The mico 4/3 system seems to have some potential, particularly in developing smaller cameras. At the very least it's adding more choice for the camera buyer.
The Panasonic G1 is the first camera to use this new system. Apparently will be released at the end of this month in Japan. Details here: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/09/panasonic-launc.html Samsung has announced that they are developing an interchangeable lens camera based on the APS-sized sensor, presumably with a K mount. Whether this will flow on to Pentax models remains to be seen. http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/New_interchangeable_lens_system_compact_digital_camera_system_on_the_way_news_266661.html Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ On Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:11:06 -0400, "JC OConnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > > > JC O'Connell > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I just found out about this new micro 4/3 DSLR system. > It uses same 4/3 sensor but different lens mount > And no mirror/prism and instead has a big rear > LCD plus a high res.
