“It’s not a question of whether or not you have a mirror. There is a consumer need for good-quality cameras to be made smaller,” Maeda said. “We will meet this need.”

On July 5, 2011 Canon Masaya Maeda, head of Canon’s camera division, spoke to Reuters and said
“We will launch an interesting product next year,” he said, adding that it would be small, but not specifying whether it would be a mirrorless model.”

Magic Lantern is a custom firmware add-on for Canon dSLR cameras. It is not a hack, or a modified firmware, but it runs alongside Canon’s own firmware, booting from the card every time you turn the camera on. The only modification to the original firmware is the ability to boot software from the card.

Panasonic GF3 at DxOMark Lab

Panasonic GF3 sensor tested at  DxOMark Lab – ” We liked the GF3’s low-light ISO performance, its dimensions, and its price. This said, we were less enchanted by its ISO range, which we found limited its low-ISO scores in the Portrait and Landscape categories. (Its limited ISO also resulted in lower scores for Dynamic Range.) ”
