Photo Rumors

One possibility for Panasonic could be a new GH2 camera with more advanced video features and maybe even global shutter which if true would eliminate the “jello effect”.

Tamron explores the possibility of producing Micro Four Thirds lenses

By PR admin | Published: June 16, 2010

DSLR magazine wrote on their facebook wall that Tamron is exploring the possibility of manufacturing lenses for the Micro Four Thirds system:

Translation:

“Finally! Tamron begins to explore the possibility of manufacturing lenses for Micro Four Thirds system. What can I say? … I told you so!”

The only problem with this rumor is that Sony is a major shareholder of Tamron and is questionable whether they will support any m4/3 lens development (Sony owns 11.08% of Tamron).

Focusnumerique reported on twitter that Pentax 645D will be coming to Europe with a price tag of 10,000 EUR. This is not really a surprise since the 645D was listed on Pentax UK website and showed up on a Polish online store few weeks ago. There are still no plans to introduce the medium format camera to the US.

Amazon Japan is already selling the Pentax 645D – shipping in 2-3 weeks.

Adobe Lightroom for the iPad: “tougher than one might think”

By PR admin | Published: June 12, 2010

Over a month ago Terry White gave a hint on his blog that a Adobe Lightroom might be coming to the iPad. Yesterday John Nack (Principal Product Manager, Adobe Photoshop) indicated on his blog that Lightroom for the iPad is not going to be an easy task to accomplish:

“Building a great iPad app for mobile photo review, editing, and sharing is (presently) tougher than one might think, but customer desire is very clear.”
