Just Posted: Olympus PEN Mini preview and video. Behind the bluster of the latest announcements, the Olympus E-PM1 has started hitting the shelves. In many respects it’s pretty similar to the E-PL3 (and it features most of that camera’s enhancements over the previous PEN models). It’s built around the familiar 12MP sensor, shoots 1080i60 HD video and features an array of Olympus’ Art Filters. It stands out in one respect though – it’s the least expensive mirrorless interchangeable lens camera we’ve yet seen (in terms of list price). We’re working on a review but, in the meantime, have put together a preview article and video.

Olympus PEN Lite and PEN Mini announced and previewed
03
Jul
Alongside the PEN E-P3, Olympus has announced the PEN Lite and PEN Mini. These closely-related sister models (formally called E-PL3 and E-PM1) feature similar specifications but smaller bodies that borrow heavily from the styling of the company’s XZ-1 enthusiast compact. Both cameras are aimed at the point-and-shoot upgrader and feature 460,000 dot LCDs, rather than the E-P3’s OLED display but otherwise retain much of that camera’s capability, including what’s claimed to be the world’s fastest AF. We’ve been using a PEN Lite for a while and have prepared a brief hands-on preview.

Mini Nikon d3x (speculation on the nikon d700x/d800)

Speculation on what the d700x/d800 will be like when it is announced. Like the d700 the d700x /d800 will have many of the same features as the d3x. THESE SPECS ARE NOT 100% CERTIAN but I believe them to be logical.
