Latest Olympus patents (photorumors.com)
Our collueges from photorumors.com find out some new Olympus patents.
Can someone explain me the DIGITAL CAMERA SYSTEM patent?
A little bit of everything…
Hi everyone!
We begin by linking you to a forum thread where a guy made a nice head to head between three exotic über-fast lenses using the Panasonic G1.
-Soligor ‘ITV’
-Carl Meyer ‘Moviar’

That’s all!
(FT 3) One more source says E-3 upgrade is coming
We received one more confirmation from a new source that the E-3 successor will just be a small upgrade of the E-3. So expect a new E-3 with E-30 sensor and some little new features (expect art filters, improved in-body IS and upgraded liveview).

I kindly ask all of our anonymous rumor senders to give me some kind of REAL email which makes it possible to me to answer them. I will keep your email anonymous. You may create a gmail account first using pseudonyms. But thanks anyway for sharing every rumor you have! Many thanks!

(Updated) – (FT 4) chinese rumors?
UPDATE:
rumor 1: “It seems the Olympus m4/3 is bigger than the Canon G10”
rumor2:Â “I’m not sure first that there is no built-in flash, but they are testing with external flash ..”
UDPATE2: A chinese reader (Alsene) sent us a summary from the thread:
1. This lucky guy was a vendor of Olympus.
2. He saw Olympus engineers were testing the M43 camera and compared to normal DC.
3. The M43 was attached with variable focal lens (14_?), not pancake one and external flash. It is not aware if built in flash existed.
4. It is like a big DC compared to G10.
5. Another discussion told who wants to buy GH1 should wait a moment. Olympus M43 was an excellent one
It seems some fortunate chinese guy had the chance to play with the Olympus MicroFourThirds camera. We tried to use google translation but it doesn’t work very well. Can some chinese reader translate the most important part of the following discussion?
