New MTF adapters for Canon EOS-M announced (via CameraDiner)

MTF service announced the launch of new Canon FD, Nikon G, and PL mount adapters for the Canon EOS-M system (Minute 4:56 – 7:00 on the video on top). You can see a list of their current adpaters on Slidoo eBay. There are already adapters from Kipon (list on eBay).

Trustedreviews reviewed the EOS-M and writes: “Image quality is some of the best we’ve yet seen in a CSC and certainly a match for many DSLRs. What really sets the EOS M apart from its rivals though is the fantastically responsive touchscreen interface, which is by some distance the best in its class.“

New Fuji X-E1 fw update and new Sony/Panasonic tests.

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.
