Oly Rangefinder in June!!!!

[petermcwerner]

The one argument which I like about an Oly is the in-body stabilization, which would also work with any third party lens. Or am I wrong about that?

How about a new term, CLIC ?

Compact, Lens-Interchangeable, Camera.

Okay... just a thought

Re: "Rangefinder" ?

Sorry, man, but even though everybody knows it's not an actual rangefinder that is the way people are addressing this particular Oly's camera. (...)

Well, some do and they shouldn't...

What about just saying The Oly micro 4/3 mockup? Too boring perhaps.

sardine tin mockup

seems more appropriate to me

BTW, how do you get colored text, the combo does not work for me, I had to copy and edit your text

Actually, the mockup is pretty close conceptually to the original Olympus Pen, which was a fixed-lens, half-frame, scale-focusing pocket camera -- fairly simplistic by the standards of the day, in other words.

I speak of the Pen FT. We have yet to see a small format digital with it's design philosophy. And EVF would make it so possible.

To paraphase Cato, Nos postulo PEN.

Whatever, but not something meaning anything else, like tuna fish...

I just clicked on the underlined A among the tools above the text box that opens when replying. That gave me the code with the word black as color. So, I tried something else but black.

but tuna fish tins are usually round, sardine tins look more like the mockup

Thank you for the tip, I tried it, but on my brower that button gives me only black or black

OK, I think I get the point. Hopefully people stop calling a camera with an LCD finder for rangefinder.

Doesn't it give you a code in the textbox looking like this:
[ COLOR="black"]xxx[/COLOR ] (spaces added to make the code visible)


Now exchange black with, for example, yellow and you get any text written inside the tags displayed in yellow.
