Future of cameras?

Hey guys!

So yea... Today I had work in where I called all the shots since I was working alone with Hong Yong, hahaha!

So... Basically... One thing that I've been wondering since the E-5 been out is the future of cameras. Everything seems to be becoming smaller which makes it very troublesome for guys like me. Olympus official news is that in 2011, we'll see pro specs PENs as well as an update to entry level cam, an E-PL3? Probably. 4/3 lens development has stopped and the E-5 is not the last 4/3 camera. Good news and bad man.

Good news, E-5 is not the last 4/3 camera. Bad news? No more new lenses which is not really important since they've covered the necessary focal lengths. However, the pro spec cam might be bad and good news. Good news, cameras will be light and better in processing images. Bad news? It might be too small for me to use. Looks like I have to keep a look out for the pro spec m4/3 next year. If it's looking good, might start investing in the HG lenses if there are any. If it doesn't look good. I might have to proceed to saving money for my Nikon system.

Sad... I'll seriously miss the big DSLRs though if the mirror-less cameras such as E-P1/2 have a built-in EVF, it might be like the OM cameras which ain't too bad. Attach a grip (at least,I hope there is" and hey, it might be comfortable after all! Also! Today Fufjifilm released the Finepix X100, an APS-C sensor camera with a fixed 35mm f2 lens in the form of a range finder. Very old school and looks pretty cool. If its about the size of current range finder, it might be very well possible for Olympus to have a camera that size!

Anyway... That's all! Catching a movie with my dear friend Malathi tomorrow. Watching "I Love You Too". Oh! I just reserved a book about Nikon flash system. Hope it becomes available soon! Good night everyone!
