The much-rumoured Panasonic GH2 probably won’t be much of a surprise when it’s announced tomorrow. Especially as Panasonic didn’t exactly keep their big Photokina secret by erecting giant-sized posters of their new video-superstar Micro Four Thirds camera all around the show grounds. Someone obviously made a major boo-boo, as crewmen were hurriedly draping the offending posters in even bigger black cloths to try and put the horse back in its stable…

The Nikon D7000 is a dust- and moisture-sealed 16.2-megapixel DX-format DSLR camera with a 39-point AF system, 14-bit analogue-to-digital conversion, 6fps continuous shooting, dual memory card slots and Full HD video with full-time autofocus and manual exposure control. The new AF module includes 9 cross-type sensors in the central part of the frame.

Also new is the 2,016-pixel 3D Colour Matrix meter, which Nikon calls “groundbreaking”. The Nikon D7000 has a native ISO range of 100-6400 that can be expanded to ISO 25,600; another first in a Nikon DX camera. The video mode of the D7000 offers variable frame rates of 20, 24 or 30fps at 720p, and cinema-standard 24fps at the 1080p setting. In the US, the Nikon D7000 will be available from mid-October priced at $1199.95 for body only and $1499.95 for body and lens outfit that includes the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens.

Olympus Japan has posted a few full-resolution sample images captured with the new Olympus E-5 digital SLR camera. Two of these were shot using the Zuiko Digital ED 50mm f2 Macro lens (one with the EC-14 teleconverter), whilst a third was captured using the Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD, a High Grade zoom.

A company called Soviet Montage Productions has released a short HDR video captured using two Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR cameras and a beam splitter. The two cameras used different exposure settings but - thanks to the beam splitter - filmed the exact same scene, allowing the two pieces of footage to be blended and tone-mapped in software. The result is a more realistic and more “film-like” video, as you can see below.
