Despite a huge drop on the US market the overall worldwide mirrorless shipments keep growing compared to August. Particularly the European shipments had a big jump. But it’s still a long way to go before Mirrorless will catch up with DSLR sales. And The overall system camera market is still shrinking compared to 2013. Both DSLR and Mirrorless sales are lower compared to the same month 2013 :(

(FT5) New Olympus OMD camera to be announced in January already!

Image on top. The “Full Frame” [shoplink 28222 ebay]OM-1 film camera[/shoplink].

Highly trusted sources confirmed that Olympus will launch an “exciting” new OMD camera in January! The camera will be displayed at the CP+ show in Japaan in mid February. I have no specs yet but the sources told me that this isn’t an evolution of a current camera. It’s something VERY(!) different. Sounds damn good to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they will (again) take inspiration form the past and bring some digital version of past OM cameras? Which one would you like most?  OMD camera history:

As usual stay tuned on 43rumors to get more details soon!

P.S.: I don’t know if Olympus will also announce the digital [shoplink 35471 ebay]Olympus Trip 35 camera (here on eBay)[/shoplink] on the same event…

Panasonic 35-100mm reviewed at ePhotozine. First time in Stock in USA (Adorama).

Bildschirmfoto 2014-11-04 um 10.29.22

The brand new Panasonic 35-100mm f/4.0-5.6 lens is in Stock for the very first time in USA via Adorama (Click here). And the same lens just got reviewed at ePhotozine:

On the whole, it’s difficult to fault this little lens from Panasonic. Optically it performs better than its £300 price tag would have you expect, while being compact enough to be barely noticeable in a camera bag when travelling. Those looking for a compact telephoto lens, should certainly add this lens to their list of considerations.

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4.0-5.6 Asph Pros

Excellent sharpness at maximum aperture throughout the zoom range
Compact, collapsible design
Good build quality
Light weight
Optical stabilisation
Decent value

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4.0-5.6 Asph Cons

Lower priced alternatives offer more telephoto reach for less money, but are generally more bulky
