For the first time the Panasonic GF3X kit (with 14-42mm X lens) is in Stock at Amazon US (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). The price is $749.95. The upcoming GX1X (with 14-42mm X lens) should cost around $250-300 more.
And the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 lens is back in Stock at BHphoto (Click here).
And here are the next “rumors” about the Panasonic GX1. We have been told by tops sources that the camera body will officially be priced at 600 Euro. That’s 200 Euro more than the price of the current [shoplink 23109]Panasonic GF3[/shoplink] and 50 Euro more than the [shoplink 23109]Sony NEX-5n[/shoplink]. But it’s likely that the street price will be a little less than 600 Euro. The GX1 + 14-42mm X lens kit will be priced at 999 Euro. The lens alone costs around 430 Euro and getting the kit would save you 30 Euro. Not that much.

SLR Magic HyperPrime 12mm F1.6 Test from Bob Gundu on Vimeo.
Digital-photography-school (Click here) posted a full Olympus E-PL3 review: “very sharp pictures and excellent colour rendition.With noise and artefacts the camera is OK all the way to ISO 3200, with ISO 6400 showing trouble. By ISO 12,800 … forget it.”

There is also a new Olympus E-PM1 review at Digitalcamerareview (Click here): “If you’re already shooting a PEN camera you’ll be the best judge of whether the latest generation brings enough to the table to get you to move into a new body. If you’re looking to acquire your first mirrorless interchangeable lens model the field is getting more crowded with brands and models, but the PM1 offers some fairly impressive performance at a fairly bargain price“.

Jut woke up and there is the leak of the new Panasonic-GX1 at Mobile01 (Update: Pictures have been removed!). Or click on the thumbnails below to see more full size GX1 images.
It looks more like the [shoplink 14828 ebay]Panasonic GF1[/shoplink] than the [shoplink 26385 ebay]Panasonic LC1[/shoplink]. Actually only the grip reminds me a bit the LC1. I hope sooner or later Panasonic or Olympus will also take a look at the competition, like the [shoplink 19929]Fuji X100[/shoplink] or [shoplink 25396]Sony NEX-7[/shoplink]. I mean, after almost three years you can try to do something else or not? :)
Anyway, for now we know that the camera will be announced on November 8 in Japan. It will come along a new 1.44k dot external viewfinder (tiltable). It has a 16 Megapixel sensor, 12.800 ISO and a 460k LCD screen (non tiltable). It will have a new processing engine no more JPEG motion recording and be slightly smaller than the GF1. Be sure to be here on 43rumors.com on November 8! I will follow the announcement live and give you all updates you need. And don’t forget to join us on Twitter and Facebook (new fanpage!).
Loading ...P.S: Thanks to the 32 people sending me the link to mobile01 from 2am to 6am i the night here at Berlin time. I was sleeping and what woke me up was not a sixth sense for a coming rumor but a REAL earthquake here in the middle of the alps!

Our friend Seb Farges posted another nice video using the GH2 with the tiny [shoplink 25880 ebay]Berthiot anamorphic 2X[/shoplink] lens and the [shoplink 25881 ebay]C-mount Fujian 35mm f/1.7[/shoplink] lens. Well done Seb! Also Andre Reid from EosHD is a big fan of anamorphic lenses. And you should absolutely check his newly written EOSHD Panasonic GH2 Shooter’s Guide!
P.S.: Search links for the Berthiot anamorphic 2X on [shoplink 25880 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] and for the C-mount Fujian on [shoplink 25881 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
The very first white GF3 with 14-42mm X as kit lens is in Stock at Panasonic store USA (Click here). Most of you will be interested in the lens only (like I am) and this might be a good sign that the lens will soon be in Stock.
And than there is a huge error I have to report. A reader contacted me to say that Amazon is selling the older Four Thirds Panasonic 25mm lens as a Micro Four Thirds Lens (Click here to see the amazon page with the error). I know many of you are waiting to see the REAL m43 lens in Stock so be warned! Don’t let you fool!
