Norway will end up only with one Pentax DSLR (K7)?

By PR admin | Published: June 4, 2009

The confusion about the different Pentax product lines continues. Just few days after the official statement from Pentax UK, the Norwegian importer Aronsen states that it will no longer acquire any K20D and offer the K7 instead. The Km is also on the way out, which along with the phasing out of the K200D would mean that in Norway Pentax would only have the K7 in their line-up, unless they launch a new DSLRs this year.

Olympus E-P1 (Micro Four Thirds)

Some info on the next Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus: it will be named E-P1. The confusion here is that two years ago Olympus already had a prototype with the name E-P1. We should know more in the next two weeks, prior to the official announcement.

Here is another screenshot from slrclub for Olympus camera model E-P1:

And one more on the future of the Apple camera

By PR admin | Published: May 30, 2009

Update: iPhone 3.0 may have an autofocus camera.

After the first post about the future of the Apple digital camera, I came across those job postings – I know, they are mainly for the iPhone, but I still think that Apple is paying too much attention to the camera portion of their products lately:

Of course Apple will not replace your DSLR anytime soon, but your p&s may be in serious trouble. The next generation of iPod Nano is rumored to be equipped with a digital camera.
