Olympus_E-PL1s

Olympus launches a new hybrid photo camera, the E-PL1s. But, this is certainly not a major announcement:

  • It’s an evolution of the Olympus E-PL1 bringing the ISO 6400 ability
  • You will find it in Japan only
  • It stays the samllest EVIL/Hybrid camera in the world right now

Tow lens kits will be available with the following:

  • M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm F3.5-5 .6 II
  • M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm F3.5-5 .6 II and M.ZUIKO 40-150mm F3-5.6
]]> Pentax EVIL will not use Samsung tech https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2010/10/05/pentax-evil-will-not-use-samsung-tech/ Tue, 05 Oct 2010 18:37:07 +0000 https://ylovephoto.com/en/?p=8091 Pentax logoMr. Eguchi Kazumichi, Head of Marketing at the Pentax Imaging Systems Division, has made an interesting statement: “Pentax are no longer in bed with Samsung, and they will not use Samsung NX technology.”

This is one of the clearest and most public statements reflecting the divorce between Hoya/Pentax and Samsung. It seems that the Korean firm now feels sufficiently at ease to design their own photo cameras (e.g. the NX family of EVIL cameras with interchangeable lenses on a compact with electronic viewfinder). And it’s now certain that Pentax will not try to collect technology from their old partner.

This is not “Kramer vs. Kramer“, but this is no longer “Crazy, Stupid, Love“.

]]> Pentax now racing for an EVIL camera https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2010/08/09/pentax-now-racing-for-an-evil-camera/ Mon, 09 Aug 2010 08:59:20 +0000 https://ylovephoto.com/en/?p=6516 Through a communication in the financial world (an interview with CitiGroup analysts), Hoya (the parent company of Pentax) revealed that Pentax would soon be presenting one or more mirrorless photo cameras. This is clearly a leak and not a rumor (communication of false information in such a financial context would be illegal and seriously frowned upon) but it is still short on technical details.

On top of this, it is now clear that it will be a new avatar of EVIL camera equiped with an APS-C sensor. So, we will wait a good image quality, maybe with a simpler operation than most DSLR cameras.

Pentax announcement planned before Photokina.

]]> Canon, (there will) be no EVIL https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2010/07/24/canon-be-no-evil/ Sat, 24 Jul 2010 08:47:20 +0000 https://ylovephoto.com/en/?p=6324 Canon Japan’s Image Communication Products head Masaya Maeda revealed to Reuters what seems to be that Canon will not be part of the race to get a new EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens). Canon is thinking about using its own good position in the SLR market to build more small SLR cameras at a rock bottom price, rather than trying to create a new line of EVIL cameras.

It makes senses, for them.
