What was once a rumor has now been made official. Olympus announced the newest version to their electronic viewfinder line-up, the VF-3. According to Olympus:
The VF-3 is perfect for photographers who like the option of holding the camera up to their eye to compose. With 100-percent field-of-view, none of the recordable subject area is cropped, making composition with the VF-3 easy and accurate. The magnification and built-in diopter adjustment of the VF-3 allow for easy viewing. The VF-3 can be rotated up to 90-degrees to accommodate more obscure shooting angles for additional creative control. Furthermore, if you are the kind of person who likes to tweak the settings on your TV, you’ll love the ability to adjust the brightness and color temperature to your own particular tastes.
The VF-3 has an estimated street price of $179.99 which is about 28% lower than the current VF-2. No official word has been given on an expected release date.

Nikon has since asked the original post of the photo to be taken down from Xitek, a Chinese forum which outed the story. Could this indeed be Nikon’s new mirrorless camera?

In some quick news, Philip Bloom is reporting an interesting tidbit for Sony NEX-FS100 owners. According to Bloom:
I just spoke to one of the main Sony Europe chaps who confirmed to me that Sony will be offering the NTSC upgrade to the PAL versions of the FS100 for free, probably around the Winter time.
If this indeed comes to fruition, the free update would be a major upgrade to an already competent camera.
