Thanks to MicroFourThirds Panasonic gained the third place! It is also interesting to see how much Nikon lost. I didn’t expect that.
According to the official Panasonic japanese web site, the Panasonic DMC-G1 has been discontinued!
UPDATE: We already told you that a new MicroFourThirds camera should be announced at PMA by Panasonic. This maybe has to do something with the G1 beeing discontinued…
Thanks N.M. for the link!
P.S.: interesting, amazon just dropped the price of the black G1 model (which has been always more expensive than the red and blue models).
Dear readers,
in two-three weeks I will move the 43rumors content on a new and more powerful server. After that I will slowly and carefully add the new 43rumors content. That’s the new stuff I will add:
– CameraDatabase with reviews and news about every single camera
– User-reviews section. You will be able to write camera reviews and post it on 43rumors
– Photocontest
– Forum
– Photographer Database. If you are a professional Photographer shooting with Olympus and Panasonic cameras I will add your name and website to our database.
In December I tested many different softwares and wordpress plugins and I believe you will enjoy the new stuff. It is a lot of work and I am doing it alone. That’s why it will take some time until all works fine….I also have to take care of the new rumors coming ;)
Ale

UPDATE: Today Olympus Germany reported (without further information over the nearer circumstances) the cameras to be found in UK – well and alive!
The cameras were stolen on their way to Olympus Germany – from where they should be sent to different media and publication . They never arrived at their destination! At least it is good to know that even thiefs do like the Olympus E-P2 :)
These are the serial numbers of the stolen cameras:
H87501576
H87501542
H87501552
H87501506

Horrible!
