Samyang will announce a newly designed APS-C lens for "some" mirrorless system. I heard it's certainly coming for Micro Four Thirds. But I guess Samyang will launch E and X mount versions too.
I have been told the lens has a high optical quality but still the famous Samyang low pricing :)
Sounds great!!!
Fuji issued the new lens roadmap and includes the lenses that have been already "rumored" before. The 16mm f/1.4 and 90mm f/2.0.
The mentioned super telezoom will be a 120-400mm lens according to Fujirumors.
And here is the official Fuji press text about the new roadmap:
“FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is pleased to release an updated road map for X mount interchangeable lenses.
A large-diameter medium telephoto lens (the XF90mmF2 R) features for the first time on the development road map for end 2015. The next available lens will be the XF50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR. Following on from the XF18-135mm lens, this will be Fujifilm’s second weather resistant lens designed to partner its X-T1 camera.
Other updates to the road map include the previously announced “Ultra-wide angle lens” being confirmed as the “XF16mmF1.4 R” with a guide launch date of mid 2015. And the planned launch of the XF16-55mmF2.8 R WR lens moving to Spring 2015 and the Super Tele-Photo Zoom lens to Winter 2015.
Highly regarded for their outstanding image quality, resolution and well-built bodies, the unique X mount lens range now includes super-wide angle to super-telephoto range lenses and a large-diameter lens with rich bokeh and high resolution.”
A pretty much save rumor is that Fuji will announce the new X100T. Well officially Fuji photographer David Hobby erroneously published some image samples taken with the yet unannounced camera on Flickr (page has now been removed).
But on Reddit you can still find the Exif image proving those images where from the X100T. The camera specs according to Fujirumors are:
24MP X-Trans sensor
faster AF than X100S
tilt screen
new fixed lens
new EVF, better than X100S, but not as much as X-T1
wider phase detection area
The camera will be announced in 4-6 weeks!
I like the Name X200S Better.
Evf in x-e2 is pretty outstanding with the latest fw. Perhaps x100t will share it.
These are the full specs of the upcoming new ultracompact, ultrafast and first curved sensor camera! It will feature a 2/3 inch curved sensor and use a damn compact 20mm f/1.2 lens.
The new sensor has the same signal to noise ration of a Canon 5DmarkIII. Quite amazing!
If we trust the 6,67mm diagonal and 7,83mm focal length then equivalent focal length would be about 50mm and equivalent aperture (in terms of both DOF and total light gathering) would be about f/7,7.
Appears to be a cell phone camera (based on rumor on DPReview Connect), if true it will probably be my next cell phone :)
The curved sensor has significantimpact on the field of view. As already said, if placed behind (or, should I say, around) a lens of short flange distance, a curved sensor is equivalent to a much wider planar projection. Hence, the usual equivalen...
If you think Sony is done with releasing new Full Frame E-mount camera you might be wrong! The Indonesian agency Postel registered the name of a new Sony interchangeable camera having the code “WW024382“. That sort of code was used in the past for the Sony A7 cameras. Sony could release that new model in August. No specs are known yet.
And Olympus is said to release a new firmware update for the E-M1 that adds 4K video recording. Is it really that easy? We will see it soon...
If those lenses had come to the market, Sony ff could have seriously challenged Canikon. I think they are going in the wrong direction, by releasing a lot of bodies and lens mounts, and few interesting lenses.
It's like producing very fast c...
Icinsights posted a forecast about the camera market till 2017. And the market is expected to shrink:
Worldwide DSC shipments are expected to fall by a CAGR of -10% between 2012 and 2017 compared to an annual average growth rate of just 1% in the 2007-2012 period and nearly 31% per year in the 2002-2007 timeframe.
But there are two positive news: The System Camera Market is expected to growth further. And that's also the most profitable business for the camera producers. And the "non-conventional" camera market for Tablet-smartphones-medical-car-surveillance is expected to grow too!
I still can't understand why should someone be hurt, today I might dream of camera and tomorrow when new camera introduce i will dream of another, I can separate from dSLR and mirrorless but investment got nothing to do with which system sells bet...
I said separate between the two, but both exist. If some type of camera that you deem essential for your photo is discontinued, you are going to be hurt.
Also separating between dSLR and mirrorless makes sense, because they are handled differen...
IMHO it's going to end badly for camera makers, unless they face the next revolution. That is why I wrote on Wearable Glass:
Like you know the superzoom compact camera market is still growing and that's why we already have the next new superzoom announcement: Ricoh launched the new Pentax XG-1 (specs here at BH).
It doesn't feature a large 1 inch sensor like the recently unveieled Panasonic FZ1000. But it costs also less than a half!
Well, technically anything but SLRs (or even TLRs) IS mirrorless...
(Sorry, bad joke)
Had another look at the RX100mk3, really nice. And a Canon 100D with a 18-135 kit lens is selling for around 700 - less than the RX100 or RX10! (each around 850). But that RX100 viewfinder is real neat, shame about the zoom range.
But I agre...
You may be true, but when comparing consumer DSLRs with CSCs, you have to take price into consideration: entry-level Canon/Nikon/Pentax DSLRs cost some 300-400 eur, while the Sony a6000/ Pana GX7 are middle class/high-end CSCs not only regarding t...

Hybrid viewfinder lovers will be happy to hear that Fuji is likely going to announce a new X-PRO2 and X200 camera at Photokina in September. Both will feature a new APS-C X-Trans sensor. No guys, these will not be organic sensors (they will come in two years from now).
The specs of the cameras are yet unkown. But before the two big guys Fuji will also announce the new X30 compact camera with 1 inch sensor.
Really a great time for Fuji fans!

Back in January Samsung unveiled that a new NX1 flagship camera would come this year (article here). And now Photorumors reports that this camera will shoot 4K video and feature a new 28 Megapixel APS-C sensor.
After the GH4 and Sony A7s this would become the third mirrorless camera shooting 4K. But I think more companies (Canon, Olympus for example) will announce 4K cameras at Photokina.
I am a bit surprised to hear the camera will feature a 28 MP sensor. It would become the highest resolution APS-C camera to date. And unlike the GH4 and A7s such a sensor could show more moiree and issues on 4K videos. Or did Samsung find a way to solve that problem?
After many months of work and lot of issues to solve our first beta of the new MirrorlessRumor theme is online.
The first thing you have to know is that this isn't just a redesign. We completely rethinked the way a rumor site should work!
What I learned from these years on MirrorlessRumors is that:
1) There are many mirrorless camera owners that have the knowledge and passion to share interesting news. They can finally do that directly without having to contact the administrators!
2) For me (the admin) it is impossible to be online 24h per day. And with your help I can avoid to miss important news or rumors. This will keep the site always up to date.
That's why:
From now on this becomes a community where everyone can post directly news and rumors! To do so you are kindly invited to become a member of this site. Check out what you can do by clicking on the Member Panel you see on top right of the site (it shows only after your registration and login).
How it works and what you can do:
1) You can submit articles that will be reviewed by our admins (for now this is just...me). If approved they will get online.
2) You can comment articles
3) You will get votes for approved posts (100 points) and 1 point for every like on your posts or comments (or -1 point if someone dislikes)
4) If you want and I can trust you...than you can ask to become an admin. As admin you can write posts without my moderation and review other members articles.
What do you gain by joining the community?
1) You can promote your work, your sites and let the community know who you are! You are free to write post and link back to your Blog and Portfolios. Use MR to get known!
2) Less trolls. Now only approved members can comment and heavy trolls will be first warned and eventually kicked out if they don't follow the very basic rules of respect.
...and many more "reasons" to join will be online soon!
Remember:
This is just a very early beta. We need to launch the site as it is to check out if everything works fine before we do keep adding features. So please, join the site, try the features and I hope you will like what we have done so far!
Thanks a lot!
Peter, Andrea, Ale, Doug, Patrick, Stefan

XF 16-55 f/2.8 R WR has lost its OIS (in-lens stabilisation)... :-(
That does round things out more. Next stop: super-tele primes!
The 16mm f1.4 must ne really nice and almost unique in aps-c. Fuji is continuing the road towards ultra fast lenses.
90mm f2 can be interesting if much smaller than those 85mm f1.4.
