Rumors summary

We had many rumors and it’s time for a summary

1) By ealry July Panasonic will announce a new camera which will not be comparable with any camera released by Panasonic before. We are not talking about long awaited LX3 } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>LX3 } if ($sel != '1') {?>LX3 } ?> successor. The LX4 (or LX5) will be announced late July or before Photokina. And we are not talking about a camera with interchangeable lenses. The sources did not tell us exactly how it will look like but we from 43rumors believe it will be a MicroFourThirds camera with fixed lens (like the Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma DP2 } if ($sel != '1') {?>Sigma DP2 } ?>)

2) A bird told me that we should take a close look on this: https://43rumors.com/a-bird-told-me-you-should-look-at-those-pictures-olympus-modular-camera/

3) A Pentax patent created a lot of buzz. Why? The document shows lenses with the same 21.6mm image circle as Micro Four Thirds!

4) According to the swedish magazine Kamerabild Ricoh will release a Ricoh MicroFourThirds modul for their GXR camera in autumn!

5) DSLRphoto wrote a facebook post which says that Tamron could soon make m4/3 lenses.

6) Rumors from others: Samsung is almost ready to launch the new NX100! We found the name of the camera on the Samsung website. There is not more information, but we already know that the NX100 will be a compact camera very similar to the Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'US') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($loc == 'JA' OR $loc == 'JP') { $sel = "1"; ?>Panasonic GF1 } if ($sel != '1') {?>Panasonic GF1 } ?>!
