Our friend Dracore which is following the NAB event in Las Vegas told us that Panasonic is “expecting the AG-AF100 to be available in December“. The Panasonic rep gave him the contact info to submit suggestions which may/may not make it into the final product.
I collected your suggestions and created a poll.
I am sure Panasonic will take care of the suggestions of professionals filmmakeras more than the suggestion of our readers. We have also to consider that most of you are photographer more than videographer. So let’s give you some rules:
1) Vote if you really have some experience with video.
2) Vote if you are one of the potential buyers of the Panasonic AG-AF100
The product of the year is the...

I just recieved a rumor from a new source saying that the next Olympus camera will be “again” a PEN
If some of you can give me some more details please contact me at 43rumors@gmail.com. Thanks!
Reminder: “FT2” = unreliable rumor from new source.
It is really quiet on the MicroFourThirds front. We received rumors about the next Olympus MFT camera but we need some time to double-check the infos we receive. FourThirds rumors are completely on hold until Olympus strategy will be more clear.
But as I told you previousely there will be soon new mirrorless cameras from the competition.
SAMSUNG

2) Expect the release of four new Schneider lenses during the next months.
3) Those lenses would be designed by Schneider but built in Korea by Samsung/Optron-Tech with Schneider supervision and quality control.
SONY
SonyAlphaRumors reports that two Sony mirrorless cameras will be announced on late May. The new system will be called NEX.
I am curious to know what the big ones (Nikon-Canon) want to do….
Our friend Dracore told us that “the design(and specs?) shown is not final and could potentially change. Panasonic will evaluate the responses they get from NAB. The rep suggested to contact Panasonic and let them know what you think about it.“.
Comment this post to suggest your improovements on the AG-AF100 MicroFourThirds camcorder. In few days I will create a POLL with your ideas and 43rumors reader will be able to choose the most important features! I am sure Panasonic is listening you :)
Phil Askey (dpreview chief) asked MicroFourThirds user which lens he should review next. The Olympus 9-18mm
How can you vote?
Please visit the dpreview thread if you want to convince Phil to review one of those lenses.
P.S.: Greetings from 43rumors to all the dpreview team!
