We received one more confirmation from a new source that the E-3 successor will just be a small upgrade of the E-3. So expect a new E-3 with E-30 sensor and some little new features (expect art filters, improved in-body IS and upgraded liveview).

I kindly ask all of our anonymous rumor senders to give me some kind of REAL email which makes it possible to me to answer them. I will keep your email anonymous. You may create a gmail account first using pseudonyms. But thanks anyway for sharing every rumor you have! Many thanks!

1001noisycamera reports in his post that the 14-140mm lens will have a price of 800 pounds. it is a surprisely high pric because this means the body alone price would be around 500 pounds (600 Euro, $800).

I expect the body price to be higher than the calculated 500 pound price…but I hope for you I am wrong :)

This is a rumor coming from photorumors.com.

For film lovers…and Ken Rockwell fans!

I don’t know you but I have never stopped to take pictures with film cameras! May one day I will explain you the reasons why I do this but today I invite you to read the recent Ken Rockwell reviews of two films (both slides).
First we have the Fuji 400x review. I tried the film and I do not like the color rendition. If I have to use 400 ISO I preferr to use the Kodak Portra 400VC or the Fuji Neopan 400 black and white film.

Than we have the Kodak Ektachrome E100G review. I like this film for street photography. I use it a lot!

And if you have time read his very provocative article over film quality against digital photo quality!

I agre with him to 99%!

Remember the best camera is the camera you can carry with you! And if you do not have money but want to be a real photographer buy an old Olympus RC! It is a fantastic camera (with his used price set at only 50$) and at low ISO it beats the image quality of the Nikon D700!
