The E-P5 is marked as discontinued at GetOlympus (Click here). I wonder if there will be ever a new E-P camera….

Our reader Lee made me notice that the GX8 and GX7 cameras may have Mechanical Shutter Issues. The serial number of all affected models seem to start with WE5J or WE5S, meaning produced September-October 2015.

There is a long discussion about this with image samples at Dpreview forum. Example:

Iridientdigital added new RAW camera support for the following cameras:
Olympus: PEN-F and SH-3.
Panasonic: DMC-ZS60 (TZ80, TZ81, TZ85), DMC-ZS100 (TZ100, TZ101), DMC-GF8 and DMC-CM10.

Lately a few readers experienced an unauthorized redirection to spam advertisers when surfing on the mobile version of 43rumors.com. This is an issue with the google Adsense advertisement network and (and not depending from 43rumors). It is affecting many sites (Read the report on Petapixel for example).

What’s happening is that some third-party advertisers is playing against the google advertisement rules. And I need to report this to google. So it would be helpful if you send me the following info when you get redirected:

1) Send me a screenshot and the URL address of the advertiser
2) Tell me the country you are currently located when surfing

All the info can be sent to 43rumors@gmail.com.

Thanks!
