PEN-F review by Dutch site Pixelmania.
Anonymous: “just for fun ;) This is what I imagined, with the help of a little photoshopping, a FourThirds 300 f4 might have looked like back in 2009. That dream never came to fruition but after 7 long years we finally have a 300 F4 for Microfourthirds! I think it has some similarities to the current lens, but I didn’t foresee the lens IS system…

JR: “I would like to share my short action-comedy miniseries shot primarily with the GH4. In particular for Episode 1, we acquired a pair of massive Fujinon Cabrio Premier PL lenses, which allowed us to execute some very fun and retro crash zooms in addition to delivering tack-sharp, quality footage.

Imaging Resource posted their Olympus Q&A. And those are some new info we got:
1) “we in the imaging division have to show a profit. So [for that reason] we focus more on our OM-D category, not on the digital compact cameras. So we are now investing less and fewer resources on compact cameras, and more focusing on the OM-D, the interchangeable-lens mirrorless cameras.” 2) In difficult times the top management where considering the reasons why they should keep the imaging business. But now “the company is much more behind the imaging business.” 3) While the system camera sales in 2015 dropped 5% (according to CIPA) Olympus managed to increase their sales by 5%. 4) PEN-F target users are enthusiasts and male. 5) Last consumer PEN was the E-Pl7 (launched 18 months ago). Olympus confirms there will be new entry-level models: “Yes, of course. Sure. As I said, the PEN line is important for us from the target user point of view.” 6) The future lens development focus is on PRO primes.
The interview contains a lot of info so be sure to take time to read it all!
Thomas asked me to post this as he needs some feedback from 43rumors readers:
I‘m Thomas from COSYSPEED and have a maybe interesting idea. We are developing a CAMSLINGER bag for outdoor active photographers, like climbers, hikers or bikers. The CAMSLINGERs are especially designed for mirrorless cameras. The first step of a „CAMSLINGER Outdoor“ prototype is currently under a field test by Swiss photographer and climber Stephan Wiesner. It would be really cool, if your readers could support us with their comments, ideas and suggestions. So we could develop the next step of prototypes using your readers comments and share the results. It would be great if you could share the video Stephan Wiesner made during a mountain tour in the Alps.
