Olympus XZ-1

[shoplink 25449 ebay]Black XZ-1[/shoplink] [shoplink 25490 ebay]White XZ-1[/shoplink]

UPDATE: Good news folks! You can preorder the new 14-42mm X lens for $349 only at Adorama (Click here). That’s $50 less than you pay at Amazon (Click here) or BHphoto (Click here). That’s a quite good price for the new high quality lens with powerzoom and with that incredibly tiny size.

Now the only question is. When will that lens be in Stock? BH says the arrival is October but if Panasonic is going to mess it like it did with the [shoplink 23110]Leica 25mm standard lens[/shoplink] than we will have to wait at least a couple until November :(

The smallest of all new Olympus PEN cameras is in Stock in US stores:

Black E-PM1 at Amazon (Click here). And the Silver E-PM1 at BHphoto (Click here) and J&R (Click here).

Many of are asking where you can find the Olympus 45mm and Panasonic 25mm in Stock. In US both lenses are unavailable but I have been told by US and European dealers that they will be in Stock within the next days. In Europe some stores do have the Panasonic Leica lens.

[shoplink 15659 ebay][/shoplink]

Exactly one year ago Voigtländer announced the amazing [shoplink 15659 ebay]Nokton 25mm f/0.95[/shoplink] lens. And now we noticed the very first price drops on the Nokton. The normal price in Europe was 899 Euro and in US $1,199.00. But now there are considerable price drops on the lens. Probably because there are now plenty of them in Stock. The price dropped by 100 and sometimes 150 Euro!

Here are the current top prices (Click on the shopname to see the products page):
590 Euro at BHphoto (that’s without taxes).
714 Euro at [shoplink 25374 ebay]Photo Video on eBay (France)[/shoplink].
729 Euro at [shoplink 25375 ebay]SC Photo on eBay (Hong Kong)[/shoplink]. (Attention, you have to pay import taxes!).

[shoplink 25246 ebay][/shoplink] If you are in absolute need of speed than Micro Four Thirds is the right system for you :) You not only have the [shoplink 15659 ebay]Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 (Click here to see it on eBay)[/shoplink] option but now also the Noktor 50mm f/0.95 is in Stock on eBay:
Sold by a [shoplink 25246 ebay]Hong Kong eBay reseller (Click here)[/shoplink].
Sold by a [shoplink 25247 ebay]US eBay reseller (Click here)[/shoplink].

I have both lenses and I use them mainly for video. For that purpose both lenses are very good. For stills the [shoplink 15659 ebay]Nokton 25mm[/shoplink] has a much better and “different” kind of image quality. It’s perfect to take shot pictures from my brothers baby!
