What’s next: Olympus and Panasonic cameras/lenses

Share

After the Cp+ buzz and announcement we can expect a couple of months of relative quietness. This is what’s going to happen next:

  • Panasonic will announce new camcorders in April. No info yet if there will be any new MFT mount camcorder (don’t think this will happen)
  • The Z-E2 MFT mount camera with 4k120fps should be announced at the NAB show in early April
  • Sigma will soon announce a new 50mm f/1.4 MFT mount lens
  • Olympus might announce some “minor” stuff in June
  • Olympus 12mm f/1.2 could be announced at Photokina
  • No 100% reliable info yet when Olympus will announce the new PEN-F and E-M5III
  • Some sort of special anniversary OMD model might be announced this year
  • Panasonic next major camera announcement is expected at Photokina

Olympus PEN E-PL9 Review by Photographyblog

Share

The E-PL9 is in Stock at Amazon DE and Amazon UK.

Photographyblog posted their full Olympus E-PL9 Review:

Bottom line, the Olympus PEN E-PL9 is not the most exciting update we’ve seen. Those into video making are best served by the improvements in this latest model. AF speed impresses, it’s good to see the built-in flash return (though sadly see the accessory port removed), wireless connections work a treat and the new graphical interface is fun. 
In it’s own right, the Olympus PEN E-PL9 is an excellent entry-level compact-system-camera with more features than most. 

The camera has yet still to be announced in the USA.
