The blog section of the site has been replaced with the new design.
The deal is done.
April 1st is a strange news day by all accounts and it's good to have some fun, especially as the HDSLR news is a bit slow right now. But some of the real news today has been buried amongst the flurry of joking.
Well, out of the blue has come this -
After lengthy talks with Panasonic and Olympus, 4 new manufacturers have signed up to produce Micro 4/3rds product lines.
Fuji will make a Micro 4/3rds mount mirrorless HDSLR similar to the GH1
Kodak have also joined the consortium and will produce a smaller GF1 style camera with their own sensor.
Panasonic are to tap into the range finder market with the GF2, by offering a selection of new Leica glass. The lenses will be Leica's first in Micro 4/3rds mount and feature HD optimised AF in video mode.
Panasonic are said to be worried by the growing number of customers shunning Micro 4/3rds lenses and putting Zeiss glass on their cameras via an adapter.
The first Leica lenses to be released for Micro 4/3rds are:
Leica G Summilux 25mm F1.2 HD ASPH
Leica G Summilux 35mm F1.4 HD ASPH
Leica G Summarex 85mm F1.4 HD ASPH
There will also be a special edition bundle of the GF2

I hope you like the new look, with the sidebars. These can include pretty much anything I dream up. Suggestions are welcome.

Also a thank you - to you. All 1000 of you who visit the site every day, on average.
Samsung have apparently come up a global shutter design whereby two separate sensors work together with timed rows producing an electronic shutter that creates an image free of skew.
Whilst it's good to bare in mind that these diagrams may be fakes, they could as easily have been leaked from a patent, a semiconductors presentation at an industry conference or from a suppliers meeting. K-Rumors, the Pentax and Samsung news website which broke the story does not offer an explanation of where the source got the drawings.
The sensor is a large 12 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS.
To me, the diagrams don't make sense.
