Yep! Interchangeable lenses

A suite of lenses and accessories & more to come.
Especially designed 14-42mm a 17mm pancake lens.

FINALY – one of the most highly anticipated cameras of the year.

As I look back over my blog entries I concede that it may appear we favour Olympus over anything else. That really is not the case, it's just that, well, Olympus are doing things that excite us. Lets face it, a camera is a camera is a camera. Frankly I'd rather be talking about a Rickenbacker 4003 in black with white binding & scratch plate and that's dream I'll hang on to. But the new Olympus Pen E-P1 will be my next camera.
I love the Micro 4 Thirds concept and I love what Olympus have come up with. With classic retro styling and 21st century digital know-how Olympus have created what I anticipate will be an award winning camera. This will be every travellers number one choice.
The image quality of an SLR camera (interchangeable lenses and 12.3 MPx) and the convenience of a compact camera.
The E-P1 body design is based on Olympus' famous & successful PEN series rangefinder cameras dating back to the 60's. The look and feel of this camera is stunning. The results are breath taking.
We'll see the E-P1 in store early to mid July, watch Cameraaction.com.au for pre-release information and pre-order opportunities.

UnderWater World

How cool is this!
I was doing my morning floor walk in the show room this morning and I came across this.

It’s a silicone flanged, quality Diving Mask with a built in 5 MegaPixel camera. This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. It’s a still camera and also offers VGA 18 frame p/s video.

Hands free diving with pictures.

For a limited time Camera Action Camera House are offering a bonus 2GB card with purchase.

December Nights

I Love December. There’s just soooo much going on. The nights are balmy, the streets are bustling with joyful folk going about their seasonal business and there are lots of invitations to consider.

Last night I had drinks with a princess.

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the Grand Opening of the Nintendo, Wii Experience Centre. If you get an opportunity (and in you’re in Melbourne) get yourself down there and have a look around. The Wii Experience Centre is above EB Games in Lower Swanston St. Opposite the City Square. Then come up to Camera Action Camera House and say hello.
Thanks Nintendo and Thanks Matt.
What’s this all got to do with Camera Gear, well nothing really except that I was very happy to see the huge number of cameras out and about at last night’s event.

I know I know

It’s been for ever but I’ve been overseas. I would have loved to 'Mobile Blog' but where I was made it really difficult to use a mobile phone.

The Roof of Melbourne & the Nikon D90

It was Nikon D90 night last night. All those fortunate early adopters were given personal instruction by the ever entertaining Shelton Muller while we strolled through Melbourne at sun down on our way to a mystery destination.


With a couple of stunning models by our side we took in the awesome low-light capabilities of the D90 and saw the amazing advantages of wireless multi flash.




We then wound up on the roof of Melbourne at the Rialto towers 360 degree observation deck. Damn if one of our players finds himself back at work at the end of the day. (He works in Rialto Towers, some mystery.)

A fun and enlightening evening.
