even his wife is an expert in all things photography. Hell, I think even his Dog is an Expert Photographer!!!
