(FT2) Let’s dream: Olympus E-5 in May?

According to popular photography a new great DSLR should be announced soon. Is it a Canon? Is it a Nikon?

I want to add my question: Is it the Olympus E-5?

We know the camera is ready for launch. Olympus already confirmed that the Olympus E-3 successor should come in a “realtively short time”. So let’s dream a little bit and repeat the question: Is is the Olympus E-5?

Dear readers, I want your opinion on that video. It looks like the Olympus commercial wants to promote MicroFourThirds instead of FourThirds. May I be wrong…

Sony NEX vs MicroFourThirds

According to very reliable informations on SonyAlphaRumors the Sony NEX cameras will not have in-body stabilization. I guess they wanted to make the camera as small as possible. They will not have built-in flash and no electronic viewfinder (only an optional optical viewfinder). Sony NEX lenses will be bigger than MicroFourThirds lenses. Even the Sony 16mm f/2.8 pancake is bigger than the Olympus 17mm f/2.8 Lens or the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lens (the 16mm lens has a diameter of 49mm).

It sounds like the real killer-feature will be the cheap price (and 1080p with the NEX5).

Thoughts about the Panasonic adapter patent

Few days ago we told you about the new Panasonic patent which discloses a new adapter for MicroFourThirds. The adapter camera ads a mirror and phase detection on MicroFourThirds cameras.
Zone-10 and EOSHD analyzed the patent and found something interesting:

Zone-10: “What is specifically significant about this adaptor is the 0.5x optics which effectively halves the focal length of a legacy lens placed on the camera.
EOSHD: “The result is a ‘blur-free image’ with a full frame focal length.

Interesting…
