Finally someonewith the same pre-photokina symptoms! I am googling Pana G1 rumours for hours since days. No new infos, but reading over rumours and discussions of discussions of rumours at least kills some pain of waiting for Oly's revelations on m43…

I have been on the DPR every day ... for months now.
First for the 14-35 f2 ... now for the tweener e30
Probalby, next for the 35-100 SWD f2
Then, to check if RadioPoppers "really" works TTL with the FL50s.

hopefully, after all that ... I can just work with what I got ... until Next Sept. LOL

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but at this time I don't think it's looking good for any major announcements for Photokina....

Food for thought: a young photographer in China asked me some years ago whether I knew what Chinese painters, poets or sculptors would do when they became famous. I did not know. He said they would change their names to see whether they were still any good.

I mean the best announcement would be that all lenses become fully contrast-AF-able and the 14-35 problem with (normal) focus is solved.

That would be better than a new camera.

But a new camera would also be not bad, because I would like to jump over the 10MP sensor and jump to the 12MP sensor. So I could (hopefully) stay at 12 MP for many years, I think 3000x4000 is a good number, its so simple.

I'm getting tired of saying this. Olympus doesn't have a history of announcing stuff (except point and shoot) at Photokina. Why would they start now?

Maybe OLY should "try" a different stratagy?
  • Do you think it would hurt them? what do they have to loose, really.
It's not like they are trying to protect there DSLR #1 position, or #2, or even #3?
Just maybe ... history, needs to change?

October 8th is right AFTER Photokina. Has Olympus lost its mind?

they always do that
like the dp 'Latest News' list

makers that move early in PK will quickly find themselves at the bottom of the list aka the background. Just look at the last bunch of important stuff that got bounced out b/se of Canon's all important P&S releases

Going before or after guarantees better exposure

we call it marketing

If October 8th is true, I think Olympus is giving Panasonic the 4/3 limelight for Photokina, probably in consideration for Olympus using the 12mp sensor in one or more DSLR bodies to be announced immediately afterward.

And, a post-Photokina announcement for an important product helps keep Olympus from becoming lost in the noise coming out of Cologne.

I have to admit I was wrong... a bit surprised at the announcement... not surprised at the availability date.

Perhaps more concrete announcements at October 8th ?
Or was it that now "the day before photokina" ?
