Deal Alert – Both B&H and Amazon are currently offering two fairly fantastic deals of the M-4/3 variety in the Panasonic GH2 and Olympus E-P2, listing their body-only versions for just $599 and $229 respectively.
Amazon’s E-P2 offering is only good while supplies last, while B&H’s GH2 promotion is expected to last until April 21st. The $599 price for the latter is only visible once you add it to your cart. Click on the corresponding link below to be taken to their appropriate product detail pages:
In a recommendation made by the Securities Exchange and Surveillance Commission (SESC) to the Financial Services Agency (FSA), Olympus has been endorsed to pay nearly 200 million yen, or roughly $2.5 million, in accounting fees due to the company’s false regulatory filings dating back from March of 2007 through Q1 of 2011.
Deal Alert – Amazon is currently offering the oldie, but goodie, Olympus E-PL1 for the bargain-basement price of just $149.95 body-only, or $289.00 with the 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 M.Zuiko kits lens.
In a patent application filed back in September of 2010, but released publicly last week, Olympus calls for a rather intriguing addition to their current lens line-up, hoping to bring a much needed fast tele macro to the market in the form of a 150mm f/2.8.
In an application filed back in August of 2010, but released publicly last week, patent 201237640 calls for an update to the Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/2.8. The publication details the updated pancake to feature 7 lens elements arranged in 5 groups, as well as one aspherical element. In comparison, the current 17mm f/2.8, shown above, features 6 lens elements arranged in 4 groups.
Upon appointing Hiroyuki Sasa, a 56-year-old fellow from the company’s medical equipment marketing division, as president, as well as assigning Yasuyuki Kimoto, 63, as the new chairman, the entire board of the battered and beleaguered Olympus Corp. has resigned, accomplishing the first step in the road to rebidding public trust and perception after the recent fraudulent activity, which stained the company’s otherwise impeccable image.
When Olympus recently announced the OM-D E-M5, it was believed that the retro-inspired, highly anticipated model would firmly sit atop the company’s current camera offerings, with Olympus openly stating that the E-5, released in 2010 and shown above, would be the last of its kind, with total focus to be placed on the PEN series. However, it now seems like the camera maker has had a change of heart.
In true Olympus fashion and keeping in line with what we’ve come to expect from the camera maker comes news that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise in the eyes of many, as Olympus Japan’s Toshiyuki Terada informed the folks at Techrader that their next camera release will likely be a PEN, stating:
