Google trends: Olympus and Panasonic

Panasonic GF1 review by Richard Lawrence

Tilt lens adapter for MicroFourThirds!
(FT4) HOT! Panasonic GF2 with Built-in EVF?
(FT3) Olympus E-460 coming soon? DxO Optics pro software leak(FT4) Panasonic camera announcement soon…
In less than two weeks Panasonic will make some announcements.
There is a 50% chance that they will show us the LX4 (with bigger sensor and non interchangeable lenses)
There is 40% chance that they will pre-announce the next compact M4/3 camera ((with EVF and no in Body IS)
There is 10% chance that both will happen (LX4 and MFT pre-announce)
That’s what 43rumors believes after a smalltalk with all sources.
P.S.: Sorry for the little confusion. At least you know that something BIG from Panasonic should be announced soon. The summer isn’t that boring now …for Panasonic folks 
Any news about an FZ28 placement? August would be a good time to announce it. (I know it is not a 43 sensor, but neither would like be an LX4, so I thought my question would not be too too far off topic

Hi Peter!
I am tring to figure out what’s coming next…
The day Panasonic decided to fix their cameras so that they would only work with Panasonic batteries was the same day Panasonic decided they never wanted to get any money from me. I don’t care if they make my ‘perfect’ camera. I will never buy one of their cameras and just for extra laughs, I will never buy any of their batteries either.
With my rational part I am with you at 100%…but damn the emotional part is hard to beat
Hopefully they’ll announce that they’ve fixed all their manufacturing and distribution problems and that we can actually purchase the GH1 and LX3.
All in all, how have these companies compared historically when it comes to final image quality? I have had a Panasonic video camera, and while it’s excellent in daylight, the colors wash out as light gets more and more scarce. The images I’ve seen from the E-P1 seem to hold up better in the color quality department. I know I am just asking for speculation, but please help me out. Is Panasonic worth the wait, or comparable at best? Again, as far as image quality only, the viewfinder, flash etc parts are much easier to sort out as a matter of preference.
PS… this is perfect timing, I just placed my E-P1 order recently!
Don’t worry David for every person like you there is someone like me who will move to Panasonic dumping their large Canon camera. I have no problem buying Panasonic battery. Leave the door open on the way out as I am coming in to the Panasonic fold.

shouldn’t it be 20% = 50% * 40% chance that both will happen?
no body IS, sign~~~
