A collector from Alameda (California) just decided to sell his huge collection of film cameras that includes over 1,000 pieces! The full acution details can be seen on . And those are almost all fully working cameras from Canon, Nikon, Rollei, Yashica, Ricoh, Polaroids, Kodak, Fuji, Pentax, Petri, Pax, Mamiya, etc. Damn what a collection!

There is almost no more doubt that Sony will announce the new NEX-3n next week. The NEX-7 successor will follow in late Spring-early Summer. But we just heard that also Panasonic may have an announcement very soon! Not sure yet if they will introduce the new GF or G or both at the same time. If you are waiting for some Olympus news than guys you may have to wait a lot! The E-P2 and the first f/2.8 constant zoom may come in June only.
Overall it looks like Sony, Panasonic, Fuji and Olympus will wait for the second half of the year to announce the more “heavy” stuff. SO let’s hope at leats that Samsung FF March release rumor wasn’t just a false hope!
The likely most “exotic” of all mirrorless and interchangeable lens cameras just got DxOamrked (Click here). And the sensor performance is actually surprising! The Q10 matches the quality of the 12 Megapixel Micro Four Thirds cameras! That0s a huge surprise considering the big sensor size difference. Chapeau Pentax! The once again proved that they are capable of squeezing out all the quality they can from their (Sony) sensors.
P.S.: Good for MFT that their latest generation sensors marked a huge leap forward. Otherwise this would be very embarrassing for them :)
The new Pentax MX-1 isn’t certainly as famous as the Fuji X100 (or the newer X100s) but it’s a worthy competitor. Just check out the video on top to see what TheCameraStoreTV team thinks of the camera!

And now look at this…it si the The Photographer’s Outlook on 2013 made by Photoshelter:
Short update about the new Sony NEX-3n. The February 20th announcement will bring us only the new Sony NEX-3N with same 16Megapixel sensor as the F3. There will be no NEX-7 successor yet and no other new E-mount lens. But I have been told that another announcement will follow in early April and another one in June. And by than we will have new E-mount lenses and even the new NEX-7 successor!
Regarding the Full Frame NEX: The camera is still in development and no final decision has yet been taken. One thing is sure, it is not coming within this year. So let’s hope for Samsung next month… :)
Even if you don’t care about the new Playstaton that is going to be announced soon on February 20th you should keep a close eye on the event. There is a fair chance that Sony will introduce the new NEX-3n camera that today got leaked at SAR. It’s not that much different from the current NEX-F3. The major change will be that tiny electronic zoom option you can see on the picture. There is no info yet about possible new E-mount lens announcements although we know that So
ny plans to launch a Zeiss zoom and a 85mm f/1.8 later this year.
And let’s keep talking about lenses. Olympus is rumored to launch soon the first of the two f/2.8 constant aperture and high quality MFT lenses that will hit the market within 2013. No specs are available yet but the lenses will be similar to the current Panasonic X lenses (12-35mm and 35-100mm) while delivering a higher image quality compared to the latter.
P.S.: Some bird told me the NEX-7 successor isn’t far away too ;)
