Rumors roundup (This is the week of the G3)
This is the week of the new Panasonic G3. It’s going to be announced on Thursday (May 12 in Japan). But before to report the latest G3 rumors we should make a small summary of the last week rumors (including rumors of Sony, Samsung, Pentax and Nikon mirrorless cameras):
1) Olympus will make a own designed sensor for the Pen PRO (Click here to read the article).
2) Valentin Sama’s prediction about all camera manufactors (Click here to read the article).
3) Panasonic G3 with lens will be priced at $649 (Click here to read the article).
4) Nikon delayed the mirrorless camera announcement (Read at MirrorlessRumors.com).
5) Samsung leaks a 300mm f/2.8 XF-ED lens on youtube (Read at MirrorlessRumors.com).
6) Sony NEX-C3 manual and lens leaked (Read at MirrorlessRumors.com).

Most interested in that second prime lens for June announcement!

3 years ago |Currently, the only manufacturer that has been trying to cater for still photography enthusiasts is Samsung. Sony produces P&S products with a super sensor compromised by low quality, large lenses, Panasonic is becoming a victim of miniaturization and the megapixel race, Nikon is apparently hesitant about introducing a system which combines the wrong sensor and the wrong lenses, Pentax plans to compete with Ricoh over a non-existent market share with an interchangeable-lenses, tiny sensor system and Olympus is taking its time to introduce quality primes (and perhaps a new, albeit 1st generation, sensor). Too much consumer electronics, too little optics and functionality.

3 years ago |I bet since Sony entered the mirrorless game, Pannay doubled its effort to prevent leaks. On one side both want to not look bad compared to another. On the other side, both obviously do not want to release all the innovations they have on table right away – to milk the customer base longer with less R&D investments.
I wish Samsung was little bit faster and more aggressive. But for a newcomer they are already doing pretty good. Including new features in the firmware updates? I can’t remember when camera manufacturers ever did that before.
