As you know Olympus will release the new firmware for MicroFourThirds Pen cameras on April 22.
Lori Grunin from CNET had the chance to test the firmware. The good news is that they measured “22 percent improvement in shot lag”
They also tested the autofocus performance of the new Olympus 9-18mm

Well, why did she test the firmware on 9-18? Other reviews ALREADY pointed that the AF speed is very fast with that lens even BEFORE the firmware update. What about the AF with the existing lenses: 14-42mm and the 17mm prime?
How to install the software if i have no Windows PC? I have a Mac. Can i load the Firmware and install it on Mac OS X, too?
does the new firmware give any additional attributes? like manual control for video on the e-p1?
Ole: You can update the firmware on mac using Olympus Master through USB.
