Panasonic financial report: System Camera sales increased.

Share

Panasonic just released the full first quarter financial results (pdf file here). The first good news is that Panasonic is writing black numbers and recovering from the crisis they had the past years (just like any other electronic company had).

There is no much info about the Digital camera Business but the news are good:

Although sales in Europe were down due to weaker sales in TVs and DSCs as well as the impact of political instability in Ukraine, sales in the other regions increased from last year.
…
In the challenging businesses such as DSCs and mobile phones, profitability improved due to the impact of new products and cutbacks in products.

Debunking rumors from others: There is no Full Frame OMD coming at Photokina.

Share

Since yesterday you can see links posted on forums (and even on my comment system) to rumor/news sites that claims to know that Olympus will launch a Full Frame OMD.

Well, of course you can never be 100% sure on any rumor (not even on 43rumors). But as far as I heard this is completely fake!!! I know I am not spectacular when I say this but as far as I heard Olympus will “only” announce an E-PL7 and probably a Silver E-M1 is going to be announced at photokina (among some great PRO lenses).

That said of course I would love to get a Full Frame version of the OMD. That’s why for once I posted a FT1 rumor months ago to keep dreaming a bit… :)

Hagen (video on top): “I have so much fun with the GH4/slowmo feature – I just have to share. It´s not for pixel peepers since I don´t spend much time for optimizing YT quality. But I thought it´s a nice demo how 1:4 looks in practice. I love those gymnastics girls!”
