It’s a long time we are all waiting to get a proper X-PRO 1 successor. I guess the camera will be finally announced during 2015. Fujirumors is spilling out first rumors about the camera:

– APS-C sensor (TS + ASwN + AS)
– 24MP sensor (ASwN) – More than 16MP (ASwN)
– available early/first half of 2015 (NeS)
– tilt screen (AS)
– WiFi (AS)
– Non organic ASP-C X-Trans sensor (ORS)
– Price about 20% to 30% more expensive than the X-T1 (AS)

(TS= trusted source / NeS =New Source / AS = Anonymous Source / AswN = anonymous source with nick-name / SRP = source who was right in the past, but not yet trusted / ORS = other rumor sites)

Photokina is over and I am working to get details about the next announcement period. I can tell you with a 100% certainty that at least those companies will announce new Mirrorless System Cameras in January and February 2015 already and displayed at the CP+ show which starts on Feb 12:

Sony, Olympus and Samsung!

I have no 100% reliable info about Fuji, Canon, Nikon and Panasonic mirrorless announcement during the same time.

Now all I need to know are the specs of those new Sony-Samsung-Olympus cameras…

CanonWatch spotted that Canon Netherland teaser showing a new soon to be announced superzoom and large sensor compact camera. I guess it will feature the same Sony 20,1 MP 1 inch sensor as the G7x. And it will compete against the RX10 and FZ1000 cameras.

Both Sony and Canon will announce Full Frame cameras with around 50 Megapixel during the first quarter of 2015. Those cameras will likely be displayed at the CP+ show which starts in mid February.

The Sony 46 Megapixel FF camera will almost certainly be a new E-mount A7 (or A9?). It will feature an advanced autofocusing system based on the current A6000 hybrid af camera.

Canon is likely to announce a new DSLR with such a 50MP sensor. But there is a small chance Canon could use that sensor also on a new Full Frame mirrorless system camera.

I am 100% sure those kind of sensors are coming early 2015. We have an exciting time ahead of us!
