Olympus is hiding something, literally

By PR admin | Published: January 26, 2010

This screenshot was taken from the Olympus US website. I am really confused, because if Olympus releases a new E-P3, it will mean that the m4/3 line is on a less than 6 months life cycle (E-P2 was announced on November 5th 2009, E-P1 on June 16th 2009).

Panasonic ZS-7, ZR-3 and TS2 also official

By PR admin | Published: January 26, 2010

Another set of previously rumored cameras just materialized. As I mentioned before, replacement of the LX3 camera is not expected at that point, however I do believe that a new G model may be introduced in the next week.

What to expect @ PMA 2010

By PR admin | Published: January 24, 2010

PMA 2010 is one of the major photography related shows in the US. This year the event will take place in Anaheim, California from February 21-23.

Many new photography products will be announced prior and during PMA. Here is a brief recap on what to expect based on previously reported rumors (click on each link for the corresponding article):

Panasonic: two point and shoot models and a Lumix G replacement.

Olympus: multiple point and shoot cameras, nothing else.

Pentax: three new compact cameras with some interesting design.

Sony: series of point and shoot cameras and α700 replacement.

Ricoh: new CX2 camera and a new 28-300 GXR lens.

Samsung: a new k-mount for the Samsung NX-10 is expected, don’t have any other information at that point.

Tamron: maybe two new lenses (“maybe” because the announcement could be after PMA).

Hasselblad: a new service for photographers should be announced.

Fuji: maybe a new m4/3 EVIL model, otherwise some new digital and maybe film cameras.

Leica: nothing for PMA, but expect a new 35mm Summilux M lens in March and some new compact cameras (fyi: Leica is not attending PMA 2010).

Canon: 1Ds4 and 60D and maybe three new lenses. Canon should have an announcement on February 9th.

Nikon: well, I have a whole blog for that – too much to mentioned it all here, but Coolpix S8000, Coolpix P100, Coolpix S3000 and Coolpix S8000 are expected.

By PR admin | Published: January 24, 2010

An update on the last Pentax rumors: those images were briefly displayed on a retailer website today and then were quickly removed but thanks to Google cache, I was able to retrieve them – here are the Pentax Optio L10 and Pentax Optio H90 looking good:

There was a third template for another Pentax camera but the image was not downloadable.
