Olympus Releases a Firmware Update for their E-P3, E-PL3, and E-PM1 Digital PEN Cameras

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 01:20:03 +0000

Olympus has just revealed a new firmware update for their current Digital PEN offerings; the E-P3, E-PL3, and E-PM1. The update is minor, and doesn’t fix any real issues with the camera. The new firmware (Version 1.2) helps the camera display the focal length of electronic Zoom lenses more accurately, whether in the viewfinder(s) while shooting, in playback, or in the EXIF data.

You have two options for updating your camera’s firmware:

Simply launch the included Olympus camera software and connect the camera via USB cable to an internet connected computer. Choose the Update function from the Camera menu in the software to apply available updates for camera bodies, lenses and accessories.
Download the software updater from the following link: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_downloads_updater.asp and follow the installer instructions.

Either method allows you to choose to display information related to what the specific update will apply, prior to actually performing the firmware update.

For more details, you can also visit the Olympus Support website.

GE Reveals 2012 Digital Camera Line

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:40:02 +0000

Samsung, Panasonic, Nikon, Canon,
Olympus, Kodak, Sony, Pentax, FujiFilm – these are some of the companies we tend to think about when
we talk digital cameras. Of course, there are more than just the big
name brands out there, including some new models from GE/General
Imaging.

These newly announced cameras aren’t
meant for the expert photographer but for those that might be a
little newer to photography. The peak price of their 2012 offerings
is $199 for the X600, which packs 25x zoom, a 14.4MP CMOS sensor,
1080p video recording and even 10fps shooting at full resolution.

The most entry-level of all of GE’s new
cameras is the $69 C1440W, which gives you a 14.1MP resolution, 4x
zoom and 720p video capture. $10 more takes you up to the J1458W
which gives you 5x zoom and a lithium-ion battery instead of the AAs
of the C1440W.

To learn more about these models, check out GE’s imaging website.
