These are the first images of the new Pentax Q2 leaked by Digicameinfo. There are no specs yet but I am sure the camera will be announced within the next few days already!
This is really a wild rumor but I got it via some trusted source. He says that he "heard" about a new Nikon camera system that could be launched at Photokina. And the first camera will feature the current Sony 50MP medium format sensor used by all newest generation Hasselblad, Phase one and Pentax MF cameras!
Latest rumors coming via Fujirumors suggest the new X30 will keep the same sensor size as the current X20. Fuji is not going to increase the sensor size like Sony and Panasonic did. But the likely most disappointing news is that the X30 will get rid of the Optical Viewfinder and get a "simple" electronic viewfinder instead.
All that doesn't really sound exciting to me. The Optical Viewfinder was a big feature that made stand out the X20. Don't think the Fuji X30 can become a real challenger of the Sony RX series and the future 1 inch Panasonic LX8.

I have to agree with Dante. Maybe we'll see some other great upgrades that we don't know about, yet, but as far as I see, the new X30 has a bitter flavor of disappointment.

Disappointing. The rx100 iii is getting raves, and this new Fuji is going to probably be no better than the existing rx100 ii (($649)
The Fuji X-M1 with kit lens now sells for $399 only via Newegg eBay (Click here). It's $200 less than the other US store price ($599 here at Amazon). Never you had the chance to spend that less to get a porper X mount camera!

It does in a way, it's called the X-E2 or X Pro1
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!!!

If it were a 50mm f1.2 at the price, say, of the samyang 85mm f1.4, I'd probably buy it. But f1.5 is not outstanding at all. Not even 1.4, since you can buy a lot of great legacy lenses at 50-100€.
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.”

XF 16-55 f/2.8 R WR has lost its OIS (in-lens stabilisation)... :-(

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.
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!

Evf in x-e2 is pretty outstanding with the latest fw. Perhaps x100t will share it.
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...
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!

Tripled buffer compared to nx300
Embedded gps
Expected prices: 650$ and 850$
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!

I doubt this rumor is true. The MF digital market is miniscule, Nikon already has to design and market three lens types already, and stitching full-frame images gives you MF digital quality anyway. The market of people who would want another MF di...
This seem highly unlikely.
Could Nikon decide to build a new lens mount and some lenses for it? Sure, but a mirrorless one able to cope with APS-C and FF sensors would be much, much, much higher on their agenda then a medium format camera .....
Nikon already have a slew of LF lenses for 4x5 and larger. Many of them sell for chips. If the camera was modular (I hope), the back could be detached and used on a 4x5 camera or even something like the Novoflex BALPRO T/s with any lens.
