The current “official” Olympus roamdap doens’t include a wide prime lens info…yet.

An anonymous (yet not trusted) source sent me the info about a possible new MFT lens:

Olympus.9mm F2.8.
8 elements in 7 groups.
Plastic and metal.
Distance markers.
No snapshot manual focus control.
No focus-by-wire.
Compact for competition.
¥91,000
Announcement forthcoming.

Would be great if true!!!

Ray:Your readers might be interested in how well the Olympus E-M1 performs when it comes to aerial photography, especially from a helicopter. This is a job I did not long ago and the E-M1 was a stellar performer thanks in part to the IBIS: http://australianimage.com.au/wordpress/?p=517.

New FZ1000 finally shipping in Japan. Bogus price at Amazon…$9,999!

Share

The FZ1000 is now officially shipping in Japan through Amazon JP or [shoplink 47139 ebay]Japanese eBay sellers[/shoplink]. And a third party reseller is trying to sell the camera for $9,999(!) at Amazon US (click here to see it). Hope nobody will buy it for mistake :(

The FZ1000 is the cheapest 4K (larger sensor) photocamera on the market. Let’s hope for Panasonic it becomes a real big hit! And I bet future entry level Panasonic MFT cameras will feature 4K video recording too…
