The new Panasonic Leica 100-400mm lens will finally start to ship next week on March 15 according to BHphoto.

Daniel Cox just returned from Japan where he met with the Panasonic Lumix team and spent ten days photographing Japan’s Winter Wildlife. Most of the work was with the Lumix GX8 and the new Leica 100-400mm zoom. You can see the image gallery here http://archive.naturalexposures.com/proofing/C00003nDou.nKOU0/G0000gFSGHEV7FMk

As we reported weeks ago Olympus just registered a new camera named “IM001” (Source: Postel). We got early rumors about a high end fixed lens compact and of course the E-M1II. But I don’t know if “IM001” is a sort of code name for one of the two rumored cameras. So what’s your guess?

The Canadian Dollar had a major depreciation during the last years. That lead to very low prices o electronic products. For example you get the GX8 for $888 only through Canadian sellers: Check out those [shoplink 58709 ebay]Silver (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 58710 ebay]Black (Click here)[/shoplink] GX8 offers. That’s almost $200 less than the US price at Amazon.

Well that is about to end soon! Panasonic and Olympus will increased their prices up to 30% in Canada starting on April 1! So if you think it’s a joke…well know it is not :(

Olympus Q&A at Imaging Resource: New “entry level” PEN models coming for sure

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2016-03-07 um 10.41.31
Imaging Resource posted their Olympus Q&A. And those are some new info we got:

1) “we in the imaging division have to show a profit. So [for that reason] we focus more on our OM-D category, not on the digital compact cameras. So we are now investing less and fewer resources on compact cameras, and more focusing on the OM-D, the interchangeable-lens mirrorless cameras.”
2) In difficult times the top management where considering the reasons why they should keep the imaging business. But now “the company is much more behind the imaging business.”
3) While the system camera sales in 2015 dropped 5% (according to CIPA) Olympus managed to increase their sales by 5%.
4) PEN-F target users are enthusiasts and male.
5) Last consumer PEN was the E-Pl7 (launched 18 months ago). Olympus confirms there will be new entry-level models: “Yes, of course. Sure. As I said, the PEN line is important for us from the target user point of view.”
6) The future lens development focus is on PRO primes.

The interview contains a lot of info so be sure to take time to read it all!
