It's an update to the G1, since it adds AVCHD Lite, but it's not an update to the GH1 which has full res AVCHD.

New Panasonic Cameras
Panasonic has announced the Lumix G2 and G10 cameras in the Micro 4/3 standard. The G2, which is a refresh of the popular G1 / GH1 and will presumably eventually replace them, has a touch-activated viewing screen, and the G10 is a stripper model with fewer features (mainly, it lacks the artic...
I think you meant to say that David Bailey was the model for Thomas in Antonioni's Blow up (Thomas is the character, David Hemmings was the actor who played him).

He Wasn't as Steady as a Tripod
"...Sparked me up, like the thing on the table with the bolts here...TZZZT!" Now then—I really do mean to take tomorrow off, as I'm supposed to. (As you can probably tell, I get a little obsessive about staying glued to the computer.) But I'd like to leave you with a link to a film that I thin...
Ms Bown was awarded the CBE in 1995, not the MBE, and your link should go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBE not to the town near Brazzaville
Unknown Bown 1947-1967 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bown-Jane/dp/0852650760 is a treasure too.

Jane Bown
John Lennon by Jane Bown The whole United Kingdom seems to be embarked on a low-key but extended love-fest for Jane Bown, the modest* longtime newspaper photographer who has come to rank with Newman, Karsh and Nadar as one of the medium's greatest portraitists. Rather urgently recommended is...
If the X1 is priced at around $2000, then it's going to be in the same price bracket as used M8 bodies (soon, if not already).
Since the M8's issues—other than the 1.3x—are pretty much historical (with dotted lenses, IR/UV filters and firmware v2.04 It Just Works™), it'll be interesting to see how the X1 fares against competition from used M8s and M8.2s.
(Since the M9 has an internal IR filter, there should be lots of cheap IR/UV filters on the market to go with the cheap s/h M8 bodies)

Leica's Back
Over the past handful of years we've reported that Leica has had its problems. Well, with a new team in place, a passel of smart new products, and (clearly) a dynamic intelligence behind its long-term strategic thinking, it's safe to say Leica's back. In fact it may be in a better position now t...
Some possible reasons why M-mount lenses—particularly wide-angle ones—underperform expectations on μ4/3 cameras has been covered in discussions about the Panasonic G1.

Olympus E-P1 PEN Review
By Ken Tanaka If you’re at all attuned to camera news you are well aware of Olympus’s new PEN E-P1 camera. This 12.3 megapixel Micro Four-Thirds camera has stirred up quite a bit of excitement since its concept design was previewed at the 2008 Photokina. Olympus's own tagline has done much to...
Recent versions of the f1.0 Noctilux take 60mm filters, but the very first version of the f1.0—produced between 1976 and 1978—takes 58mm filters (same as the earlier 50mm f1.2 Noctilux).
I had to special order the 58mm B+W UV/IR filter for my Series 1 Noct, and it took almost 4 months to arrive.

What should California call it's currency?
Auerback: According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Republicans and Democrats alike embraced legislation last Friday that would make California IOUs legal tender for all taxes, fees and other payments owed to the state - an action that effectively would mean that California is entering the curr...

Classic RCA Type 77 Mic Knockoffs
If you look at album covers from the 50's and 60's, you'll often find artists crooning into an RCA Type 77 microphone. It's one of several microphones who's silhouette has become iconic of recording, and even of music itself. The 77 deserves its reputation, but it also got what it didn't des...

The Mortgage Meltdown: We Missed It Completely... Because We Knew It All Along!
But even in hindsight, I think it would have taken a miracle for business journalists to have foreseen the current crisis in its magnitude and depth. Beat reporters saw the pieces of it, and columnists who took a broader view warned about the buildup of risk. But even those who predicted disaste...
