That seems to be the biggest question everyone wants answered. Olympus, please tell us, if nothing else, when you are going to tell us about actual products!<BR/><BR/>Give us something concrete please :)1001 noisy camerashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10296123143499134309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-20734615102998806572008-08-11T20:57:00.000-07:002008-08-11T20:57:00.000-07:00I have a question: When will we learn about actual products?<BR/><BR/>:)dot-borgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-69560901821675150152008-08-05T17:56:00.000-07:002008-08-05T17:56:00.000-07:00Indeed! Micro Four Thirds opens things up, and makes people stop and think!<BR/><BR/>The potential of APS-C/DX "compacts" is another alternative temptation that may have similar effects!<BR/><BR/>The camera review sites are going to be busy this summer/fall! Hopefully the manufacturers can get them review units in a timely fashion!1001 noisy camerashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10296123143499134309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-17440717874358869052008-08-05T17:24:00.000-07:002008-08-05T17:24:00.000-07:00This is only the first shoe to drop, but it is a big one, my guess is either Canon or Nikon to follow.<BR/>The problem facing us now is the impossibility of making an informed decision on any equipment purchase.Richard Alan Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00770875869754360410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-11062114566716403562008-08-05T12:43:00.000-07:002008-08-05T12:43:00.000-07:00Great points! This certainly caught me by surprise, but a very pleasant surprise!<BR/><BR/>Assuming and considering a continuous improvement in the Four Thirds sensors, I think this has great potential, especially since the lenses will presumably be custom-designed for this specific mount, so you don't have to worry about "legacy" issues.<BR/><BR/>It looks like they really kept it a secret, they didn't even send releases to many websites as usual.<BR/><BR/>If I were to go to Photokina, I would be running from booth to booth and trying to sneak behind the curtains and the closed door meetings to see what they are planning ahead :-)<BR/><BR/>Remote coverage of Photokina is my 2008 staycation :-) I'll get some German music CDs and German landscape photos for some ambiance :-)1001 noisy camerashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10296123143499134309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-69661311781567630672008-08-05T12:26:00.000-07:002008-08-05T12:26:00.000-07:00YES! <BR/><BR/>Finally some REAL innovation going on in the camera world.<BR/><BR/>I want one NOW!<BR/><BR/>I wonder if they need beta testers? Oh please please please I'll be one!!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, this is great news.<BR/><BR/>Some over on the forum at dpreview are poo-pooing the 4/3 sensor size as being too small...<BR/><BR/>Huh?<BR/><BR/>How much larger is 4/3 compared to 1/1.7 in the G9...? 4/3 is enough for me.<BR/><BR/>This is a major step in the right direction. Man, I can't wait for Photokina.<BR/><BR/>You're going, right? To give us live, up to the minute updates and reports? Can you take me with you? LOL ;-)mrsfixitnoreply@blogger.com
