Last week we told you Panasonic and Leica probably made an agreement to produce new MicroFourThirds lenses. Probably this will be a Panasonic branded lens, made using the unbeaten Leica tecnology.

The first lens that will be released is “rumored” to be the Leica 30mm f1.4 lens. We will have to wait at least until December before the official announcement.

We all hope to have a tiny not too expensive high quality lens!

What kind of improvements or new features do you want to see for the E-P3? (select a maximum of three options)

• Better sensor (High-ISO, Resolution etc)
• Kodak sensor (no more dependence from Panasonic)
• More Megapixels 14+
• Built-in EVF
• Faster Autofocus
• Weatherproof body
• Some gimmicks like Panoramic photo, new HDR features and more Art Filters.
• Better usability (menu and buttons)
• Built-in Flash
• High-quality body (no plastic feeling)
• Price: Cheaper than the actual E-P2.
