The Sony-Olympus partnership makes it possible for Olympus to joint the FF world. While I don’t know if this will happen (and if it makes sense at all) the people on the web is already starting to dream their Olympus FF cameras. So here is the first Olympus E-7F designed by one of our 43rumors readers. Feel free to send me your Olympus FF designs if you want them to be posted here!

Samyang released a new lens designed for ASP-C system cameras and it will come with native MFT mount too. It’s the 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS lens and will ship from January. Full press release and image samples (on APS-C cameras) can be seen at Samyang-europe.com.
And this is the official video:

Olympus CEO released an interview at Diamond (a Japanese Magazine). In short he says that Olympus didn’t expect the compact camera fixed lens market to drop that dramatically. But the good news for them is that the new Olympus E-m1 is selling very well and also their PEN camera sales are good. The most important thing Olympus built up a good reputation on the market.

Cameras.Reviewed and Mainichi analyzed the latest CIP data and while it’s true that sales went down this year there is also some surprising positive aspects to report. Personal View analyzed the data and discovered that actually compact camera sales are now steady (no more dropping) while DSLR and Mirrorless system camera sales increased recently! The graph on very top shows you how DSLR and Mirrorless camera shipments increased (CIPA data from Japanese companies). And when you look at the second graph you wills ee that compact camera market is now steady.
In short: On year to year to basis it is true that this year was worse than 2012. But lately things have gone a bit better. So, are we sure that the dramatic reports and forecast are not…too exaggerated?

Hardwarezone attended a Panasonic presentation in Singapore:
Panasonic also displayed some alternate designs, with unique colors and textures, for the GM1. The company said that if one of them proved popular enough, it could make it into actual production.
Panasinic also displayed the lenses coming in 2014:
