OM-D EM10 Mark 2 Feature Overview – Improvements and New Features
We have new E-M10II reviews to report today:
ePhotozine writes:
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II is an excellent mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, noticeably improving over the E-M10 (Mark I), as well as offering a great entry into the OM-D range. The E-M10 Mark II would also make a very good upgrade path for people with the original Olympus OM-D E-M5, with a larger EVF, built in Wi-Fi, and additional shooting features, albeit without the weather-sealing, and for that you would need to upgrade to the more expensive E-M5 Mark II.
The OM-D EM10 Mark 2 is an example of Olympus brining “evolution and revolution” to the table yet again. Having had a good amount of hands on time with the new camera, I think it is safe to say that I am rather smitten and that I will be keeping it with me as my “walk around” camera for the foreseeable future. If you are looking for a small camera to travel with that doesn’t compromise on image quality and has a few creative tricks up it’s sleeve the EM10 Mark 2 is definitely worth checking out.

Panasonic LUMIX GH4 VLog L & Firmware 2.4 Update Process
Lumixlounge got an official Panasonic press info with information about the new firmware 2.4 for the GH4 which fixes the V-LOG leak.
Here is the Press Text:
ACTIVATION ISSUES – LUMIX GH4 V-LOG L WITH FIRMWARE V2.3
Many thanks to those who have recently purchased the LUMIX GH4 V-Log L upgrade. We are aware of an oversight in our Panasonic Image App which allows enabling of V-Log L as a “custom” setting without purchase. This was not our intent, and our apologies for the oversight.
We appreciate the many messages of support for the continuing development of innovative new products and features, and Panasonic intends to stand behind your investment in V-Log L and the LUMIX GH4. Therefore, it’s important to know that future LUMIX GH4 firmware upgrades, including mobile app upgrade pushes, will disable unlicensed activations of V-Log L. In addition, it’s Panasonic’s service policy to upgrade firmware during warranty claims, thereby eliminating unlicensed features. Thank you again for your continued support of Panasonic and the LUMIX G camera system and innovations yet to come.
NOTE
A new firmware V2.4 will be available starting Sept 17th. Use of the V-Log L workaround associated with firmware Version 2.3 runs the risk of the Zebra Function not working and the Histogram reading improperly.

Yesterday Panasonic made a huge mistake and with a simple workaround it was possible for anyone to download the V-LOG update for free. But according to Nick Driftwood that version has incorrectly working Zebras & highlights.

On Olympus Global site you will see the note after the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4 PRO lens: “Planned for launch after 2015“. I recently got rumors saying that the cause of the delay is the addition of in lens stabilization.
