Olympus released a new firmware update for the E-P5. It improves remote wifi shooting.

UPDATE: The full GH4 presentation PDF file at Personal View (Click here) and scroll down to the “GH4 Presentation link“. The file contains many bold claims from Panasonic. Like: “High Picture Quality – Far Exceeding APS-C“.

Really, download the file and read it. It’s full of details!

P.S.:  Amazon removed the warning saying GH4 preorders will start on March 17 (Click here).

These are the pictures of the next two Olympus PRO zooms. The M.Zuiko Digital ED 7-14 f/2.8 and the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4.0. Both are weather sealed. Price has not be unveiled yet.

Small disappointment: The lenses will not arrive until 2015.

Gqmagazine (translation here) unveils a new limited edition blue GM1 kit. The “Colette” edition will be sold for 1.000 Euro from end of February. There will be only 50 of them. Sounds like Panasonic is going to follow Leica’s M route and start to make some special edition of their cameras.

Voigtlander officially announced a new version of the 25mm f/0.95 MFT lens. it has the same optical design but adds De-Clicked Stepless Aperture Control. The image on top shows the new lens. Price will be the same of the current [shoplink 15659 ebay]Nokton 25mm (here one Bay)[/shoplink]. The new version will ship from March.

I got the press text in German if you want/can read it:

Nachdem sich die lichtstarken Festbrennweiten mit MFT- Anschluß immer größerer Beliebtheit erfreuen, gibt es eine weitere frohe Kunde. Das erste Objektiv dieser Reihe, das Nokton 0,95/25mm, wird ab März 2014 auch mit der selektiven Blendensteuerung ausgestattet sein.
Dies erlaubt dem Benutzer zu wählen ob er die traditionelle Vorgehensweise der Blendeneinstellung oder ob er eine stufenlose Blendensteuerung bevorzugt. Besonders bei der Anwendung im Filmmodus lassen sich hier sehr effektvoll dramatische Einstellungen erzielen, zumal die stufenlose Einstellung auch absolut geräuschlos vorgenommen werden kann. Alle anderen technischen Daten bleiben unverändert.

Thanks Thomas for finding this!

Have to catch up with two small non MFT related news-rumors:
TVBeurope reports that “Panasonic is set to launch its first handheld ENG camera with wireless connectivity, enabling recorded content to be shared almost instantly and accessed from anywhere.”
ePostel unveils that Olympus will launch a new SH-1 compact camera. The fact that it has been listed on that site means that Olympus has still one more announcement coming within the next few weeks. Maybe something else is coming too?

And here are more MFT news:

No guys, this isn’t a concept camera! This is a real new camera announced today by Sigma! It’s a DP series and if the designers goal was to get viral with it than they definitely achieved it :)

The full press release can be found at our sister site MirrorlessRumors.com.

I am still trying to figure out why the heck that design should be useful…can you think of some reason why such a large camera could be good for a photographer?
