Google Caches caches Techradar GF6 preview.

Techrada erroneusly posted and quickly removed the GF6 preview. But Google was too quick for them and chached the full preview. The camera style suggets that it has been now placed right in between the current GF and GX series. And it may means that it will rpelace both the GF5 and GX1.

Both the new GF6 and G6 will be announced on April 9th! And don’t forget that Sony has a live show on Sunday April 7th. But sadly, no new NEX camera is going to be announced :(

Panasonic announcement on April 9th, Sony on April 7th.

Finally we ill see the light of plenty of new products:

1) Panasonic set an announcement for April 9th. The new GF6 and G6 are going to be unveiled and both will likely use the same 16 Megapixel GX1 sensor. And both mark the end of the minuaturization. The GF6 and the G6 are bigger than its rpedecessors!

2) Sony will have an announcement on a quite unusual way. They chosed Sunday(!) for the announcement of their new camcorders. No new NEX camera should come but maybe Hasselblad and Zeiss will announce respectively their Lunar cameras and the three prime lenses.

The NAB show is a very “video” oriented show. It means that I don’t expect pure camera makers like Olympus to announce something. As long as I know a new wave of cameras and lenses will be announced in late April-early may by many companies.

That is not an April fools joke: Modified Sigma DP with interchangeable M-mount!

 

I long asked Sigma to make a DP series with interchangeable lens mount. And someone in China listened to me :)

Over at Taobab (translation here) they are selling modified Sigma DP cameras with an M-mount!!! You have to send in your Sigma DP camera and for1880.00 Yuan ($300 or 230 Euro) they will add you the M-mount. And they plan to add more mounts in future! Sounds great! Will let you know if some of these cameras hit on eBay. Meantime…meditate Sigma..meditate… and give us a serious mirrorless and interchangeable system with an excellent new generation of foveon sensors!
