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,

A new Panasonic GH1 review is out. Letsgodigital made is homework very well. As we already know the GH1 performance is very good. The only real issue is that US stores do not have the in stock :(

Finally we have some classic Four Thirds news. The new E-600 is real and here we have the first four pictures. Click on it and you will enlarge the image.

P.S.: This is not the first leak. few weeks ago we posted this: https://43rumors.com/ft2-olympus-e-600-soon/

 

FourThirds is alive and I bet we will have more new stuff soon… ;)

 

 

Finally availability is becoming better.

For the first time I have seen the Olympus PEN E-P1 with 17mm f/2.8 Lens and Viewfinder (Silver) in stock at amazon. Finally!
