43 Rumors

http://youtu.be/Ob3FgDwjiJw Sample video of Lumix G X Vario12-35mm F2.8

all these people who are anti-apps for cameras are the same people who would of been against live view, in camera metering, auto focus, having more than one white balance/aspect ratio etc etc Olympus and Panny won’t introduce apps until they have nailed it and built in various safeguards, they will probably launch a joint [...]

@Mr. Reeee you are not using your imagination… eg apps could be used to auto identify and tag what you are shooting which would be useful for wildlife shooters, as well as sports photographers by identifying and tagging certain players for example eg you could also store your wedding list of shots on your camera [...]

1. yes Olympus seem to have the edge not just in range of lenses, in pricing, balance of features, design and making their cameras aspirational as well as nailing down the demographics 2. Mark Thackera again has hit the nail on the head, something that the big 2 could learn from with their recent [...]

@mahler
that’s a bit harsh

@Haswell
Micro Four Thirds is just starting to encroach into the wedding market, give it 4-5 years…

Micro Four Thirds isn’t worried about Nikon and Sony now because they’ve shown their hand and to be honest Oly and Panny shouldn’t be too worried about Canon as I don’t believe they will produce anything spectacular or ground breaking (unless they will introduce apps which they won’t be anytime soon)…

@1213 blah blah camerageek etc
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1058&thread=41262965 where is is someone’s talk now of the Nikon1 being sold at “fire sale prices”??? Nikon1 sale prices FALLS 50% in just 6 months!

good find @admin images looking great too…

….wasn’t expected global shutter in the GH3 to be honest, let hope they improve the build quality (less easily scuffed and markings wearing off quickly) and that implement more advanced features and more accessories….

@Gbk
that video seems plausible, wish I could extract the meta data from it

the GH3 will need a wireless remote (hopefully bundled with GH3) with main video and photo functions…. any word @admin ?

@Brod1er
pretty sure the GH3 will have AF 3D tracking….

@MJr
consumers pay the cinemas.

consumers don’t always get fooled by marketeers look at Blu-Ray, DVD are still more popular, also 3D was suppose to be the next big thing but even in the last 12 months the amount of 3D cinema screenings has fallen. If cinemas etc think they can charge extra for a 4K screening and that consumers [...]

@Anonymous
just one question : can the spot metering be linked to the auto focus target in the E-7???

….might be true, I keep hearing hints of the E-5 successor being secretly tested out in the wild

“bringing back the olympus beginner and mid level E-system cameras” less likely but possible… seeing as Olympus never brought out a 8mm and 7-14mm micro four thirds

1. Olympus say the thought to go mirrorless in 2008 (looks like Panny beat them to launch though) 2. new sensor is made somewhere on Planet Earth 3. art filters must be unique or have unique quality – good thinking (might be an idea for Olympus to license to video or photo editing software companies [...]
