New 43rumors theme update!

Share

We finally managed to make a small update on the 43rumors theme. Right in time before Christmas and before my baby will keep me away from 43rumors for a few days :)

So what changed?
1) We reduced the width of the website to allow a better reading experience on tablets. The latest comments and related posts can now be seen on the bottom of each article. Twitter and Facebook like and retweet buttons are on top of the main title. And surfing on the iPhone and Android cellulars shoudl also work flawlessly.
2) The contact form to Share rumors and news is now smaller and attached on the border of your browser.
3) Top Links to Fuji rumors and Slidoo have been added. Fujirumors is actually written by my close friend Patrick. He writes in a completely different style than me and has a more journalistic (and complete) style.

Some more hints about MirrorlessRumors and Slidoo:
If the baby permits it I will for the first time realize a long (very long) dream of mine. Mirrorlessrumors will become a completely new website. It should become a place where we can collectively write news and share stories realized with our mirrorless cameras. It is the “story” part that drives me to make the change. In these years I met many good filmmakers and photographers doing great work with mirrorless cameras. That should hopefully become the place where we can share this experience. That idea of a website is also much closer to what I really am. It will be a long work and as soon as the website will be online I will need your help to make it better any day.

Make it better any day is also the slogan for Slidoo.com. The ebay search and notification tool that will soon be extended to amazon. Keep in mind that this is an officially approved ebay APP. We have 100% full access. In these weeks we did a lot of bug fix work on the notification part and added some small features (like the markings on newly added products). One of the major new features will be the category addition (coming in January). For the full presentation of the website read that article on 43rumors.

So that’s it. Now let me take a few hours of sleep before I go back on rumor work. Want to see if that E-M5 firmware update is really coming this week! :)

Panasonic GH3 Review Part 7: GH3 Demobbed from Nick Driftwood on Vimeo.

Nick just sent me the link to his latest video (Thanks!). It’s definitely the funniest GH3 vs GH2 video comparison ever made :)

And the first GH3 battery grip are now in Stock and shipping at [shoplink 35553 ebay]Handbdig (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 35549 ebay]Kenmorecamera (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. Also in Stock is the DMW-MS2 Stereo Shotgun at [shoplink 35554 ebay]Handbdig (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. All stuff found via Slidoo GH3 search (CLick here).

And I have a correction to report. Our Japanese readers pointed out an error in the google translation tool on the Panasonic press release. The Gh3 body has been delayed by two weeks but the GH3 kits will ship in December (not in May as stated by Google translation)! That is a huge difference! (Source: DC.watch).

GH3 store links and in Stock status check:
12-35mm GH3 kit: Wex UK, Wex DE, [shoplink 35309 ebay]Photoexpress UK[/shoplink], FotoHansKeuzekamp (NL),

Vote the Panasonic/Olympus camera of the year!

Share

Early 2013 sounds quite promising for us. The first half of the year we expect the release of the new GF5 and G5 successor along a new kind of PEN made by Olympus and maybe a new OMD too. I am still not sure if the GX1 successor is coming In February or in late 2013. So before to get into the next rumor storm we may decide what MFT camera was the most exciting event release of the year 2012.

Take time to think and pick up the one camera that is the most important addition to the system.

The camera of the year 2012 is the...

Ballade in Louvain-la-Neuve, with the GH3 from Nicolas Degrave on Vimeo.

First test video by Outbackphoto. 72mbps all-i. test shot with the Nokton 25mm on vimeo. Snow video are ideal to check the dynamic range (vimeo).

By the way, I am getting feed-backs from dealers saying the GH3 is a very highly requested camera. Particularly in Europe. Hpe the production delay in Japane will not delay the good sales start!

Check the GH3 availability by clicking those links: [shopcountry 33624] and on Slidoo.
