The year 2010 is almost over and I want you to tell me what is the best (Micro-) Four Thirds product Olympus/Panasonic or others have announced. Panasonic unveiled 5 new cameras (I included the not yet available [shoplink 17361]GF2[/shoplink]) and 4 lenses. Olympus released 2 cameras (I don not include the all black E-P2 kit and the E-PL1s) and 4 lenses. We also had the [shoplink 15659]Nokton 25mm[/shoplink] from Voigtländer, the [shoplink 15629]50mm lens[/shoplink] from Noktor (although it looks like you can’t buy the lens anymore) and the [shoplink 14881]35mm SLRmagic lens (available on eBay only)[/shoplink] . Please let me know if I forgot something :)
Now it’s your turn…vote! Feel free to add a comment to explain why you like the camera/lens.

Dear readers! The snowstorm that hit Europe blocked me on an italian highway for 17 hours! I made 70km only between 2pm (Friday) and 7am today. I made the “famous” Bologna-Firenze highway that is well known for it’s danger. I saw many car accidents and I had nothing to eat, and of course no Internet connection to post news and rumors on 43rumors. So please excuse me if I didn’t post anything during the last 20 hours and I beg you a few hours free time because I really need to sleep a little bit. The picture on top has been taken at 8am in the morning in Radda in Chianti (Taken with my “old” but still superb [shoplink 16885]Olympus E-P1[/shoplink] and the new amazing [shoplink 15659]Nokton 25mm[/shoplink]).
Thanks for your understanding! See you later!

For european and asian readers. Sorry if I do continue to post GH2 in Stock news for US readers only. But please do understand that they are not as lucky as we are and they have only a very limited Stock of GH2 cameras. I am trying to help them to get one of those nice cameras! ;)

The Polish site optize.pl tested the [shoplink 17163]Olympus E-5[/shoplink] camera with good results. The final score is 62.82/100. For comparison, the Canon 60D got 59.56 and the Sony A55 got 48.88. We’ll have to wait for the D7000 and K-5 for more direct comparison.
m43photo.blogspot.com compared the new Panasonic [shoplink 16258]14mm lens[/shoplink] with the 14-42mm and the 14-140mm lenses.

DC.watch.impress tested the [shoplink 15659 ebay]Nokton 25mm[/shoplink] on the Olympus E-P2[/shoplink] and the combination looks really good :)
If you scroll at the bottom of the page you can download a few full size images they have taken at f/0.95 aperture.
Meanwhile 3Dkraft made new GH2+Nokton tests and releases a surprising statement: “Another strength is the extreme sharpness that the GH2[/shoplink] with it’s new 16 MP sensor can deliver through this lens which already comes close to the results that I reached when I spent some time with the Leica M9 and two excellent Leica M lenses.” Don’t tell this to your Leica friends…they spent a lot of money for for their cameras and lenses….PSSS! The Leica M9 sells for over 5.400 Euro on [shoplink 17539 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] :(
Of course, at full aperture the lens is not sharp in the corners but stopped down everything looks excellent. And there is a second surprise at the bottom of the post: “Another question I already saw from other users: Is it really f0.95 at fully opened aperture? I have some doubts…” Click here to read more at 3Dkraft!
As you know the lens is sold out almost everywhere. Only german resellers do have one single lens in Stock from time to time. Right now [shoplink 15659 ebay]Fotomundus has one Nokton in Stock on eBay and auction ends in 5 hours (Click here)[/shoplink].
