You really have to watch this! Made by Sony Australia to debunk the DSLR “Big is better” myth.
The video has been posted by DSLRgearnoidea.
Kai from digitalrev re tested the Canon EOS-M. Just watch the video :)
The EOS-M is pretty much in Stock everywhere. Just check on our Slidoo ebay (and login to change country).

We had quite a couple of news yesterday. On top you can watch a super nice GH3 video review made by CameraStoreTV. But yesterday we also had a new Fuji firmware update:
Firmware 1.01 for X-E1 (click here): It will add the compatibility with Fujinon XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R, improve the auto focus accuracy with XF60mm lens, and prevent under exposure when using the M-Mount Adapter .
Firmware 2.01 for X-PRO1 (click here) : Get full performance with the Fujinon XF18-55F2.8-4 lens. The size of the bright frame on OVF can be magnified in relation to zooming motion of Fujinon XF18-55mm lens. When using the focus checking function with “3-time” magnification in manual focus mode, you could find a few dots (black or color) only in live view image on EVF/LCD. Improve auto accuracy focus of XF60mm lens and prevent under exposure when using the M-Mount Adapter.
And here are some other new reviews you may want to check out: Sony NEX-6 tested by Quesabesde (translation here). E-M5 review at Neocamera. GH3 hands on by EosHD.
Oh…one more thing: Mr.Yosuke Aoki from Sony said at The.me that “We’re studying the possibility” of doing a Full Frame mirrorless system.

You are not going to jump for joy for this but Canon US just released the new Canon EOS-M double kit lens package you can already available at Adorama. It was already available in Asia (here on Slidoo eBay).
Speaking of Asia…to be precise Japan. At BCNranking you can check out the latest week top system camera sales. You will notice that actually the cheapest mirrorless cameras are top sellers in the mirrorless segment. There is even the Pentax Q camera that sells like a hotcake :)
It’s time to look a bit more into some new Nikon 1 related news!
Let’s start with a deal on refurbished J1 camera at Cameta (now $259 only). As you know it has been replaced by the J2 but the DxOmark sensor test demonstrates that there is no real image quality improvement on the newer model. And image samples of the new V2 model have been posted by the Russian Prophoto site. The surprise comes from the Nikon Q2 financial report that showed that the new DSLRs and Nikon 1 are selling well in face of the economic crisis (Engadget). I may underestimated Nikon’s capacity to sell the Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras :)
