UPDATE:
The superdeal on Amazon (Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens for $649.99)
One of our readers also sent us an info where he says that also in Japan the price dropped to 48,500 yen (about $570 USD). Plz send me the link to the store ;)
I didn’t find any big price drop in Europe :(
UPDATE: A very good deal in Holland. 599 Euro for the GF1 with 14-45mm lens at Fotoquelle.nl
Let’s start with the most unlikely but also more fascinating rumor: Canon and Samsung are planning to enter the medium format market. Time to dream a digital mirrorless Mamiya 7? (Mirrorlessrumors / Canonrumors)
Pentax will release a mirrorless camera at Photokina (Mirrorlessrumors).
Nikon new mirrorless camera patent but no camera at Photokina? (Mirrorlessrumors / Nikonrumors).
No new Sony NEX camera at Photokina (SonyAlphaRumors)
New Samsung NX100 leaked (Photorumors)
Dpreview posted a 4 pages long review of the new Panasonic G10. They have some mixed feelings regarding the camera…

Letsgodigital tested the new [shoplink 14800]Olympus 14-150mm[/shoplink] lens: http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/26746/olympus-lens-review/. Their conclusions? On a Olympus body: “For every other photographer, it is recommended for easy and relaxed photography!“. If you own a Panasonic MFT camera than you will lack IS (Image Stabilization).
Alphamountworls also wrote a nice Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 Review: http://www.alphamountworld.com/reviews/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-review. Cgarrard has some mixed feelings regarding the G1 but he amdits that “I grab the G1 quite often right now.“.
We know that specs and features is what we are looking for but it would be also “nice” to know the real name of the next Panasonic cameras! A new source contacted us to say that Panasonics new GF camera will be called GF3 and not GF2!
That sounds very likely because few months ago Imaging Resource had a chance to talk with Yoshiyuki Inoue (senior camera planner from Panasonic Corporation). Adn he said that the GH3 or a GF3 may having different AF in movies…
So may we should call them GF3 and GH3!
Reminder: There is a superdeal ongoing at Amazon -> Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens for $649.99 (click here to buy the camera now!)
