43 Rumors

> D600 for $1,500

D600 was already released/is already retailing???

Or you were just dreaming?

> But the price is still in silly land.

And it will remain in the “silly land” for as long as the lens remains the only 2.8/24-70 analog for m43.

> A bit on the heavy side

305g lens is now heavy???

Sweet. Lots of glass. That’s what I call a zoom lens.

Any word on IQ?

+1

Neither DPR nor imaging-resource.com has yet posted GF5′s studio IQ test.

> such as stage photography

That answers my question what the 75mm is needed for. Haven’t been to theater/concert/etc for ages.

Any thought (comparison from comment above) about the Oly 1.8/75mm vs. Panny 2.8/35-100mm?

Sorry for that. Forgot my copy of “Trolling for Dummies” at office.

But just give me a sec – I’ll copy-paste some FF equivalency trolling from other threads!

That’s official now: Olympus admits that its m43 is as good as paperweight.

> That’s why KISS principle is applied always when reliability is of high importance. Esa, E-M5 is hardly KISS. I also do not like apps in general. In some isolated cases I even deeply hate them. But Oly with the E-M5 reached the point where one simply contain all the desired features in single firmware. [...]

> It is weird that management already thinks about apps in cameras, when they even fail to do their own homework. The point is that management can’t know that function important to you is buried 6 clicks away in the FW. And that the whole point of downloadable, user created apps: somebody could create an [...]

> I’m sceptical about apps on cameras… only if they manage to not overload the user interface and stuff. Actually, I have seen practical examples of just that: apps off-loading the UI. The standard UI implements bare basics. And the gaps are filled with apps, often provided by the manufacturer itself, tailored for different modes [...]

> What possibly the G5 could give that G3 can’t,

Orientation sensor?
EVF auto-switch?
Larger EVF?
Optional grip/battery grip?
Updated touch UI?
Better battery life?

There is more to a digital camera than the IQ.

People are disoriented. > Although that is likely, why haven’t we heard any more about the G5 specs by now or how it will compare with the E-M5? +1. The silence is suspicious. But [...]

If this is your math, then you just got yourself a nice ‘F’.

Hint: f-number is a ratio.

Or, being a member of religious order of equivalency, stop pretending that you know math

I wonder what precisely GH2 misses compared to OM-D.

Why this sudden love with the E-M5? What feature/combination of features makes it so special?

-100.

Yeah, right. Germany people has to come and fix it for you.

> the “Normal” people has to suffer a lot My impression from reading the German press was that Greeks really are lazy bunch. What they suffer now is the potential(!) loss of social welfare, unmatched by the rest of the Europe, and loss of the 13th and 14th(!) salaries. Politicians are also bunch of assholes. [...]

Heads already roll at Panny.
