Re: Panasonic 4/3 update from PMA

Ian Burley In Response To: Re: For Tony on Leica & 4/3rds (Bob Ross)

Re: Panasonic 4/3 update from PMA 26 February 2006 10:06 am I managed to ask two questions in the Q&A - first concerning the Mega OIS compatibility with existing E-System bodies and the answer is that Mode 1 (continuous IS) is available but Mode 2 (where the OIS activates only when the shutter is released) is currently limited to the Panasonic camera, apparently because of firmware issues unique to Panasonic and its implementation of the Venus Engine III system. Secondly, I asked why Panasonic had not implemented a tilting screen like on the E-330. I got a rather sarcastic (but goof humoured) reply thanking me for my advice on this and they would definitely investigate this possibility I have some pictures, including a side by side with an LC1 - I'll post these asap. The camera itself is lighter than I envisaged - it has a lightweight magnesium shell and it's not drastically larger than an LC1. More soon.
