DxOmark (Click here) just published the Panasonic G5 sensor score. The full test report should be posted soon. As you see from the image on top DxO still has to post the E-M5 results which they once unveiled to be “surprising”. Can’t wait to see this!
Panasonic G5 search links at [shopcountry 32274].
Olympus redesigned the website and honestly this looks so much better than before! Check it out at http://getolympus.com/. Also the Matching Simulation (Click here) has been updated. But I don’t like the fact that they removed the nice lens overview we had before. Now you have to select the manufacturer and lens category before to get to a small range of lenses. I liked to see them all. Still missing is the possibility to see larger images of the camera and lens combination.
EOSHD – Panasonic GH3 test footage shot at Photokina 2012 from Andrew Reid on Vimeo.
EosHD posted and analyzed the pre-production video quality: “Dynamic range, noise grain and colour are improved big-style. I feel rolling shutter is less of an issue too. But fine details are not as stable as they were on the GH2 in this pre-production camera. Detail is superb, but if the pitch of texture is fine enough to invoke aliasing and moire you will get the instability I mentioned.”
There is also a new Panasonic interview at DC.watch. And once again Panasonic admitted that they are “thinking Full Frame” as a possibility for the future.
P.S.: Hands-on at Digitalcamerareview. Panasonic GH3 Multi Aspect Ratio Demo on Youtube.

After Amazon (Click here) also BHphoto lowered the price of the Panasonic 12-35mm X lens (Click here). And if you recently bought that lens at BH you may receive a $200 cashback if you ask them to give it to you!

The 42.5mm f/1.2 and 150mm f/2.8 Panasonic prototype lens (Image courstesy “H.B.”).
I am a bit surprised Sigma and Tamron still didn’t show any new m43 lens. Anyway, a total of twelve lenses (some are protptypes only) have been announced at Photokina. We have the new SLRmagic manual lenses, the amazing three Schneider AF lenses for less than 1500 Euro, the new BIG lens and of course the Panaosnic and Olympus lenses. Now we all want to know from you:

I am so curious to see the results!

Robin Wong (Click here) posted the first full Olympus 60mm macro review (Preorder at Amazon, Adorama Bhphoto). He compared the lens quality to the 50mm f/2.0 FT lens and said “the 60mm F2.8 lens is sharper“. De facto that shapr that “Moiré pattern has become an issue for a few photographs that I have taken“. Read the full review to get an idea about the quality of the lens. What I like most about the review are the pictures. They are so amazing that it almost makes me think why I never liked macro photography until today :) Also Zuikoholics posted the first part of the 60mm macro review.
Lens preorders are up at Amazon, Adorama Bhphoto.
So, we are talking about lenses so let me catch up with a link to the 12-35mm X lens review posted by Photozone (Click here): “The lens is, undoubtedly, a good one but not stellar. It is chili-sharp in the image center but the border region isn’t quite on this level in the lower focal length range.” No mistake, Photozone says it’s a very good lens but maybe not as top good as expected form a lens in this price range.
