Samsung-NX-rumors
Another website asiae.co.kr | Google translation reports that Samsung will be closing their camera business unit. They have already stopped any camera/lens development and there will be no more new products announced.

Samsung-shutting-down-their-camera-business
Asiae is an accurate and popular business newspaper in S. Korea.

Last month I reported about another website that reported the exact same thing and Samsung were very quick to deny it.

Many Samsung NX cameras already have up to $500 rebates in the US.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO lens

Olympus-M.ZUIKO-DIGITAL-ED-300mm-f4-IS-PRO-lens
Digicame-info reports that the upcoming Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm f/4 PRO lens will have image stabilization (IS). The lens was announced back in February without the IS part (see prototype picture). The official release date should be coming soon – maybe in the next few months.

Here is the new lens registration at Novocert:
