Video above: Panasonic explains the GH2 at Photokina.
Unwire Hong Kong (click here) has two new Panasonic GH2 image samples taken at 1.600 and 3.200 ISO. Those are taken with a pre-production camera but to me the image quality looks really good!

The russian forum “Olympus Our life” posted the first Olympus E-5 review! The test is very detailed with all kind of ISO and sharpness comparison. We have to put our faith in hands of google translation tool to understand the text :)

The Flickr user “Itemsis” just sent us an email to his latest images samples taken at photokina using the new [shoplink 15659]Voigtländer 25mm f/0.95[/shoplink] on a Panasonic G1. You can see two mroe pictures here at Flickr.
We already posted some images few weeks ago (https://www.43rumors.com/voigtlander-nokton-25mm-f0-95-preorders-on-ebay-and-in-australia/)
If you want the new Voigtländer instead of the Noktor you can preorder the lens on:

– Mainlinephoto Australia
– Cameraquest (one of my favorite shops!)

Let me know if other stores do accept preorders! Thanks!

Prototype [shoplink 16254]Panasonic GH2[/shoplink] Footage from Photokina 2010 from Andrew Reid on Vimeo.
EOSHD posted a first preview of the new [shoplink 16254]Panasonic GH2[/shoplink]. You can see some basic ISO-test. He says: “ISO 800 is silky smooth, it looks like ISO 200 on the GH1. It really is virtually noiseless. ISO 1600 is clean and ISO 3200 perfectly useable especially in video mode. Like with the GH1 there is a step change between ISOs higher up. On the GH1, the degradation happened between 800 and 1600 but on the GH1 it only goes down hill between 3200 and 6400 – a great improvement!“
UPDATE: Amazon fixed the issue and removed the GH2. Link below does’t work anymore :(
Weird: Amazon has the SILVER Panasonic GH2 available for preorder for…$0,01 only (definitely a mistake!)
First GH2 Light Speed AF Demo (with the 14-140mm lens)
Finally we have many websites posting Olympus E-5 image samples!
Look at the photo galleries at DPreview, Letsgodigital, Photographyblog, Fotopolis, Photokinashow and FourThirdsuser.com
Images from the E-5 are quite good, even up to ISO 3200. This is definitely the Olympus camera with the best image quality.
You can now preorder the Olympus E-5 at Amazon (Click here)
If you want to know more about the upcoming Olympus compact camera take a look at the Hands-On Photos on Photographyblog and Quesabesde.
SystemKameraForum is the first website to post a [shoplink 16254]Panasonic GH2[/shoplink] camera review. The test is available as PDF only and you need a forum registration to download it. Oh, and it’s in german only!
We can give you a translation of the review high-lights:
– The autofocus is very fast (and faster than on the [shoplink 14826]Panasonic GH1[/shoplink]). Even in extreme bright or dark situations! The say this camera allows a “new dimention of autofus speed, not comparable with the other Panasonic models!”
– They tested the AF-speed with many Panasonic lenses and the AF speed improves on all lenses!
– The AF is faster than the Canon EOS 5D Mark II
– They like the Multi-aspect Bracketing. The GH2 can take 4 continous shots in 16:9 3:2 4:3 1:1!
– Even if the firmware was not in final stage the GH2 has better sharpness, dynamic range and HIGH-ISO than the GH1. They see an 1 stop improvement compared to the GH1.
They say the GH2 is not a revolution but a very concrete evolution of the GH1.
