(FT2) Olympus E-PL1s coming on November 16?

Share
[shoplink 14832][/shoplink] The popular japanese website Digicame-info.com writes that the new Olympus E-PL1s might be announced on November 16. That camera should have almost the same [shoplink 14832]Olympus E-PL1[/shoplink] design but be paired with a new Lens-kit taht could be smaller than the current 14-42mm lens. So after the black E-P2 kit and the infrared E-PL1 will we get another NOT new camera? But let’s focus on the positive aspect…we could get a new lens ;)

The Olympus E-PL1 has been announced in February 2010, the [shoplink 14830]Olympus E-P2[/shoplink] in November 2009.

Uh one more thing, get the refurbished E-P1 for $369.95 only at Adorama!

Dpreview just posted the new Canon 60D review. The good news is that they compared the noise perofrmance with “our” new Panasonic GH2: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos60d/page11.asp. It’s doing pretty well! Maybe we should not pay to much attention at what DxOmark says :)

For out japanese readers: Ascii.jp posted a GH2 review!

New Voigtländer 25mm f/0.95 review and image samples.

Share

Mike Kobal posted a new set of image samples taken at f/0.95 aperture only! (http://www.mikekobal.com/blog/?p=869). Those are very nice and sharp images! It has much better results than my [shoplink 15629]Noktor 50mm f/0.95[/shoplink] :)

Soundimageplus posted the first part of his [shoplink 15659]Voigtländer 25mm f/0.95[/shoplink] review and those are some of their key findings:
– I was concerned that I may have problems focusing at f/0.95 but these fears proved unfounded.
– This lens focuses to just over 6″ or 17 CM. This is INCREDIBLY useful.
– The Bokeh is “Incredible“.
– I’ve detected very little CA and fringing

I just checked eBay again and there are [shoplink 15659]Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 [/shoplink]three shops from Hong Kong and Germany selling the lens (Click here)[/shoplink]. Worldwide shipment!
