Olympus announced the new SH-2 fixed lens compact camera. The SH line takes inspiration from the PEN design. It has a 16Megapixel 1/2.3″ sensor, a 25-600m lens, 5-axis image stabilization and 1080/60p video. You can preorder it at BHphoto (Click here).
Hands-on at Dpreview. Spanish press at DSLRmagazine. Press at ThePhoBlographer.
Panasonic will have a press conference on April 13 right at the NAB show in Las Vegas. Trusted sources already told us back in October the new AG-AF100 successor is due with completely new sensor and 4K recording. I am particularly interested in that new MFT sensor as it should bring some incredibly advanced new performance:

I had a conversation with a Panasonic Rep here in Japan.He told me in the near future there will be an upgrade of the AF 101 camera announced. Newly designed sensor will have an immense dynamic range of up to 15 stops and 4K. Sensor will be a big surprise in unexpected ways. Not shure about the price tag though.

Jouko: “After following some discussions here about new lenses and holes in offerings I made some serchings around. The result: List of lenses for mFT-cameras, http://joukolehto.blogspot.fi/
I included all lenses compatible with mFT mount (native) and older FT-mount, which offer more or less working AF-function, and automatic aperture operation. Also manual mFT-lenses are listed, and maybe some PL-mount lenses, whose manufactures say they are for mFT.
I can now say, that there are plenty of choises.
Even at least 8 pinhole lenses, 12 fisheyes (185- 120 degrees), zooms from 7mm to 800 mm, no-fisheyes from 8.5 mm to 850mm. Native mFT-AF-lenses from 7mm to 300mm, soon up to 420mm (300mm f4 x1.4).
Many F 0.8 – 0.95 – 1.2 lenses from different focal lenghts…
All listed lenses are either for sale right now, officially announced to be in production this year or discontinued. So no rumors (unless some manufacturer decides to hold production).
And then there are the lenses wich can be adapted to mFT-body… I included the focal reducers to the list, but non-optical adapters are not there – as you know about every single lens made ever can be used with a mFT-body.
The pages are still a bit “raw”, but working, as far as I could test them now.
Have fun and take a look!“

Sergey: “Just returned from Oympus OM-D E-M5 MarkII presentation and discovered that HLD-8 grip fits OM-D E-M10 – the only drawback is that it is about 5mm longer and to change the battery abd the card you have to remove the grip. Otherwise it works!”
