Good morning!

First, we have some technical issues (again). That’s why we deactivated some website plugins. In the next days we will try to fix the problems forever.

By the way, my flight had a 3 hour delay and I only arrived at home at one o clock.  I woke up at 6am to go to work. So give me a little more time to write the E-P1 rumor summary, I have to sleep now :)

Imaging Resource came up with a review of the Panasonic GH1 video features

There is a Pentaxforum thread where people discuss the E-P1. It is interesting to see how non-four thirds people react to the E-P1!

———-

Trusted reviews tested the Sigma DP2.

That’s all!

Olympus DSLRs hold both the top spots in the computerbild.de camera rankings. Here cameras are not ranked purely by image quality/sensor performance, but also by usability, portability and consumer-suitability.

Enjoy your day!

It seems Leica is going with the D-lux 4 the same way as the Leica 8.2. After the Titan version it s the time of the Safari D-Lux4 ersion. When can you buy it? Probably starting from August and a very Leica price…1.000$! But remember the production will be limited to 6.000 pieces only.

Photographyblog.com had a crack at the e-620 and awarded it their highest certification. A quote from their conclusion:

“It’s one of the cheapest and most full-featured mid-range SLR cameras, with great ease-of use, compact size and light weight, and excellent image quality in good light. This camera certainly lives up to its official billing as “The Olympus E-620: All our knowledge in one”, and is our pick of the current range of Olympus DSLRs.”

The Panasonic GH1 (Black) with LUMIX G 14-140mm Lens is available at amazon.uk for £1,289.90 and usually dispatched within 4 to 5 days.

Beware this is probably a fake concept render of the first Samsung NX camera. What’s interesting is the clear rangefinder design with an EVF positioned on the top left of the body, like the porro prism viewfinders of the e-300/e-330 .
Anyway the real camera will be released in a few months. It will be interesting to see what Samsung (and of course Panasonic) will have to offer against the E-P1. The competition is on!
