(FT3) Two more Olympus MicroFourThirds cameras and first prime lenses during second half of the year

Share

According to our sources Olympus is already working on two new MicroFourThirds cameras.  The first camera to be released should be a PEN and the second camera should be the long awaited very high-end MicroFourThirds model. Both will be announced within the year. The High-End model will arrive later (and Photokina fits perfectly for such a camera announcement).

A new High-End PEN makes sense because the newly announced Olympus E-PL1 is stealing the show of the E-P1 and E-P2.

According to our sources also new prime lenses should come by late 2010. Probably the 50mm (f/2.0 ?) lens will be the first of the series.

One more thing about Panasonic. We are certain Panasonic will launch the GH2 on Photokina but we have no information about the GF2. One new source told us that Panasonic is planning to release the GF2 months after Photokina. But this is a unreliable rumor. I hope one of my trusted sources can tell me more :)

43rumors and mirrorless

Share

Dear readers,

Yesterday I asked you to give your opinion on the need to cover the rumors from more brands with mirrorless camera systems.

As you understood from my comments it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to “expand” 43rumors coverage on other brands. I started 43rumors I wanted to have a place for FourThirds-MicroFourThirds only.

But I have been surprised to see how many people need a place for general mirrorless rumors and news. So my idea is to create a new mirrorlessrumors.com website and comunity! The website should not only contain the unique rumors from our sources but also become a dynamic network with people sharing reviews, comparisons and tests.

What do you think?

Olympus E-PL1 tests here and there…

Let’s start the new week with the list of all new Olympus E-PL1 reviews:
1) The video above is from digitalrev. I like the fact that they made a “on street” review.
2) Kirk Tuck also tested the camera
3) Crunchgear posted their short review (probably a to short review to become interesting for you)
4) Unlike Cruchgear the hungarian website pixinfo.com posted a very detailled review! It is definitely worthy to play around with their dynamic graphs :)
5) And finally the japanese website trendy.nikkei made a E-PL1 vs GF1 vs E-P1 comparison

If after reading all these reviews you are ready to buy your E-PL1 use one of our affiliate links :)
