Eric: “This isn’t a rumor, really it’s news. Anyway, anybody running a Mac that’s updated to the latest OS X (El Capitan) won’t be able to install the upcoming E-M1 or E-M5II firmware at the end of November — it turns out that the Olympus installer needs a big upgrade first: https://www.mu-43.com/threads/80651/”

Gary (video on top): “I thought that you’d love to see this video I recently made in Fiji with the GH4 along with the DJI Inspire 1 flying camera. It’s a tremendously heart-filled piece featuring the Setareki family singing and working in their patch of farm in the jungle.”

Andres: “Shot a video showing off 4K on the LX100. It’s a year old camera, but you can score one for ~$600 in a few places, and the video quality startled me. (It’s really good.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQnT0CO1NA”

One more thing: Read the Photo Tips by Peter Baumgarten on GetOlympus (Click here).
The Swedish Cyberphoto site posted that video from the Fotomässan 2015 show. And you can see the Leica 100-400mm size very well. It’s really not that big!
And this comes from Martin: “Panasonic 100-400mm size size comparison. I thought this was an interesting comparison to the 40-150mm PRO. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56779139”
The lens will cost around $2,500.
Jan (video on top): “I received my Panasonic Lumix G 25mm F1.7 today and made a short unboxing video. I haven’t seen any other videos about the new 25mm yet, so I thought you and your readers might be interested.”
GX8 review by Dutch Pixelmania.
Martin: “I think you should publish about this 3rd party HLD-7 battery grip damaging the camera contacts, and possibly functionality and resale value. It just happened to me, and according to some amazon reviews, I’m not alone. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56767425”
Holger: “as you may remember I’m the developer of the GSimpleRelease App for easily creating Focus Brackets (look here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.minaxsoft.gsimplerelease). I added new a new feature to react on Noise. Just to mention :-) Some kind advertisement is always good… )”

Over at Magnum Photographer (Click here) you can see the pictures shot by Alex Majoli in Paris during the Terror Attack. I will take the chance to send all my condolences to the people who suffered from the tragedy.
–
Very non-important side note: Alex Majoli is also an Olympus photographer and he used the E-M1 and the adapted 14-35mm F2.0 SWD lens to take this pictures.

Vive La France!
