Dear readers,

as you may have noticed I added a new camera deals grid. The list shows you all the best camera-lens-accessoires offers which I receive from our shop-partners. I hope you find it interesting for you!

Buying a product by clicking the product- or logo link will help me to cover the monthly server costs and to sustain my daily 43rumors work.

Many thanks you all!

(Updated) – (FT 4) chinese rumors?

Share

UPDATE:

rumor 1: “It seems the Olympus m4/3 is bigger than the Canon G10

rumor2:  “I’m not sure first that there is no built-in flash, but they are testing with external flash ..

UDPATE2: A chinese reader (Alsene) sent us a summary from the thread:

1. This lucky guy was a vendor of Olympus.
2. He saw Olympus engineers were testing the M43 camera and compared to normal DC.
3. The M43 was attached with variable focal lens (14_?), not pancake one and external flash. It is not aware if built in flash existed.
4. It is like a big DC compared to G10.
5. Another discussion told who wants to buy GH1 should wait a moment. Olympus M43 was an excellent one

It seems some fortunate chinese guy had the chance to play with the Olympus MicroFourThirds camera. We tried to use google translation but it doesn’t work very well. Can some chinese reader translate the most important part of the following discussion?
