Panasonic, Fujifilm, Sony, Nikon, Ricoh, Canon, Samsung, Sigma, Tamron, EyeFi, and Digital Photo Academy, sponsor the Portraits of Love project along with the USO and PMDA, which is a project that tries to capture a memory for soldiers to take with them when they are deployed. If you have the time/resources/skill it is a worthy cause to donate too. Alpha universe has and interview of a Sony photographer that joined the program, which might interested you if you’re thinking about applying.
Panasonic is rumored to announce a new Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH lens on June 15th. I wonder how this will compare to one of my favorite m43 lenses, the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0 in price/performance.

Camera Store TV isn’t impressed with the new Panasonic GX85 for a variety of good reasons that are probably related to the GH5 being late. Unfortunately the delay of the Panasonic GH5 leaves a gap in our understanding of what the latest and greatest m43 sensors should be capable of, which could cause disappointment. The GX85 is a step above other m43 bodies on the market in many ways, but I think we are approaching a point where reviewers expect more than an incrementally updated sensor in new m43 bodies.
