Highly trusted sources confirmed that Olympus will launch an “exciting” new OMD camera in January! The camera will be displayed at the CP+ show in Japaan in mid February. I have no specs yet but the sources told me that this isn’t an evolution of a current camera. It’s something VERY(!) different. Sounds damn good to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe they will (again) take inspiration form the past and bring some digital version of past OM cameras? Which one would you like most? OMD camera history:

P.S.: I don’t know if Olympus will also announce the digital [shoplink 35471 ebay]Olympus Trip 35 camera (here on eBay)[/shoplink] on the same event…

Amazon tries to beat the competition and just started their Black Friday deals event (Click here to see all deals). That’s 23 days ahead than the real Black Friday event :)
Specific Photo only deals can be seen on that page (Click here).
The brand new Panasonic 35-100mm f/4.0-5.6 lens is in Stock for the very first time in USA via Adorama (Click here). And the same lens just got reviewed at ePhotozine:
On the whole, it’s difficult to fault this little lens from Panasonic. Optically it performs better than its £300 price tag would have you expect, while being compact enough to be barely noticeable in a camera bag when travelling. Those looking for a compact telephoto lens, should certainly add this lens to their list of considerations.
Excellent sharpness at maximum aperture throughout the zoom range
Compact, collapsible design
Good build quality
Light weight
Optical stabilisation
Decent value
Lower priced alternatives offer more telephoto reach for less money, but are generally more bulky

One more thing: Black Friday deals already started on Amazon US (Click here to see an impressive long list of deals).
A newly published Olympus patent (Source: Egami) discloses the design of a new “Lens-Camera”. It works just like the [shoplink 48340 ebay]Sony QX lenscameras (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. I guess this kind of product will be announced soon as Olympus already showed a similar version with their Open Platform camera. This is Olympus answer to the dying compact camera market. But I really don’t know if that is really the right solution…

Daniel: “I just wanted to share with you a short video I created using the now very cheap GH3! I sure would love to upgrade to the GH4 but I would love to share what is still possible with what you have :)
I also have a updated photo gallery all shot with micro four third cameras!. I have own a Gf1, EM-5, and a GH-3. If you find my work of interest at all feel free to share. Thank you for your time.

TriNavi: “Just wanted to let you know that the Panasonic LX100 and Leica D-lux will have only 50 euro price difference in Verkkokauppa.com, the largest retailer in Finland. http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/search?q=lx100 The D-lux package includes Adobe Lightroom. With such small price difference, I think many will choose the Leica over the Panasonic even if they already have Lightroom.”
Nicholas: “The Olympus EM-5 never gets any love for its video quality but I think a lot of people tend to look at things from too high a vantage point. https://vimeo.com/105802470”
Elvis: I’ve recently released my first feature film that was shot on the Pansonic GH3 (and the GH2 for a few scenes). It’s available free on Vimeo just in case you might want to share it in the “A bit of everything” posts! http://projections.augustproject.org”
James: “A short film about despair, hope, and redemption which uses the GH3 and 12-35mm 2.8 lens for some key shots. http://vimeo.com/109902598“
