43rumors reader Soo sent me this: Just a quick update on the V-Log update for the GH4, a french website explained that Panasonic will give 50€ back if one order the firmware update between September 20th and November 30th. So the update will cost 49€ if ordered within that period. (don’t know if such offer will be available outside of Europe).

Small PEN curiosity…

As you know Olympus launched the new Global Open Photo Contest. A small tidbit is that the “Grand Prize” is the “Latest Olympus PEN Camera + Lens kit and 1 Million Japanese Yen“.
Just interesting to note they didn’t write E-PL7 but “latest PEN”. maybe this means there is a new PEN coming between now and early 2016?

a bit of everything…

Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1P: Product Overview with Martin Dorey

Olympus Europe is selling a new bunch of refurbished OMD and PEN cameras through their [shoplink 22691 ebay]Olympusmarket eBay store (Click here)[/shoplink].
Pre-Order the New E-M10 MkII and Receive a 5 Year Warranty (Amazon UK).
Lumix 30mm macro review at Mirrorlessons.
Olympus TOUGH TG4 review (Cameralabs).
Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro Lens (Samudranil).
LUMIX G VARIO 35-100mm images smaples at Yodobashi.

Mark: “Virtually everyone reviewing the E-M1 with firmware 3.1 who claims to have tested the focus tracking with legacy 4/3 lenses seems – on a reading of their reviews or looking at their videos – to be unable to use the camera correctly.
Almost all seem to be unaware of the Continious AF with Tracking setting which is designed specifically to follow moving subjects. C-AF is not the optimum setting for this sort of photography (as detailed in the instructions) yet everyone seems to persist in evaluating the camera’s performance based on this erroroneous setting choice.
Using my legacy 4/3 glass (50-200 SWD and 150/2) and C-AF+TR option, the hit rate of sharp shots on erratic movement (show-jumping, soccer, flying birds) is better than 90%.
On any OM-D press OK, tap the AF setting box and turn the front input dial until you see the C-AF+TR option – it is AFTER the C-AF/S-AF+M/C-AF+M options. When you see C-AF+TR touch the shutter and enjoy better action focus performance.“

Panasonic just announced the new Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 lens (and some slightly updated/modified other three lenses). I am not sure how many of you will really buy the new Panasonic prime as most of you already own the Olympus 25mm f/1.8 lens.

But now you will wonder…what’s coming next from Panasonic? Well it’s the Leica DG 100-400mm f/4-6.3 Power O.I.S. Asph.! We just got a whisper form a source saying the lens is scheduled for a Spring release. And that is certainly a much more exciting lens or not? So I am wondering…
