New Olympus E-P5 and Black Lens preorders are up at BHphoto (UPDATE: and Adorama)!

The new stuff still hasn’t been officially announced yet but preorders can already be placed at BHphoto. You can see plenty of pictures and specs too:

E-P5 White at Adorama (Click here), Bhphoto (Click here).
E-P5 Silver at Adorama (Click here), Bhphoto (Click here).
E-P5 Black with 17mm f/1.8 lens and VF-4 at Adorama (Click here), Bhphoto (Click here).
E-P5 Silver with 17mm f/1.8 lens and VF-4 at Adorama (Click here), Bhphoto (Click here).
17mm f/1.8 Black at Bhphoto (Click here).
45mm f/1.8 Black at Bhphoto (Click here).
75mm f/1.8 Black at Bhphoto (Click here).
VF-4 viewfinder at Adorama (Click here), Bhphoto (Click here).

 

Not that in USA only there is not E-P5 with 14-42mm kit option yet. That kit will be available from the start in Europe and Japan only. The bad news is that the body only is a tiny bit too expensive (in my opinion) but there are also two good news: The E-P5 with VF-4 and 45mm lens makes you save $220. And the Black Lenses have exactly the same price as the Silver version.

Photographyblog: “G6 is the best overall compact system camera that Panasonic have yet released”

Share

The new G6 high shoulder design seen before on the [shoplink 38236 ebay]Leica R9 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].

Photographyblog (Click here) posted the first full G6 review and wrote a surprisingly positive conclusion: “In our view the Lumix G6 is the best overall compact system camera that Panasonic have yet released offering a great mix of must-have features, intuitive DSLR-like handling and speedy performance, all at a reasonable price.”

The G6 will ship from late June and preorders are up at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and at Wex UK (Click here).

P.S: The previous generation G5 camera sells for $329 with lens at Groupon (Click here).

Damian Mc GilliCuddy just posted this: “Uncle “Oly” has sent me a nice parcel this week… very smart! I’ll tell more when I’m able ;0)“. Guess what camera they sent him :)

The image on top is the new teaser from Olympus Singapore. But we already know how it looks uncovered :)

Head to Head: E-P5 versus PEN-F.

Share

The Olympus E-P5 will be the first camera with the full “Olympus Pen” definition marked on the front. It’s a clear sign from Olympus that they consider the new E-P5 the real digital [shoplink 37006 ebay]PEN-F[/shoplink]. Too bad they forgot to made the built-in viewfinder that the PEN-F has :) As you know the PEN-F has “porro prism viewfinder” that allowed them to create a very compact camera with viewfinder.

Some of you said that the built-in exclusivity of the OMD range. Just for the record: Last year  Mr. Tarada told at Onfoto (Click here) that “A built-in viewfinder is not exclusive for the OM-D line”.

P.S.: There are still plenty of PEN-F auctions on [shoplink 37006 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
