According to trusted sources Fuji will announce a new X-M1(?) entry level camera on June 25. This will be a sort of little X-E1 sister without viewfinder but with tillable LCD screen. Also two lenses, the 27mm pancake and a new 16-50mm zoom will be announced along the camera.

I have been told the camera is 30% cheaper than the already discounted Fuji X-E1 (priced at $800 now).

Reminder: Samsung will announce the NX tomorrow (June 20), Sony will announce the RX1R and RX100MII on June 27.

(UPDATED) Now official: Leica D-Lux 6 “G-Star RAW” edition.

Not only Samsung (June 20) and Sony (June 27) will announce new mirrorless cameras. Also Fuji has planed a big showdown for June 25! FR reports:

FIRMWARE: Fujifilm Philippines announced at their website that there will be a new firmware update for the X-E1 and X-PRO1 on the 25 of June. Let’s see what will be improved (or if it just adds support for the 27mm, which is rumored to be launched soon.)

NEW BODY: The new Asian source (who for first told me that Fuji is about to announce 2 new bodies ) just told me that the first mirrorless interchangeable-lens body could be announced on June 25. I remember you that Fuji is about to launch a new X-Trans body and a new non X-Trans body. P.S.: Trusted sources told me that the upcoming very cheap non X-Trans X-body will be offered in many colours.

NEW LENS: Also 2 new lenses, on should be a 16-50/55 zoom lens and the 27mm f/2.8 could be finally released too! Source: FR post.

Panasonic, Olympus,Canon and Nikon seem to have no announcements in June. Their big show is coming in August-September!
