Oh! You definitely have to read the latest Imaging Resource interview to John Knaur and Peter Ewen (both from Olympus). They talk about the future of FourThirds, about the MicroFourThirds competition from Samsung and Sony and they talk about lenses and future improvements.

There is really a lot to read so take a break make yourself a coffea and enjoy!

Once again Samsung is expressing their strong faith that they will rule the mirrorless interchangeable camera market. Chekc out their latest statement at dpreview.

Surprise surprise!!!

John Knaur (Olympus US) told dpreview.com: “We still plan to develop full size DSLRs and both, side-by-side.”
And an official statement from Olympus Japan says “In the future, you will continue to see new cameras based on both standards.”

Both statements are a response to the following sentence made few days ago by Richard S. Pelkowski (Olympus US) “The Olympus E system of Four Thirds cameras is likely to be completely mirrorless in two years time, according to Olympus America’s DSLR product manager.” (source Amateur Photographer)

Just my personal toughts:

The only way Olympus can convince me that FourThirds is still alive is to release new FourThirds cameras and FourThirds lenses! So…Hurry Up! :)

It doesn’t matter if you like him or not. No voice should be shut down!

Please read here what’s going on in California: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/00-new-today.htm

Zone-10 just published a new article “Is Micro FourThirds Raining on Canon’s Parade?” The author compares the Olympus and Canon future strategy. Really interesting article!

P.S.: The article is very long!!!

This are very busy times for me. Yesterday we transferred the whole website on a new server and now it will need weeks until I can fix everything on 43rumors (layout and new content). The good news is that everything loads much faster. YEAH!

I also continually receive mails with comments news and rumors…something like 60-70 mails per day!

How do I manage to do everything?

In this days I weak up one hour earlier than usual. I need one hour to check the latest news on my RSS reader and to check the mails I recieved. Than I go to work (train at 7.20 am). I am currently editing my latest documentary and every one-two hour I make a short break to check emails and news. After dinner I have 30 minutes to write something on 43rumors. When I am at home (at 6 o’clock in the evening) my girlfriend gives me exactly one hour time to finish my job on 43rumors :) But I have to admit…in this days one hour is not enaugh!

As you see I am quite busy and that also explains why I sometimes can’t answer you. There is a lot of hidden work on 43rumors. I am doing my best to catch interesting news/rumors and that needs a lot of time. Also the website redesign was quite a challenge for me. I have still a lot of bugs to fix.

Anyway what I want to tell you is that I am really excited. In March we will have a lot of new stuff coming! I also learned that Panasonic and Olympus are listening us. They are following our website and reading your suggestions. I expect some of your desires ot be fulfilled soon!

About me: Can’t wait to have time for some rest but I believe I will have to work trough the whole February and March until I can take some time for me.

If you want to know more about me just contact me at 43rumors@gmail.com or comment this post.

Now I have to go back to work…

Cheers

Ale
