Received following rumor from a unknown source. So don’t count on it until I get more infos from one of our most reliable sources…

Sounds like BS.
sounds good.
Looks like someone’s best guess rather than a reasonable spec.
That aside, it’s been real quiet on the Olympus front for a while. Should be ticking towards an E-3 replacement, an additional Pen and a 5xx series replacement.. let alone any new lenses. Bit too quiet really..
too fantastic to be true… by the way, is gf1’s sensor global shutter?
sounds like “good” “bs” ! …and no to the gh1 ques
Probably not true
BUT if it is , it brings a VERY IMPORTANT question :
How many cameras can Panasonic announce before they can ACTUALLY have one available ? 🙂 🙂
sounds too good to be true
was thinking maybe i should get the canon G11
maybe i’ll just wait a few more month and see…
“midnight purple” lol
I wish someone would sell a m4/3 version of the Digilux 3/DMC-L1.
Manual settings for aperture and shutter???
