I’ve been following the “Micro Four-Thirds” system with much interest ever since it was announced. Basically, it is a DSLR without a mirror, otherwise known as a P&S with interchangeable lenses…
Panasonic announced a 7-14mm lens, which on the 2x crop is 14-28mm.
The lens is tiny. It’s 10 oz. …If it’s sharp, again I have to say, WOW. What a cool system! I honestly cannot imagine buying a “bridge” P&S camera now. The 20x zoom stuff is just getting ridiculous.
Micro 4/3 is the “bridge P&S” of the future; I see it as a very valuable system with MUCH potential to take over HUGE market share…
Panasonic has also announced an HD-capable Micro Four-Thirds body, the GH1. (Basically a G1 with HD) 1080/24p, or 720/60p. NICE!
