Comments on: Zone-10 -> Canon vs Olympus and future predictions http://www.43rumors.com/zone-10-canon-vs-olympus-and-future-predictions/ Panasonic and Olympus Digital Camera News Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:18:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jeffrey D http://www.43rumors.com/zone-10-canon-vs-olympus-and-future-predictions/comment-page-1/#comment-8733 Jeffrey D Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:29:31 +0000 http://43rumors.com/?p=11049#comment-8733 "Although Casio (surprised?) ranks second in Japan’s domestic sales for digital compacts, it’s still Canon and to some extent Panasonic." Sorry but the article is amateur market analysis from a hobby digital camera enthusiast who doesn't know what he's talking about and can't write for smack. The nonsensical quote above, as well as the David and the "Christian World" metaphor at the beginning, are simply embarrassing. “Although Casio (surprised?) ranks second in Japan’s domestic sales for digital compacts, it’s still Canon and to some extent Panasonic.”

Far fetched predictions or obvious conclusions. Who knows who will bring these technologies together first, olympus? maybe. maybe not. As EVF's get better and better (which they will) - does it make sense to have that mechanical mirror and large prism? Contrast detect autofocus is still slower than phase, but its already accurate, someday it will be lightning quick. Shutterless design? its coming. 20fps? Without a mirror or a shutter all you need it the hardware to process the images quickly. Right around the corner. Compact Flash just released their new specifications 5.0 did you see the storage and write speeds???? Improved sensors, dynamic range, more powerful in camera processing. As we speak. One thing is for certain. With 6 m4/3 cameras released in a year, each on better than the last, its hard to decide when to jump in and buy one. Wait a month and there is something new on the horizon. Going to hang back and see what comes out in the next month or two, then bite the bullet and buy one. Quite a bit of that article makes sense. Far fetched predictions or obvious conclusions.
