Olympus has announced two new Micro Four Thirds lenses, a 75-300mm and a 40-150mm. Respectively, the lenses cover a 35mm equivalent focal length of 150-600mm and 80-300mm due to the Micro Four Thirds 2x crop factor sensor. [click to continue…]

Olympus has announced an all-black kit for the E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera. Not only is the camera body black, but the 17mm lens and FL-14 flash also come in black.
This will perhaps make the camera a bit more subtle for those who want to draw less attention. I know that I continually drew comments from random people on the street when testing the E-P1.
The blacked out E-P2 kit carries an initial retail price of $999.99 and should be available in October 2010. Check availability at B&H Photo.

Both deals get free shipping in the US as well. However, B&H says quantities are limited on the printer, so if you want one of those, they may be gone soon.

Canon’s R&D group has been eating its Wheaties, as evidenced by the recent 120MP CMOS sensor and the new 8-inch CMOS sensor. That’s the 8″ sensor above, just to the left of a 35mm sensor.
The new sensor is roughly 40 times the size of the sensor found in the 5D Mark II. It measures 202 x 205mm, or roughly 8″ x 8″ – holy cow! Canon says that it is “capable of capturing images in one one-hundredth the amount of light required by a professional-model digital SLR camera.”
Don’t expect to see these in your next DSLR though – this is just bragging rights for now. Get the full tech-speak and marketing buzz in the press release below. [click to continue…]

The Zacuto Quick Draw is basically a trimmed-down version of the Zacuto Striker (without the shoulder stock), and actually I don’t even know that you can pick up the Quick Draw as a standalone product anymore. Nevertheless, Zacuto prices have dropped, and the Striker kit is even in a relatively reasonable price range now.
As far as simple, low-key DSLR support goes, I’m a big fan of the Quick Draw. I didn’t really think that would be the case going into my use of this rig since it didn’t include a shoulder support. However, after getting used to the kit with my 5D Mark II, I was very pleased with the flexibility of the Quick Draw.
