Guillermo: I just calculated the precise ‘ISO LOW’ in the Olympus E-M5 firmware 2.0 update: it is an ISO160, not ISO100. But it is real, it affects RAW data so good news for RAW shooters. Perhaps you like to comment: http://www.guillermoluijk.com/article/em5isolow/”

Lacza: “I have written a post about street shooting with Thomas Leuthard – when he was using 2 EM-1 bodies. https://medium.com/street-photos/a0f8f2053b87”

Ioup: “I wanted to share this with your readers, I shot this short movie with a GH3, and I guess it shows well what you can achieve with this camera! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyR2Ze7C-EE”

Joe: “My friend Mark Toal and I just started (1/1/14) a new blog called Mirrorless Photo Tips (http://www.mirrorlessphototips.com).”

Mike: Just in case there’s some interest, this is a video link to a report I posted in my day job as a Voice of America correspondent, on some women photographers, interviewed at last weekend’s photo show Photo LA — http://www.voanews.com/content/photos-as-windows-on-the-world/1836538.html”

David: “It is a field test of Olympus’ older, 4/3rds, 50-200 f2.8-3.5 SWD lens (and it’s matching 1.4x converter) and the E-M1. I used the combination to shoot the crazies who race motocross bikes across frozen lakes, at -20C! You can find it, along with my other Olympus reviews, here: http://www.furnfeather.net/Reviews/ReviewIndex.html”

Robin: “Actually it’s no rumor I’d like to share, but my E-M1 review. I tried to sign up for the page, but it wasn’t working. Hope it’s ok I use the ‘share news and rumors’ box. My review is available in english and german and it contains tons of real word images, taken on the streets in asia. If you like my review, I would be happy if you could share it with the community. :)

Short break from MFT news to talk about a curious new Olympus camera: The probably most innovative new product announced yesterday is the Olympus SP-100 (spec and price here at Amazon). And what’s so special with it? It has a 50x zoom (24-1200mm) and it also has a never seen Eagle-Eye gun sight feature! Just check the video below to learn more about it:

Quite cool!

Cameras Reviewed reports:

E-M5 owners should note that Olympus tells us a firmware update is on the way to enable focus peaking, bringing the original OM-D more in line with its new baby brother.

UPDATE: TJ Donegan from Camera.reviewed updated their statement:

Just to be clear, we were told this specifically during our briefing at CES on the E-M10. We asked them twice and they confirmed that it was coming. In the normal reporting process we go through while reviewing the E-M10 we reached out to Olympus reps to double-check this fact and were told that it will not be in the next update, but that it could still be included in future updates We’ve updated the review accordingly.

As a side note I can tell you that an anonymous source told me that Sony first didn’t allow Olympus to use peaking mode on their sensor. Now that Olympus and Sony are official partners this has changed. I don’t know if what the anonymous source told me here is correct. But we can expect some great thing from the partnership anyway ;)

Reminder: Panasonic G 4K announcement next week on Friday 5-6am London time (Feb 7).

Today there are also two major news related to the E-M5:

1) New E-M5 firmware update to version 2.0 (Source: Olympus Japan). This firmware adds:

• Small AF target () was added to the AF target settings.
• ISO LOW (100 equivalent) was expanded on the low sensitivity side.

Quite nice to have ISO 100!!!

2) Olympus also launched the special E-M5 kit with 12-40mm f/2.8 lens, new leatherette body, refined dials. There is no price info but the kit will be released in March (Source: Olympus Japan).

Egami spotted a Pentax patent describing a 14mm f/2.5 lens. The curious thing here is that the desing seems to be close to the [shoplink 16258 ebay]Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 lens[/shoplink] design! Just compare the lens elements images I posted on top.

After Sigma and Konica-Minolta also Pentax designs lenses for the MFT system?
