Fredrik: ““Here is my best example so far of how great the colors are on the GX85! I think the colors out of this camera is beautiful and even better than the GH4, or at least it’s easier for me to achieve good looking images. The video was shot with the 12-35mm X using only natural light with reflectors. I used the standard color profile 0, -5, -5, 0. Edit and grade was done in FCPX with Color Finale. Have a look and tell me what you think?”

Thomas: “Scandinavian Photo offers low prices on the GX8, only some 100€ above the GX 80/85 – those SP sales use to be certain signs that new products is on the way, hopefully a smaller, weather sealed GX 9 with a serious EVF http://www.scandinavianphoto.se/kategori/1010288340/kompakt-systemkamera/panasonic“

DxOmark (Click here) tested the PEN-F performance and writes:

Not only the highest resolution Olympus sensor to date, the PEN-F also ranks as the highest scoring Olympus hybrid on our database. Improvements over previous Olympus 16Mp sensors are modest, but greater color depth at higher sensitivities is a positive step that will be welcomed by many photographers.

Close look: The new Olympus 12-100mm PRO lens

The new 12-100mm PRO lens is a perfect travel zoom and also a perfect lens for budget filmmakeras. The full presentation page with MTF graph can be seen at GetOlympus (Click here). Let’s take at two lens reviews:

Neil Buchan Grant tested the lens on a trip in Cuba and writes:

This 12-100 is, I suspect, the sharpest and most contrasty zoom lens Olympus have brought out to date. My impression just from working with the files is that its sharpness and resolving power has to be up there with the best Olympus’s best primes. After 2 weeks of shooting every day with it, I would now consider it indispensable on any travel shoot.

Alex McClure tested the lens for Steve Digicams and says:

The first thing I noticed was how small it is. In fact, it’s only about 1-1/4″ taller than the M.Zuiko 12-40 f/2.8 Pro lens. With most wide range zooms you have a great end and a good end, meaning one side is super sharp and the other end is just sharp.  That is not the case with the M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 Pro IS lens. It is super sharp from 12mm all the way though to 100mm.
