Fuji to copy Olympus: Makes entry level X-T1?

Olympus did it with their OMD line. The E-M5 had a huge success and they therefore expanded the OMD line at the top (E-M1) and the bottom (E-M10).

And if Fujirumors is telling us the truth than this could happen with the X-T1 line too. FR says a new entry level X-T1 will be announced within the next couple of months.

There is yet no specific info about the camera but I think it could become a hotseller if Fuji doesn’t strip to many X-T1 features from it!

Nikon1 J5 and plenty of Fuji compact camers to be announced within next few weeks!

An official public Russian agency registered the name of soon to be announced Nikon and Fuji cameras:

Nikon will announce the J5 mirrorless system camera (and many other fixed lens cameras). Fuji will announce the FinePix XP80?S9800?S9900W, XP81?XP85?S9950W?S9850?S9750 fixed lens compact cameras.

All that stuff will be announced before the CP+ show that starts on February 12.

Thanks Digicameinfo for finding the news!

Olympus E-M5II and Panasonic GF7 coming for sure at CP+ in February!

There is no single doubt that we will get these two new Micro Four Third camera in early February:

The Olympus E-M5II: has the same E-M5 sensor but new sensor shift mode to create up to 40MP images by combining 8 images. It also has All-Intra video at 50Mb/s.4K.

The Panasonic GF7: the name has been officially registered by Panasonic in Korea. Little is known about the camera specs but it will certainly not have 4K recording.
