Olympus OM-D SLR (EM-5) photos leak out – and it looks fabulous

As long-time Olympus OM SLR fans, we’ve been very excited by rumours of a forthcoming high end Olympus OM-D Micro Four Thirds camera.

As long-time Olympus OM SLR fans, we’ve been very excited by rumours of a forthcoming high end Olympus OM-D Micro Four Thirds camera.

If you were to ask us what our favourite camera ever was, we’d have the answer in a jiffy: the Olympus OM2n.

Olympus has divvied up the pricing details of its tres compact Olympus E-PM1 Micro Four Thirds camera, which also regales under the name of the PEN Mini.

We’re very much liking the sleek, shiny lines of Olympus’s new E-PL3 12-megapixel FourThirds format camera, and if your wallet has been making involuntary convulsions in its direction, we can now reveal the all-important price.

Busting out of Chez Olympus just in time for summer is the company’s new top-of-the-range Olympus PEN E-P3 Micro Four Thirds system camera.

Served up in a range of smart colours and sporting a curvaceous design that may give some traditionalists the shudders, Panasonic has taken the wraps off their new shiny new Lumix GF3 Micro Four Thirds camera.

Panasonic has unveiled its new DMC-G3 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, packing a beefier sensor in a smaller body.

There should be some joyful whoopin’ and a-hollerin’ coming from owners of Olympus and Panasonic Micro Four Third cameras with the news that lens making maestros Carl Zeiss have joined the gang.

Olympus has released its new Micro Four-Thirds camera, the PEN E-PL2, which adds a slew of improvements over the original PEN E-PL1 while retaining its pleasing old-school, retro looks.

Panasonic has officially launched the Lumix GF2 Micro Four Thirds camera, a smaller and lighter follow up to its well-rated GF1 camera offering interchangeable lens.

Panasonic has unveiled the latest member of its Micro Four Thirds G-series gang, the the Panasonic GH2, which supersedes the GH1.

Currently sizzling away on the 43rumors site are some hot rumours of a mini-flurry of new Olympus camera-related launches coming up.

We’ve loved the look of Olympus’s stunning E-P1, E-P2 and E-PL1 Micro Four Thirds cameras for yonks, but one of the factors that nudged us towards getting the rival Panasonic Lumix GF-1 compact was focussing speed.
Although the Olympus snappers weren’t exactly slouches, the slightly faster speed of the Lumix could be the difference between a great shot and a nearly-great shot. And no one remembers the one you nearly got.

Panasonic has flapped out the spec sheets of its new Lumix Micro Four Thirds cameras – the touchscreen DMC-G2 – and we’re rather liking the look of what we’re seeing.
The direct descendant of the trailblazing Lumix G1, the DMC-G2 comes with a 12.1MP Live MOS sensor and shoots 720p video in AVCHD lite, and can lay claim to being the first interchangeable lens system camera with a fold-out touchscreen.
Olympus has released another Micro Four Thirds camera, the PEN E-PL1 and aggressively priced it at $200 cheaper than the earlier E-P1, while still packing in the high end features.
The new PEN camera will offer the same 12.3-megapixel sensor and 14-42mm f3.5/5.6 zoom lens as its predecessor and also come with a built in flash – something that’s been sorely missing from their earlier Micro Four Thirds cameras.
