43 Rumors

dbas, I agree, but I think that as long as there are buyers, they’ll continue to sell as high as they can while they can. What we need to remember is that regardless of the sensor size, a lens’ focal length is a set thing. That this is a 75mm lens, at $800 (if this [...]

Ale, Thanks for all that you do. We all appreciate the amount of time you pour into this (and the Alpha and MR sites). Anyone giving you grief for anything should shove off. I, and anyone who visits this site regularly should understand not only the nature of a rumor site as being entertaining first [...]

Well, if you’re talking 3yo tech, that would be the 5DII. Regarding sharpness or color from processed files, that is a combination of the firmware and conversion method which can also be manipulated to make any modern digital file look like another if needed. If for your application you see no discernible difference between a [...]

While I agree with the above posters that “professional” is only in terms of the individual using whichever tools they see fit for the application, I will say that in any capable “professional’s” hands two different tools (cameras let’s say) used for the same shot will produce two different files. There are a multitude of [...]

Scott, I’ve gotta disagree. There isn’t much difference in the quality? Really? I’m a huge fan of the micro 4/3 system, but to say that it is as good as my full frame system is just an incorrect statement. Is the micro 4/3 system a good system for many shooting scenarios? Yes. Is it “better” [...]

While I think that this is a great step forward for the micro 4/3 system, I cannot see ever paying this much for lenses for a system using a sensor this small. I think that those who have bought into the system for professional applications, video primarily, are going to be able to justify the [...]

I’ll have to politely disagree with your assessment Jorginho. What I’ve said is far from nonsense, even if you feel so. From purely a “system” standpoint, you are partially correct. But, I took the GH series (and even G series) out of the equation because those compete, in my opinion with the Canon Rebels/xxxD’s and [...]

Those calling the critics whiners can equally be considered nothing more than blinded fan boys. Look, I’ve been a huge fan of the micro 4/3 system and would love to see it make large steps forward. I’ve chosen to invest in it personally, and of course I’d like the system I’ve chosen to provide me [...]

It’s little things like this that have me turning my head toward competing systems. If I’m going to have to entirely reinvest in the whole system each time I look to upgrade the body, I will certainly be looking at what other systems have to offer. Not to play the bitter ex, but I’m not [...]

I don’t think we’ll see Pana move away from a dSLR style body (G2/GH2) but I strongly disagree that there cannot be a “pro” level ‘rangefinder’ style body. A GF style body with a strong build, high performing sensor and decently weather sealed body with most of the GH series features would absolutely kill it [...]

This is exciting. I hope to see Oly provide a slightly tweaked and more streamlined interface coupled with a better LCD screen. Add to that a built in flash and EVF, maybe the newer sensor and quicker AF!!! I think it would be exactly what the micro 4/3 platform needs right now. Seeing that if [...]
