Merry Christmas!

Jumping in the desert during my China-Mongolia trip in September 2009

I have such a lot to say and I don’t know how to say it.
It has been amazing for me to see how well 43rumors works. I made so many friends trough it, I learned a lot about things I didn’t know before, I didn’t sleep many nights, I went desperated few times, but loved to work and write for you.

You don’t know me and I don’t know most of you. But I really wish you all the best. I wish you a relaxing time with your family and well-deserved rest from your work and daily stress. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Press release:
Panasonic is pleased to announce that its award winning DMC-GH1 interchangeable lens camera will be available to purchase as body only – offering Micro Four Thirds Lens owners a cost effective solution to using the DMC-GH1.

The DMC-GH1 is a digital interchangeable lens camera system that delivers professional-level features and performance

Continuous AF can be used while recording movies, to further boost operating. Compatible with the Micro Four Thirds System standard, the DMC-GH1 can be partnered with the many Micro Four Thirds Lenses available to offer your preferred shooting experience[2]. To further add to its appeal, thanks to the selection of mount adapters, many different lens system users can now enjoy the DMC-GH1.
