3 years ago |Hi Admin, looking forward to the announcement! I’m in Britain, and am just wondering if for me it’s 8 a.m. GMT or 8 a.m. British Summer Time (GMT+1)?

3 years ago |khmm… this is a rumor site, right? how come the full specs haven’t leaked less than a DAY before the announcement? admin, for one you shouldn’t be respecting NDAs…
admin
3 years ago |First, I have no NDA, second the specs are only marginal different from the G3. The only big difference is FullHD recording, new design and 16 Megapixel sensor. Stop

3 years ago |+ new evf etc. yepp, these are the details (along with photos) that should have been online weeks ago
, but I am in fact only teasing you (well, sort of). Anyway, we will find out soon enough.. 
admin

Don’t make us wait too long!
Keep up the good work.
admin
3 years ago |No I will not let you wait long time. I will write a “general” post soon. I know more than I will publish but I need the info to double check the rumors. Anyway it’s a VERY good news and not a mid or long term rumors. It’s about new stuff coming very soon!

This is a rumour site…tell us everything you know!
admin
3 years ago |It’s not that I wan’t to make you suffer. I use the info I have to check if other rumors I received are correct. Plus I need to double and triple check the info to be sure how I can rank the rumor. If I would publish everything I do receive you would get confused.

3 years ago |Come on admin – give us a clue! I think you should post it today before all the G3 release news starts.
Thanks for all your work admin.
AndyOz
3 years ago |Give us a clue – is it one of the following:
1. A new company joining Micro43
2. Olympus coming out with a built in EVF in rangefinder style
3. Panasonic coming out with an L1/LC1 styled body which is the big August surprise
Thanks

3 years ago |Hallo admin,
lass dich nicht treiben. Ich finde es gut, wenn du die Informationen gegencheckst und nicht alles ungefiltert raus gibst.
Ob eine Info einen Tag später oder früher kommt ist doch meistens egal. Wichtig ist die Qualität der Information!

3 years ago |System camera costs for body and a medium-fast normal lens looks like this in UK pounds (including import and shipping costs) from Digital Rev:
Canon 60D + 28mm f1.8 = £1155.89 (44mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Canon 7D + 28mm f1.8 = £1578.89 (44mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Canon 5DII + 50mm f1.8 = £1964.30 (50mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Nikon D7000 + 35mm f1.8 = £1091.93 (50mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Nikon D5100 + 35mm f1.8 = £774.11 (50mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Panasonic GH2 + 20mm f1.7 = £1126.58 (40mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Panasonic G2 + 20mm f1.7 = £826.02 (40mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Leica M9 + 50mm f2.0 Summicron = £7214.74 (50mm 135 equivalent focal length)
Based on these prices the D7000 with the 35mm DX f1.8 is probably the best camera to go for if you want a system camera with a prime normal lens.
Do Leica have dirt on all these other camera manufacturers or some kind of non competition agreement because it seems insane that all Japanese camera makers are just competing with each other when there is a huge demand for a similar camera to an M9 and the margins to play within are massive.
The first company to do an M9 type camera in the 5DII or less price range is going to clean up.

3 years ago |oh dear, cant wait to get those infos admin!
Aber guten Appetit schonmal
EVF same as in die GH2. mhm. that would be nice. I really hope DR is kinda better then its now for the 12MP sensor, and on par with at least Canon’s APS-C DSLRs.
But i bet its just dreaming here :/
