Fuji and Sony are both hot candidates to launch the first Full Frame mirrorless system competing the expansive and luxury [shoplink 100116 ebay]Leica M series[/shoplink]. For months now I am working to collect info about their 2013 strategy and form what I got from trusted and also from new sources neither Fuji nor Sony will announce such a system within the next 8-10 months. At the same time I have been told that both are developing a FF system but there is a series of challenges that will have to be solved first. Both Fuji and Sony for example have to develop lenses for their current X and NEX systems. They cannot afford to launch a new system yet.

After all these years that Leica is cashing money on the [shoplink 100116 ebay]Leica M series[/shoplink] I am still surprised that nobody ever made a competitor!

Sigma stated multiple times that they will not launch their own mirrorless system so I guess the patent you can see at Egami will be applied to expand their fixed lens DP camera series. There you can see the design and specs of a 30mm f/2.8, 30mm f/2.5, 28mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/2.8 and a 55mm f/2.8 lens. All these will come with built-in stabilization system and inner focusing.

I still believe they should do a full interchangeable mirrorless system. But of course that’s just my modest opinion… :)
