Better late than never Right before the new NX210 and NX300 announcement Dpreview (Click here) posted their Samsung NX200 review. The camera earns the Silver Award with a great overall score of 77%. Not a bad result at all.

Check the current price of the NX200 at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.

Canon first attempt to counterattack the mirrorless system cameras is the G1 X. And it’s now in Stock for the first time at Adorama US (Click here). Our friends at Photorumors also found the first unpacking celebration pictures at Rust.se (Click here). And Trustedreviews (Click here) tested the G1 X: “The advantages of this larger sensor are immediately clear to overall image quality, with the G1 X offering class-leading performance in this respect. However, in other areas the G1 X lets itself down somewhat with sluggish operation and niggly performance issues. Image quality purists may well be willing to forgive these flaws, however anyone in the market for a snappy advanced compact with quickfire operation may well be slightly disappointed“.

I don’t think the Canon G1 X is the right camera to compete with mirrorless sytem camera.s But I guess that Canon is juts tasting the terrain before the real big deal!

Fuji promised us that the X PRO 1 has a better resolution and noise handling than Full Frame cameras. To check if that is true visit the Japanese website DSL-check (Click here / via Fujirumors) They posted the ISO comparison between the Fuji and the Canon 5D markII (Click on the image to see the full size image on their website). As you can see you have both a JPEG and RAW comparison. And which one is better?

If you look for more images samples than the famous Japanese website DC.watch (Click here) posted a set of image new Fuji X PRO 1 full size image samples. Scroll down to see them! Also the swedish magazine Alltombild (Click here) posted full size JPEG images. An ISO test has been posted by Itmedia (Click here).

UPDATE: Views on Fuji Xpro1 from Fotosidan (Sweden). Positive impressions from the tester:
Manual focusing – much better than X100
AF – quick if you have something to focus on
2nd camera for pro’s and others with HQ DSLR equipment
1st camera for steet photographers
Very sharp at ISO 200
jpg smearing at high ISO

Real or not this is the very last rumor floating around the chines XITEK forum. While I am pretty sure the NEX-F3 rumor the rest could be a “fake” guess. Anyway, I hope the rumor is real because I like that rumored Full Frame NEX-9

Sony NEX roadmap:
NEX the F3, C3, an upgraded version, 2012 (March)
NEX 5G, 18.3 million pixels, as the upgrade version of 5N 2012 (September)
