Not bad at all if you consider that the Olympus E-P1 is half the price of the Canon EOS 7D

That’s a lot cheaper than the Panasonic GH1 and I don’t know if we should expect a GH1 price drop soon (we already had a -$250 price drop in amazon US)
In the meanwhile dpreview posted some new NX-10 images. Try to compare it with the images taken with the Olympus E-P1. Let me know what your first impressions are!

UPDATE:
Where does the NX-10 lack against the Panasonic GH1
?

It has no 50/60p and no 1080 recording.
Sound is mono only.
AF doesn’t work in video mode. UPDATE: This is wrong, AF works!
No swivel LCD.
And no video optimazied lenses.

P.S.: The Panasonic 14-140mm f/4.0-5.8 OIS Micro Four Thirds Lens is in Stock at amazon.

K-rumors.com]]> http://43rumors.com/some-more-samsung-nx-10-details/feed/ 11 Olympus E-P1 is the most popular camera in Japan (but not the most sold) http://43rumors.com/olympus-e-p1-is-the-most-popular-camera-in-japan-but-not-the-most-sold/ http://43rumors.com/olympus-e-p1-is-the-most-popular-camera-in-japan-but-not-the-most-sold/#comments Sun, 27 Dec 2009 13:13:10 +0000 admin http://43rumors.com/?p=8911

The japanese very popular website DC.watch.impress asked their readers to vote the best camera of the year. These are the results:

1. E-P1
2. 7D
3. K-7
4. GF1
5. K-x
6. D3s
7. GXR
8. E-P2
9. D300s
10. GH1

But real japanese sales rankings do show a different story. Take a look at the November 2009 sales rankings: http://bcnranking.jp/category/subcategory_0008_month.html.

Interesting or not? It seems that a lot of people like the “concept” of MicroFourThirds cameras but not so many of them are buying it…
