Chicago the City of Wind. Chicago is a very beautiful city as long as you take a step back from the hustle and bustle. This is only a partial of a skyline shot that was done for a commercial sub shop. The final print will be close to 14 feet wide, as soon as it is hung I encourage you to check it out.
As every one who knows much about photography Leica is a world renowned Camera manufacture. Though this day and age a lot of there "new" products are still dated by todays standard. Even with that in mind the Co. has managed to stay afloat as well as there own.
If you know Leica Cameras very well you will notice
Or think you notice a few things and differences that you have not seen on previous Leica's. Feel free to leave you Thoughts and comments.
Thank you and God Bless,

Smugmug has long announced that they were going to be integrating a new Pro lab. In fact they have been saying this for about a year. Well it looks like it may come to pass. A few clues have been given to me by David Jay and Andy Williams. The first clue is:
That they met in California last week for a few hours. The next clue is that they will be with the new pro lab at WPPI Feb. 14-19. Well if you look at the floor plan of WPPI booth 1525 is Smugmug right next to it is 1519 which happens to be a Pro Lab. This same lab is located not too far from the physical address of Smugmug. One is in Santa Cruz, the other in Mt. View. If you do not know where they are here is a mapView Larger MapSo you want to know what Pro Lab is in Santa Cruz, CA? It is Bay Photo. Now keep in mind this is pure speculation and I am only going by clues and could be wrong but we will see before the 14th of Feb.Thanks and God BlessCorey Brown (Glory 2 Jesus 4 Photography)
Panasonic has a web page up that has not hit the us market as I write this but these are some of the photos off of Panasonics site. It looks as though that the Panny/Olympus announcement was not to be taken very lightly because be the looks of it and the information that I have gathered shows that we could expect to see this camera on the shelfs as early as Mid November. Shown above is some of the CAF tracking and note the micro 4/3 symbol top left corner of the body.The first lenses that should both be avalible at the same time as the body are the 14-45 F 3.5-5.6 and the 45-200 F 4.0-5.6. Both equipped with O.I.S. Which works very well Panasonic as been using this kind of image stabilization for a few years and improving it along the way. As you can see that this camera has a few color choices and by the scene selection and the open user interface will make it very desirable for a novice wanting to expand their quality of their photos.However if you look closely below you will see on the mode dial on the right hand side of the body that this camera has a full line up of user controlled empowerment including full manual. Making it a camera that will be very easy for an inspiring amateur to learn with and whant to carry with them.This will have a 12 MP sensor making it the most MP on a 4/3 sensor that I know of. The body it self is supposed to way a mere 385 grams that is less then a pound ruffly the same as a Wendy's triple cheese burger. It will also have the Supersonic wave filter dust reduction system Which is very effective and highly rated in many reviews. The G1 also features a flip out screen like that found on the Lumix L10 and the Olympus E3 which in some circumstances makes getting so much easier if not the only way. It is just in my professional observation that this sure does look like something aimed at soccer moms collage students needing a little more camera for a course but still something easy to carry around ect. ect. However many professionals will be happy to find a smaller package to use with this kind of flexibility and control. Though there is not a lot of information out on this camera at least in English I expect we will get the full details at Photokina.
Here is the Link to the Lumix/Panasonic Web site if yo would like to check it out. Thanks and God Bless
