Paolo: “Here’s a couple of videos I did recently with the LX100 in 4K that shows both daylight and night examples. This one shows a bunch of scenery shots of Sao Miguel Azores.

Olympus officially launched that teaser for a new OMD camera. But we all know that it’s for the new E-M5II. So no big deal here :)
In case you missed the leaks here are the E-M5II images once again:

Panasonic released the new firmware update for the Panasonic 35-100mm f/2.8 lens. That’s the one single new improvement:

Improved the stability of O.I.S.[Optical Image Stabilizer] in Motion Picture recording (When using DMC-GH3/GH4)

There is a new winter video contests on Personal View (Click here). And the best three videos will get some nice Fotga stuff. Like that Full Fotga camera rig you see on top. Post your video on that PV thread to have the chance to win.

Of course this has to be taken with a grain of salt. But usually newly announced cameras manage to get soemwhere within the most sold 100 mirrorless camera chart at Amazon (Click here). Well, the GF7 is the first new MFT camera that doesn’t make it into the top 100 the first day of the announcement.

New Panasonic GF7 doesn’t sell in any meaningful quantity at Amazon US. Well I guess Panasonic’s goal with the GF7 was to appeal the Asian market in first place. So that may not be a big problem for Panasonic. Let’s hope the GX8 will get more “attention” from all of us :)
