Great some PMA leaks from someone who is supposed to be credible. I ran across this on another web site. Someone had translated allot of it I guess which will be posted below, but as you can tell they (Translator) don't care for Olympus. They skipped translating a couple pages of the information that we want.

Here right below the link, is the section on Olympus that someone translated. There is allot this person translated about Canon and Nikon that you can read by fallowing the link. Yet there is MUCH MUCH more written about Olympus, see down below.

http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/Canon_1DS_MkIII.html

Here is the part of the article that they translated about Olympus.

"Now, as news from Olympus, Canon and Nikon seem imminent, for Leica it's easy to make us wait until 2008 or 2009.

PMA is, as we know, practically around the corner and logically rumours regarding the most important products that could be presented in Vegas are starting to flow like lava. It seems like Olympus will be presenting it's products the morning of the 8, in a spectacular natural setting that we cannot (yet) reveal.
Olympus hasn't revealed any particular aspect... yada yada yada
New models will be the new 410 & 510

E-410 an evolution of E-400 smaller & with live view (not being too careful around Olymups)...

More spectacular E-510, people handling it mention it's very small. Includes IS, 10 Megapixels that could also be included in newer "Professional" Olympus E that we may call E-P1...
Sensor, a CCD by Kodak, should offer good signal-to-noise ratios.

E-P1 will not be ready for PMA but around July or August 2007, should have "live-view" and perhaps have 12-14 Megapixels... (OK, I'm ignoring this and going straight to CANON)

I tried to post a Babble Fish translation from the original article just including everything about Olympus, but it was about 3-4 times to long. It is a long read admittedly but worth reading in my opinion. When reading the article remember there is 5 pages, because writer jumps to some other manufactures but then switches back to Olympus.

Ok this kept me up for awhile, goodnight guys & girls hope you find it interesting. Though if you need me to e-mail it to you for whatever reason, e-mail me and I will send you a copy.

Well, really this article is not a lot more than a rumour roundup, although it repeateadly mentions embargos.

I don't really speak Spanish but I can extrapolate knowing French & Italian...

It is quite enthusiastic about Olympus. It mentions that the E410 will be marketed alongside the E400; the E510 will have LV and in-body stabilisation, with a Kodak 10Mpx sensor. There will be a new AF module for the E1P, with 15 points, and faster. The author hopes that the precision of the current SF module will be retained, and notes that the current module is not particularly slow.

Several lenses are mentioned - 12-60 f2.8/f4.0, the fabled 14-35 f2, and a 180-500 (no speed mentioned) produced by Sigma. The article mentions a total of 6 lenses, so there are 3 others ....

Olympus should make a presentation in a "spectacular natural locatin" on March 8th
 
. . .rehash.

The article in question merely wuoted us at Dpreview.

One area I did find interesting was the possibility of DxO technology in camera. I read an interview a while back where Olympus and DxO were making in camera technology to increas or decrease DOF on the fly . . . meaning extremely far DOF can be attained with a large aperture without boosting the ISO, and extremely shallow DOF could be attained where it otherwise was physically impossible. I can't remember the article . . but I will dig for it.

I would consider this a useful feature. Especially increasing DOF without boosting the ISO.

While waiting for someone who acually understands spanish, here is the part that was left out in something similar to english (using Altavista Babelfish). Detector = sensor, Autoenfoque = autofocus and so forth. A few new things to my knowledge, anyhow.

E-P1... This detector, probably a CCD of Kodak origin, and the the 10 surroundings of mp, would offer a very good relation between density and size of photocell, which would speak of a good señal/ruido relation. With regard to the E-P1, she will not be ready for the PMA except for - perhaps - very below the counter. And nevertheless, one affirms that she will be ready for July or August of this same year. It will incorporate Live-View and stabilization, with a detector of new generation (similar to the one of the E-510), that is probable exceeds the 10 mp. Perhaps, 12, perhaps 14 mp. The new type of detector could, apparently, assure a level relatively contained noise. Autoenfoque will be also of new generation, with around 15 points of approach, and, of course faster than the present one. And it is not that the present one is slow... Let us hope that when improving the speed is not lost precision: some systems of the competition are very fast, but also very known to focus... behind where they must. Considering which they are going away to try to even reach 5 f.p.s. in RAW and to more the hi-res, it seems to be that buffer will be decided on a really generous memory... With regard to the objectives that can be presented/displayed, "more novel" it could be new 12-60 mm f/2,8-4,0 an objective that would be equivalent to 24-120 mm f/2,8-4,0 on the detector of the format Four Thirds. This objective of the series "Pro" would be offered like an alternative more versatile than magnificent 14-54 mm f/2,8-3,5 (28-108 mm). If the new objective maintains the distortion levels as low as mythical 14-54 mm, welcome, otherwise... That is rumored that already he will be ready famous (by not to have appeared) 14-35 mm f/2, of course equivalent to 28-70 mm f/2. In diverse occasions one has commented to us, that the fact that this objective has seen delayed its presentation not must to technical problems but to strategies of marketing: it is desired to along with present/display it some new body "of postín", as it can be the new E-P1 or the new E-510. It is possible that they appear until a total of 6 objectives, among them 180-500 mm (360-1,000 mm) that could be of design Sigma. For that they are thinking about focal fixed... there is nothing no to do apparently: the rest of the objectives will be also of the type zoom lens. ( ) The Live-View way, in a monocular camera réflex, allows to as much have vision through the own system réflex of the camera like in the later monitor. It is obtained, or by means of a second auxiliary detector (Mode A), or through the own main detector (Mode B). The models Olympus E-330 and Panasonic L1 are the unique ones that, until the moment offered Live-View
 
I would love to read that articale if when you find it, please share.

. . .magazines, as you speak. It may have been on the internet. It is so cool sounding to me. I hope I can puill it together.

Thanks Zach. I know it mentions allot of things we talked about here, but there are enough little differences through out to make me think that he has a different source than DP. Plus other tid bits of info in there. Also some discussions on the Canon forum have the writer as creditable person in the past. That no 100% by any means, but defiantly interesting.

Maybe Milsuper will way in and say some thing like the guy is an idiot or genius. That would be great, as long as it would not cost him his first born. :-) In which case I would understand his silence.

Ok I really need to get some sleep it's 5am out here on the west coast. I am not in a good area to take pics of the sunrise, so have a good one.

Grand Canyon is a very short tour flight away. They have tours and trips leaving from the airport, and helipad all the time. I forgot the name of the company that runs the most but they have a huge heliport out at the South rim.

I have no idea if that is what they mean kind of doubt it, but who knows. It is a gorgeous place, but a bit impractical if it is scheduled for the same morning that PMA starts.

The "Crack" Olympus marketing team schedules a sunrise Press conference over the South Rim. It would take advantage of one of the most breath taking picture scenes I have ever seen. It would allow photographers to get awesome shots with new gear. It would also assure that not that many press members would show up. So, I guess I need to be there the morning of the 8th. :-D

Lake Mead / Hoover Dam sprang immediately to mind.
 
I mean the E-410 and E-510 rumor .... the question I got is still .... so when, and what kind of new lens to go with them .... and if the E-400 will made it to other region. Sure liveview can be a nice addition, but hey what if I don't need one !

PMA: rumors 2

An article of Valentin Sama
Tuesday, 13 February 2007

Apparently, Canon will make an important international product presentation next day 22 of February…

At sight of the last information, it is possible that one appears more of a camera model, and in any case, it seems to confirm that the new range of objectives will appear.

Nikon, on the other hand, does not seem to remain quiets after the relatively recent introduction of its models D80 and D40, and will present/display another model, that - as much surprising it would be located in low average range/, this is, a luck of “D60”. The rumors in the sense that begin to acquire a certain credibility “Nikon would be preparing something fat” for half-full of 2007. The speculations are free and could go from the introduction of a model of complete format to the abandonment of the mount traditional Nikon F… or both things.

In Leica, and since signals in the sense that are emitted it is stopped in the manufacture of the Digital Leica Modul-R, seems next more and more the entrance in a system réflex monocular integral.

From a theoretical point of view of the philosophy of the company of Solms, the new “Leica-RD” would have to incorporate a compatible mount with acts it of the Leica-R series. The detector would not have to surpass a factor of 1.3 xs for “the old” objectives, and would have to offer a resolution of the the 17 surroundings of megapíxeles.

As far as optical, they would be compatible those of series R already mentioned, but surely that will appear new optical optimized in cover and benefits, and is of supposition that, at least initially, of type zoom lens.

However: as well as the new features of Olympus, Canon and Nikon seem imminent, for the one of Leica it is easy that it is necessary to hope towards 2008 or 2009.

Well after reading the part at the top of this page,
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/Canon_1DS_MkIII.html

Olympus being at the Grand Canyon dose not sound so bad. Looks like Canon were doing an press conference yesterday in Kenya about upcoming camaras. :-D

Well if flying from Las Vegas on a tour plane or a Helicopter. Well from the tour descriptions it seams about 4.5 hours round trip, but that is flying around the Grand Canyon, and also includes feet on the ground sight seeing time.

If you have never been there it is hard to picture how massive an area it is. It would all depend on which part of the Park you where headed to. It appears to be about 150 miles by air from LV airport to the South Rim airport/heliport. About an hour flight I guess. The Grand Canyon starts about 50 miles outside Las Vegas, again as the bird fly’s, and I think it is around 100 miles or more to the other end.

Then don't use it. :)
I am sure it can be disabled.

For one thing, a "Spectacular natural setting" close to Las Vegas is probably in Arizona, not Nevada.

South Antelope Canyon and other such slot canyons? Not a convenient half-day trip from LV I fear. I vote for the readily-accessible-by-air-and-damn-the-cliches Grand Canyon area.
