Olympus registered a new camera feature which automatically takes a picture when your son/daughter splashes the water. Apparently Olympus considers this as a very important “moment” no parent wants to miss :)
Absurd or Genius idea to patent?

Panasonic just released the full first quarter financial results (pdf file here). The first good news is that Panasonic is writing black numbers and recovering from the crisis they had the past years (just like any other electronic company had).
There is no much info about the Digital camera Business but the news are good:
Although sales in Europe were down due to weaker sales in TVs and DSCs as well as the impact of political instability in Ukraine, sales in the other regions increased from last year.
…
In the challenging businesses such as DSCs and mobile phones, profitability improved due to the impact of new products and cutbacks in products.
Adobe update Lightroom and added support for the Panasonic GH4 nd FZ1000.

Hagen (video on top): “I have so much fun with the GH4/slowmo feature – I just have to share. It´s not for pixel peepers since I don´t spend much time for optimizing YT quality. But I thought it´s a nice demo how 1:4 looks in practice. I love those gymnastics girls!”

Leopold: “Here is an acoustic music video i shot on the GH3 with the SLRMagic 35/1.4 and the anamorphot. It was some kind of a test shooting for upcoming projects i´d like to shoot with my new gh4 which i´ll get soon. I really like the anamorphot, although it´s not easy to handle when shooting in near distances with the diopters. You have to be very careful to stay in focus especially when shooting wide open. But it´s fun and the look is unique! https://vimeo.com/100743835”
Graham: “Going through recent photojournalism on the web, I noticed that Jerome Sessini’s beautiful and horrifying photos of the MH17 crash site in Eastern Ukraine were all taken with an EM-1. Warning, graphic content:
