    Olympus to throw their hat into HD ring with E-5, plus Japanese video comparing NEX VG10 to 5D Mark II and Panasonic GH1

    Here is a very nice Japanese video, posted in the comments of another article by a fellow shooter Gérard Botha.

    According to high hit rate rumours site 43rumors.com, a trusted source has spilled the beans on the Olympus E-5, their next flagship DSLR.

    We can expect the announcement close to Photokina and the camera will be weather sealed, with HD video recording (no word if it is full HD).

    Do check out the full article over at 43rumors.com

    Another interesting thing that caught my eye was that the sensor is only 12MP and it is expected to be a low light monster, comparable to the D300s.

    This will be the first foray into video on a top-end DSLR for Olympus, who have until now only had a relatively weak 720p implementation on the EP-1, EP-2 and ELP-1 with no manual controls. The E-5, is set to be an interesting offering.

    Sony A55 video ‘better than Canon’

    We are short on details but now high on expectations. Make sure you check back at 6am London time (GMT) for the official Sony A55 announcement.
