A day in Montmartre – [Panasonic Lumix GH3] from emeric on Vimeo.

Some little news about the GH3:

Our friends from Hybridcams shot that nice video with the GH3. Thanks for sharing! And our reader Twills sent me this: “The Panasonic GH3 specs page is being constantly updated as the firmware is finalized. The shutter duration spec did not specify a “Bulb” mode time limit before. Now it says it goes up to Approx. 60 minutes. That is great news as the GH2 is limited to 128 seconds in Bulb mode:
Still Images: 1/4,000 – 60 and Bulb (Approx. 60 minutes)
Motion Images: 1/16,000 – 1/30 (NTSC), 1/16,000 – 1/25 (PAL)
Keep an eye on the page below to see what else is updated when the firmware is finally complete.

GH3 preorders at Amazon , Adorama, Bhphoto, Panasonic US, Samys and in Europe at Wexphotographic UK and Technikdirekt.

(FT2) Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 to be in Stock in mid 2013 only?

A lens with similar Olympus specs is the [shoplink 34999 ebay]Sigma 50-150mm[/shoplink].

As I told you before I expect Olympus to announce the new 40-150mm f/2.8 lens in January. Now Miranda forum user Forist DIS Ottawa writes, “For what it’s worth, I was at an imaging show today and two Olympus reps confirmed that a 40-150mm f2.8 lens will be coming next year. They said it appears on a list of confirmed future products. They didn’t have any further details but expect it won’t be available until the middle of next year at the earliest.”

I have no details about price and size of the lens yet. But the only similar lens I know is the Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 which costs around $1100 ([shoplink 34999 ebay]here on eBay[/shoplink]). I hope the lens isn’t as big as that one!

There is still a place on earth where you can buy a new GF1 :)

Share
[shoplink 34988 ebay][/shoplink] I still remember the day when the Panasonic GF1 was announced. It was September 2 2009 and I was sitting in a Hotel in China (close to Hohhot). It was a game challenging camera, a dream come true. A camera that quickly grabbed the heart of many photographers. Now the GF1 is discontinued and forgotten on the photography news site. But a 43rumors reader found a place where you can buy them new in box…in UK! The Silver GF1 is for sale at [shoplink 34995 ebay]TheTechLodge (Click here)[/shoplink] while display GF1 versions sold by TheWhiteGroup in [shoplink 34991 ebay]Black (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 34992 ebay]Red (Click here)[/shoplink]. It may be not a deal to grab, but after such a long time I thought it would be nice to remind you of a glorious camera! And you have to read the best GF1 review written by Craig Mod  (Click here)!
