  "account": "GoPro, the action camera brand, has recently drawn attention away from its financial struggles by merging with Micro Four Thirds, an imaging system. This partnership, confirmed by OM Digital Solutions, brings GoPro into the fold of the Micro Four Thirds System Standard Group. This is especially noteworthy as GoPro released a trio of professional-grade cameras - the Mission 1, Pro, and Pro ILS - with the latter being a mirrorless camera featuring an MFT lens mount. Though initially limited to manual lenses, the potential for greater compatibility with AF lenses, particularly from Olympus, OM System, and Panasonic, could significantly enhance the camera's appeal. While the current Mission 1 Pro ILS model is already a step forward by supporting manual focus lenses, adapters, and vintage lenses, a true Micro Four Thirds system camera with electrical contacts would fully harness the benefits of joining the group. This includes the ability to utilize a wide range of lenses, thereby boosting the ecosystem for amateur filmmaking, professional video production, and cinema.",

So, it’s surely now time to make a REAL MFT camera with electrical contacts, to broaden creative and commercial potential The post GoPro officially joins Micro Four Thirds – is it about to make a true MFT camera? appeared first on Amateur Photographer .",
