Today Nikon announced one of the most unexciting new cameras to date. A little updated D810 DSLR. But why should we care about that? Well read that:
WSJ is blaming Nikon’s strategy and praising Olympus! Here is what they write:
The market shows growth in just one category: “mirrorless” cameras. Nikon was among the last of major Japanese makers to release a mirrorless camera, and still offers only a handful of models. The company likely fears cannibalization of its high-end DSLRs, but its strategy seems not to be working. Nikon’s camera division, more than two-thirds of the company, posted a 9% revenue decline for the year through March.
Incoming chief executive Kazuo Ushida said the company plans to dive into medical equipment, in which it has no expertise…while rival Olympus is already a global leader in medical imaging, as well as in mirrorless cameras.
As we told you before Olympus “hopes” to reach a break even for the current fiscal year. The recent mirrorless worldwide market growth could help them to realize their goal.

Heather: “We recently wrote an article called ‘Mirrorless Cameras for Professional Work: Where they prevail & where they fail’. Mathieu investigates a number of points we feel all professionals should carefully consider before dropping the DSLR for a mirrorless system. http://www.bestmirrorlesscamerareviews.com/2014/06/24/mirrorless-cameras-for-professional-work-where-they-prevail-where-they-fail/“

We have plenty of more news about the Kodak PixPro S-1 Micro Four Thirds camera:
1) The price for the camera is $499 (Source: Kodakcamera).
2) This is the manual (pdf download here).
3) Soomal (Click here) posted the first image samples taken with the Kodak camera.
Overall the $499 price is much higher than expected! For $300 you can buy the Olympus E-PM2 with lens at Amazon US (Click here). Are the extra $200 worth it? Dont think so…
Huh, 1-2 times per year it happens that sources and I do not understand us right :) This is one of these cases. A highly trusted source actually told me the LX8 will NOT. I repeat NOT use the same FZ1000 sensor! There was a miscommunication before the FZ1000 announcement and I didn’t understand the LX8 doesn’t use the same FZ1000 sensor.
Sorry, for the mistake, but communication with sources is let’s say…not always 100% clear :)
P.S.: Panasonic FZ-1000 preorders at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here). In Europe at WexUK (Click here).
