BCNranking just published the market shares grouped by brand!

Japanese Market share for compact cameras (non interchangeable lenses)

Japanese Market share for cameras with interchangeable lenses

Thanks to MicroFourThirds Panasonic gained the third place! It is also interesting to see how much Nikon lost. I didn’t expect that.

According to the official Panasonic japanese web site, the Panasonic DMC-G1 has been discontinued!

UPDATE: We already told you that a new MicroFourThirds camera should be announced at PMA by Panasonic. This maybe has to do something with the G1 beeing discontinued…

Thanks N.M. for the link!

P.S.: interesting, amazon just dropped the price of the black G1 model (which has been always more expensive than the red and blue models).

Dear readers,
in two-three weeks I will move the 43rumors content on a new and more powerful server. After that I will slowly and carefully add the new 43rumors content. That’s the new stuff I will add:

- CameraDatabase with reviews and news about every single camera
- User-reviews section. You will be able to write camera reviews and post it on 43rumors
- Photocontest
- Forum
- Photographer Database. If you are a professional Photographer shooting with Olympus and Panasonic cameras I will add your name and website to our database.

In December I tested many different softwares and wordpress plugins and I believe you will enjoy the new stuff. It is a lot of work and I am doing it alone. That’s why it will take some time until all works fine….I also have to take care of the new rumors coming

Ale
