(FT5) New Panasonic 100-300mm and 3D lens specs

Share

We just received that image with the new Panasonic 100-300mm and 3D lens specifications. The only thing we miss here is the price. But let’s hope the lens is cheaper than the new Olympus 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 ($899!!!). .

UPDATE: Kenmorecamera says the lens costs $599!

Interesting the Panasonic 3D lens has a fixed f/12 aperture!

Keep following us! Panasonic will announce the GH2, the 14mm, the 100-300mm and the 3D lens on Tuesday 21!

Quick deals:
– Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 Lens in Stock at Amazon for $336 only
– Olympus 9-18mm in Stock at Amazon for $591

There are many new rumors from the competititon and I made you a quick recap!

2) Does Leica have „one more thing“ for photokina? (Mirrorlessrumors). 43rumors thoughts: I don’t believe Leica will bring an EVIL camera.

3) Mirrorless will outsell DSLRs by 2012/2013 says Samsung (Mirrorlessrumors). 43rumors thoughts: They are just shouting :)

4) New Samsung lens roadmap (Mirrorlessrumors). 43rumors thoughts: Nice lenses!

5) Mr. Hamada from Hoya-Pentax says about mirrorless: “we would like to release products with an individuality that shines through” (via Mirrorlessrumors). 43rumors thoughts: Let’s wait Photokina!

(FT5) First Panasonic GH2 picture

Share

Finally we have the first image of the Panasonic GH2! The deisgn is closer to the current [shoplink 14834]Panasonic G2[/shoplink] than the older [shoplink 14826]Panasonic GH1[/shoplink].

The GH2 has following specs:
– 18 Megapixels multiscale sensor (16 effective Megapixels)
– 100-12.800 ISO (But I dont know how it takes the 12.800 ISO pictures)
– 1080i60 24Mbit/s AVCHD video recording
– The GH2 has one LSI with three cores (instead of current two cores of the GH1)
– Improved AF speed (0.099 second with the [shoplink 14802]14-140mm[/shoplink] kit-lens)
– High-speed burst shooting of 5 fps with 16 MP
– Super high-speed burst shooting of 40 fps (lower resolution)
– Touch screen LCD
– announced 21 September at photokina
(FT3)Two new sources just told us the camera has real 1080p60 output “masked” as 1080i60. This because AVCHD specification does not include 1080p60. You have to set it to 60p (manually) in Final Cut (or other editing software). This rumor has to be confirmed by our sources so take it with a grain of salt!

Follow 43rumors until the September 21 announcement! We will update this website with all last minute rumors, leaks and camera reviews! Be sure to not miss any news. Join on Facebook and Twitter. Subscribe our RSS feed. Thanks!

Reminder -> Rumors classification explained (FT= FourThirds):
FT1=1-20% chance the rumor is correct
FT2=21-40% chance the rumor is correct
FT3=41-60% chance the rumor is correct
FT4=61-80% chance the rumor is correct
FT5=81-99% chance the rumor is correct

If specs are correct (1080p60 included) and real image quality ok will you buy the GH2?
