Micro four thirds telephoto lens. Weird: as far as I can tell (based on the animation) it doesn't extend when you zoom in, like every other lens I've seen.

Very cool. For their next trick I want it in pancake form :)

Cool. I have the Lumix G3 and just bought a gorgeous Olympus 45mm lens (which is equivalent to a 90mm lens on a 35mm camera) that does f1.8. The m4/3 camera is really nice--just the right size to throw in my bag when I'm traveling for work.

I've been a pocket camera person for the past 7 years but the micro 4:3 format is tempting me. Panasonic also has a micro 4:3 300mm lens (600mm equivalent on a 35mm camera) but it's so big that the size advantage of these cameras is negated.

I tried out that 300mm lens in Akiba last week when I was in Tokyo--it's crazy! And yes, it is pretty big.

Piaw: the “entry level” micro four thirds cameras from Panasonic and Olympus seem to skimp on all the controls that I love on the S95. I don't understand why they did that.

The Canon 24-70 f/2.8L gets longer as you go wider. It takes a little while to get used to but works really well with the fixed lens hood.
