We are out of business for one day and a half. All three 43rumors writers will have no Internet connection for about 36 hours. Daniel is very busy at work, Hannes is on holidays in France and Alejandro is on a phototrip in the Gobi desert. We should come back right in time for the Panasonic September 1st announcements.

I know you are all waiting for the aftertomorrow Panasonic new camera announcement! To kill some of the waiting time read the next Panasonic camera reviews ;)

Australia Photoreview tested the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 and Ephotozine the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 .

Surprise! I found a new E-3 review.

One of our readers made a very good video with the Panasonic GH1.

Good job!

I am in China now. This is a completely new world for me. The day I arrived in Beijing I went to some big photographic shopping center. I have seen 50-60 different shops selling Nikon and Canon gear. I havn’t found any Panasonic cameras here! Incredible :( 

Olympus cameras are rare and mostly E-P1 cameras. This shows how strong Nikon and Canon brands are, you can see their advertising everywhere. The good news is that the E-P1 seems to sell very well here and maybe this can help Panasonic too….maybe!

P.S.: Interesting, few shops are already selling the new Sony A850 which has been unveiled yesterday! Hope the next Panasonic camera will gain at least halph of the attention given to the new Sony camera!

I am ready for a hole night traintrip to Hohhok. I have to take 100 clouds pictures inside the Gobi desert. I will use both E-P1 and Zenza Bronica for this job. Let’s see which camera can take better pictures ;)

 

cheers,

Ale
