How does Panasonic spend their money to advertise 4K? Easy, they hire superstar footballer Neymar and make him play with the not so cool looking [shoplink 46655 ebay]”Panasonic HX-A500″ (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. Wondering if that’s the kind of advertising that will make people say…wow how cool this 4K thing is :)
Nissin announced the release of the i40 for Micro Four Thirds. Full product information about the new flash can be read here (google translated): Nissin-Japan. The flash will be sold soon mostly [shoplink 46647 ebay]via eBay sellers[/shoplink].

As a system camera user it’s hard to get excited about fixed lens compact cameras. But the Panasonic FZ-1000 announced today really shake up the premium compact and fixed lens market. First of all it’s priced much lower ($400 less!) than the only competitor to date: The Sony RX10. You can check the price and preorder the Panasonic FZ-1000 at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here). In Europe at WexUK (Click here). Here are a list of reasons why that camera is very intriguing:
1) 25-400mm f/2.8-4.0 lens. It has a damn useful zoom (and aperture) range that covers almost all the possible needs you could have when travelling.
2) The lens has no orion-ring effect on the bokeh just like the $1499 Nocticron 42,5mm f/1.2 lens! (Source: DC.watch).
3) It uses the same Sony 20.1 MP 1 inch large sensor of the new RX100M3. But the FZ-1000 seems to have a better performance at 1600 ISO (see Studio Scene comparison at Dpreview).
4) Has an optical 5 axis stabilization.
5) Unlike Sony’s RX10/Rx100M3 Panasonic fully unlocked the sensors 4K recording potential. Now we have 4K at 30fps and 100mbit/s!
6) It has the same Panasonic GH4 processor engine.
7) The EVF doesn’t appear to be a field-sequential panel, meaning it’s free from the RGB ‘tearing’ that undermined that model’s shooting experience (for some people).
This is really a great camera! So here is the short question:

The FZ1000 has been announced and you can already preorder it at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here). While this is not a MTF camera it’s going to be a very popular camera for travellers. It has a super useful 25-400mm F/2.8-4.0 lens with a large 1 inch sensor and 4K video recording. And it costs $400 less than the Sony RX10!

Gabriel: “Hi admin just wanted to share a Hong Kong travel short, shot entirely on GH3 with 12-35, graded with LUTs. http://vimeo.com/97603218”
Eric: “I wanted to share some documentary content with you guys that was shot entirely with the GH3. It is also commercial content shot for Diamond Foods here in California(Parent to Emerald Nuts, Pop Secret, Kettle Chips). Every frame was shot on the GH3. I figured the 4/3 community would like to check out the work. LINKS TO DOCS:

Anonymous: “im deutschen Oly-Forum http://www.oly-forum.com/forum/kameras-objektive/wifiwlan-und-e-m1?page=3 hat der User andy72 ein Programm für Windows geschrieben bei dem die Funktionen der App Ol.Share übernommen werden. In seinem Beitrag #77 stellt er den Link vor. Mit https://rebs.biz/files/CC-1.0.4-Setup.exe kann das Programm heruntergeladen werden. Mit meiner E-M1 funktioniert es schon sehr gut. Es dürfte daher auch mit der Pen E-P5 und der OM-D E-M 10 auch gehen. Andy will es noch weiter verbessern (Artfilter) und gibt es als Freeware heraus.”
This really comes unexpected: Both new Olympus PRO lenses are listed at BHphoto without price and shipping info:
Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO Lens (here at BHphoto).
Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm f/4 PRO Lens (here at BHphoto).
No idea yet when they will show price and take preorders. But it should be very soon…
