Nice surprise: The Panasonic S1H has IBIS !

The Panasonic S1H had two weak spots when it was announced:

1) It has that big fan you see on the image on top
2) It was rumored to have no IBIS

Well, at last point 2 got debunked! As reported by L-rumors the Panasonic S1H will have IBIS!

Now we have to see if that fan will not make too much noise when recording video :(

Leica M-E camera officially announced

24-Megapixel CMOS Sensor
Image Quality without Compromise

The new Leica M-E ranks among the most compact full-frame camera systems in the world. Its 24MP CMOS sensor offers a high light sensitivity of up to ISO 6400 – facilitating outstanding image results even in low-light situations. Its 2GB buffer memory ensures that the Leica M-E is always ready to shoot, even when capturing a rapid succession of frames – so you can rest assured that you will never miss out on the decisive moment.

Integrated Video Function
Leica Look in Full-HD

Thanks to its exceedingly high resolution and light sensitivity, the Leica M-E delivers photographs imbued with the classic ‘Leica look’, characterized by a unique bokeh rendition. Owners of the new Leica M-E are also able to apply this distinctive quality to their moving images: the Leica M-E features a 1080p, full-HD movie mode — allowing you to capture stunning videos using a dedicated recording button, adding yet another dimension to your creative pursuits.
