[/shoplink] Bad news folks! There will be no new GF camera from Panasonic at Photokina. Three sources contacted me and said the new Panasonic GF2 will be announced in February 2011 only. All three told me the Panasonic GF2 is expected to be a very compact model like the Sony NEX-5 but with much better ergonomy and usability.

To compete against the Sony NEX and the future Samsung NX100 cameras Panasonic will lower the price of the current [shoplink 14828]Panasonic GF1[/shoplink] kits.

More Panasonic rumors will follow during the next days. We expect Panaosnic to announce the new products on September 21. Olympus will announce the E-5 on September 14.

The Noktor 50mm f/0.95 is out of Stock on their official website (Noktor.com). But if you want that lens you can get it on [shoplink 15629 ebay]eBay right now (Click here)[/shoplink]! I own the lens and I posted some image samples here and here. A short video made with the lens is available here. The lens fits on your MicroFourThirds camera without the need of any adapter. What’s my opinion about the lens? In short, don’t expect sharp images at 0.95. But I like the soft creamy results, and the lens is sharp enough when shooting videos.

Check out the auction on eBay: [shoplink 15629 ebay]Noktor 50mm f/0.95 (Item location: Edmonton, AB, Canada)[/shoplink]

Look for the epxensive but very good [shoplink 14972 ebay]Canon 50mm f/0.95[/shoplink] if you absolutely need a good image quality wide open!
