(FT4) Samyang is likely going to announce a 50mm f/1.2 prime on August 26.

Share

A couple of weeks ago I told you that Samyang will soon launch the 50mm f/1.5 lens for the Micro Four Thirds system. And now according to CanonWatch Samyang will also launch a 50mm Cine lens with a crazy f/1.2 aperture (for many different mounts). The lens will be of very high quality for a very low price. This is a good news for all GH4 owners and video shooters amongst us!

P.S.: There are already many MFT Cine lenses from Samyang/Rokinon and a list can be seen at Bhphoto (Click here).

E-PL7 vs E-P3 size comparison….

Share

Olympus will announce the E-PL7 on August 30 and it will be the only real new camera (there will be a new E-M1 Silver edition too). A 43rumors reader sent me this size comparison picture between the E-Pl7 and the E-P3.

I am wondering what will happen now with the Olympus E-PM and E-P line…

Film Director Nabil Fathi says E-M1 firmware with 4K is coming….but I believe it’s not :(

Share

Nabil Fathi tweeted that Olympus will add 4K to the E-M1. Important to note is that he tweeted this on August 13. Days before I posted the rumor I got from a new and yet non-trusted source.

The real interesting thing is that Olympus official twitter account favorited his tweet! It doesn’t mean anything yet, it’s certainly not a prove this is coming for real but it’s an interesting coincidence. For now let’s stick to what one of my trusted sources said yet. E-M1 firmware is indeed coming but he said there is no 4K video recording feature coming.

I repeat it again, for now 43rumors doesn’t believe this 4k firmware will happen! I just wanted to point out the strange rumors I got and that as you see not only I am getting!

(FT4) GH4 firmware update will allow some sort of “RAW” video recording (on external recorders).

Share

A highly trusted source told me Panasonic will release a new GH4 firmware update soon. Likely along the new GM2 (4K camera) release. I have no detailed info about the new freatures and fixes but I have been told the firmware will add RAW video recording (on external recorders).

In the meantime other sources confirmed there will be a new E-M1 firmware update too. it will be big but like I told you the past days it’s highly unlikely it will add 4K video recording.
