Maybe I did not use search function properly but I don't see any comment on this new M43 Sony sensor:

Did I miss it?
Or just close shop, as Samsung did with cameras and LG with phones.
Japanese Blog DC.life claims it’s nearly impossible for Panasonic to sell the camera business even if they wanted it. No other camera manufacturer would even consider to spend money on an acquisition. The solution for Panasonic is to simply cut costs and/or to expand into other business like drones and security.

Panasonic might exit consumer camera business in october:
Panasonic will carry out a “organizational reorganization” in October. “Panasonic Entertainment & Communication”, which is in charge of TVs and digital cameras, has been removed from Panasonic Corporation, which is in charge of home appliances and electrical materials. Being removed from the mainstream maintenance “Great Panasonic” is almost as if it was branded as a non-core business.
Panasonic’s camera market share is currently around 4.4%, and the number of cameras is around 390,000, which makes it lacking in presence. Competitors with similar shares are all in the red, and Panasonic’s digital camera business is also likely to be suffering from low profits.
Dreams, more dreams.
Nope. I have an old GoPro5 Black and the latest android app named Quick. I have live preview during recording and preview of recorded clips.
Recall that certain features of functionality between camera and app is patented by Contour IP Holdings.
Thus the latest version of the GoPro app does not have live video preview during recording and no adjustable ProTune settings in the app.
