Rumors summary

Share

We had many rumors and it’s time for a summary

1) By ealry July Panasonic will announce a new camera which will not be comparable with any camera released by Panasonic before. We are not talking about long awaited LX3LX3LX3LX3LX3LX3LX3LX3LX3LX3LX3 successor. The LX4 (or LX5) will be announced late July or before Photokina. And we are not talking about a camera with interchangeable lenses. The sources did not tell us exactly how it will look like but we from 43rumors believe it will be a MicroFourThirds camera with fixed lens (like the Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2Sigma DP2)

2) A bird told me that we should take a close look on this: https://43rumors.com/a-bird-told-me-you-should-look-at-those-pictures-olympus-modular-camera/

3) A Pentax patent created a lot of buzz. Why? The document shows lenses with the same 21.6mm image circle as Micro Four Thirds!

4) According to the swedish magazine Kamerabild Ricoh will release a Ricoh MicroFourThirds modul for their GXR camera in autumn!

5) DSLRphoto wrote a facebook post which says that Tamron could soon make m4/3 lenses.

6) Rumors from others: Samsung is almost ready to launch the new NX100! We found the name of the camera on the Samsung website. There is not more information, but we already know that the NX100 will be a compact camera very similar to the Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1Panasonic GF1!

And now let’s start the new rumors week! ;)

The Farm – Hacked firmware Panasonic GF1 1080p video from mpgxsvcd on Vimeo.

This is a video I took at the farm yesterday with my GF1 and the hacked 1080p MJPEG firmware. I used a minolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manualminolta 35-70mm F2.5-3.5 Macro manual manual focus lens.
The lens definitely could use IS for the macro videos. I only wish they made this lens in an m4/3s mount. It is a truly fantastic lens and it only costs $20!
