The update to the 12.3-megapixel camera primarily adds continuous, motion-track autofocusing that can better follow a subject across the frame. HD movie recording likewise gets a boost with manual control over the aperture and shutter speed.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/05/e.p2.official.with.continuous.af/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/04/olympus.e.p2.to.have.af.motion.tracking/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/olympuse-p2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Olympus' E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera has been revealed early thanks to a preview posted in advance. The rangefinder-like design is now known by BJP to be getting only a handful of new features but will importantly bring AF motion tracking and consequently fix a common complaint of slow autofocusing with the E-P1. Alongside this, it brings in a new electronic viewfinder option that is both very... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/04/olympus.e.p2.to.have.af.motion.tracking/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/30/olympus.e.p2.to.also.get.external.mic/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/olympuse-p2-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Olympus' success to its first Micro Four Thirds camera should make its debut in as little as a week based on both official and unofficial news. A teaser page from the company is counting down to a "new PEN" launch on November 6th and has been accompanied by a leak showing the new camera. Still believed to be called the E-P2, the camera now appears to be virtually identical to the E-P1 on the out... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/30/olympus.e.p2.to.also.get.external.mic/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/28/olympus.e.p2.micro.four.thirds.camera.due.oct.31/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/olympus.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A less expensive companion to the Olympus E-P1 digital camera, the E-P2, may be officially revealed on October 31st. This is indicated by Olympus' Chinese website, which is already listing the camera. Both the E-P1 and E-P2 rely on the Micro Four Thirds standard.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/28/olympus.e.p2.micro.four.thirds.camera.due.oct.31/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/02/panasonic.lumix.gf1/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/panasoniclumixgf1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />As expected, Panasonic today launched the Lumix GF1, its own take on the idea of a rangefinder-like Micro Four Thirds camera. In addition to being slightly smaller than the Olympus E-P1 it shares its system with, the GF1 has a surprise fix for the absence of built-in flash on its competitor: the corner opposite the grip has a hidden pop-up flash that properly distances the illumination from the l... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/02/panasonic.lumix.gf1/ Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/panasonic.gf1.ad.teasers/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/panasonicgf1-ad.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Panasonic has inadvertently spoiled its launch plans for the Lumix GF1 through at least one ad. Appearing on UK sites, the tower spot is short on details but confirms its position as Panasonic's rough equivalent to the Olympus E-P1 with a point-and-shoot style body but a Micro Four Thirds lens system. It also supports notions that the GF1 will ship in multiple colors, such as the red found on th... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/panasonic.gf1.ad.teasers/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 22:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/11/panasonic.gf1.sept.1.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/panasoniclumixgf1-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Panasonic's Lumix GF1 could get an announcement in three weeks based on a invitation that was briefly posted in a Chinese forum. The image lists an "unvealing" (potentially a play on words) for a new Lumix model in a two-day event that starts September 1st. A silhouette in the shot appears to match that of the GF1.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/11/panasonic.gf1.sept.1.leak/ Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/06/panasonic.lumix.gf1.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/panasoniclumixgf1-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Panasonic's third camera using the Micro Four Thirds system in less than a year should be a direct answer to the Olympus E-P1, a leak through a Chinese forum shows. The Lumix GF1 is potentially smaller than the E-P1 but should answer some of the weaknesses of its sibling, including adding a hidden (likely pop-up) flash on the top left. It would still omit a dedicated viewfinder but would bring a... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/06/panasonic.lumix.gf1.leak/ Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/04/olympus.e.p2.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0906/Olympus_E-P1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Olympus is already preparing a sequel to its E-P1 that would address at least one main complaint about the Micro Four Thirds camera, according to a claim by French magazine Chasseur d'Images. Coming from the same issue that accurately leaked the Nikon S1000pj under its working codename, the assertion intercepted by Photo Rumors has an Olympus E-P2 adding a built-in viewfinder. The current model ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/04/olympus.e.p2.rumor/ Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/14/olympus.e.p1.ships/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0906/Olympus_E-P1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The Olympus E-P1 is now shipping to the US through Amazon. The camera avoids the common SLR profile and instead has a more retro look that resembles the former Olympus PEN cameras. Although the camera is visibly smaller than an SLR, the E-P1 features a large DSLR sensor and removable lenses. The 12-megapixel camera is the first Olympus to incorporate the Micro Four Thirds system and, unlike Panaso... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/14/olympus.e.p1.ships/ Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:30:00 GMT
