ReallyRightStuff (Click here) announced the new L-Plate for the E-M10II.

And Roberto sent me this:

“Since it was difficult (yet) to find any kind of supporting grip for my new Lumix GX8, I just had an epiphany and tried out the L-Grip / Bracket for my Sony A7 (without the vertical part)… and voila, works like a charm :) It´s almost as if it were designed for the Lumix as well!
Here are some pix:

It adds pretty good stability with the bigger zooms or the Nocticron, and costs only about 10 Dollars from HK! I think it´s a nice solution, until they come up in a few months with a proprietary one…
So, you might want to share this with all the lucky GX8 owners out there? ;)”

a bit of everything…

I just got this from an anonymous source:

“I asked what should be expected with the M1 II video, the Oly guy suggested that they will completely eliminate motion shifting in video recording. I asked does that mean they will bring global shutter to the camera, and he replied he doesn’t really know, as the Japan didn’t release anything in detail.”

Let’s hope the E-M1II will come soon and have global shutter…and 4K!

Panasonic_100-400mm

I think we have a pretty clear idea about what’s coming next from Panasonic and Olympus. So let’s make a roadmap table:

January-February:
Olympus will launch the 300mm f/4.0 PRO lens with in lens stabilization
Panasonic will launch the Leica 100-400mm f/4.0-6.3 lens.

February-March-April-May:
Olympus will launch a new kind of PEN camera with built-in EVF
Panasonic will launch a new GM7 4K camera
Both companies may also show early prototypes of their new fast prime lenses.

June-July-August-September:
Panasonic will launch the new GH5 cameras (maybe with 8k?)
Olympus will launch the E-M1II

Of course there will be some more stuff that we don’t know about yet. Maybe a GX8, another new PEN and some other premium glas.
