If you have your hands ready on your wallet to buy a Fuji camera and lens wait 24 hours! Tomorrow Fuji will launch a $200 rebate on both Fuji X-E1 and X PRo1 cameras. Plus new instant rebates on all new X lenses!
By the way, the first Zeiss Touit X-mount lenses are in Stock in USA! Here: and .
Fujirumors got some more tibits about the two new Fuji X cameras coming this summer. As I told you before both are entry level system cameras having no viewfinder. The main difference will be the sensor. One has an X-Trans sensor while the other has not. One camera (we don’t know which one) will be announced soon in late June and the other one in late August-early September.
According to FR sources the X-Trans sensor camera will be named X-A1 and have a tilt screen. That would be the first X system camera having it!
Still, it really sounds surprising Fuji comes with two entry level cameras!
DC.fever (google translated) published these images of the final Kodak S1 MFT production version. But there is still no info about the price and specs.
Short update on the Leica Mini M rumor. I got feedback from trusted sources and they confirmed that the image and specs I posted yesterday are correct.
One more thing: Quite many people argued that the Leica Mini M image must be fake because of the 28-70mm FF equivalent marks on the lens while the front of the lens says “18-46mm”. I just want to remind you that actually this confirms that the image is real :) Because the past Leica Digilux series had exactly that kind of “double” markings. See the images of the Digitlux 2 at Amazon (Click here). The camera has a 7 – 22.5 mm lens (marked on the front of the lens) and a zoom ring with the 28 – 90 mm equivalent mark. To make it easy for you I show you the image here:
So have peace. That’s the camera Leica will announce on June 11! It is going to challenge the Hasselblad Lunar in the category “most non-sense camera of the year” :)
And here we have the next new Samyang-Rokinon lens! After the 16mmf /2.0 image “leak” we now have the first video and images of the soon to be announced Rokinon 300mm f/6.3 mirrorless lens for Mirrorless systems. It has been posted by an official Asian Samyang retailer on facebook.
UPDATE: Release date will be beginning of July. MSRP will be $299
LOL, I have been right! The Leica Mini M is an APS-C sensor camera with fixed zoom lens! These are the specs:
– Leica Elmar 28-70mm f/3.5-6.4 (FF equivalent)
– 16,1 Megapixel APS-C sensor.
– external electronic viewfinder can be used
– Full Aluminum body
– FullHD recording
– Bundled with Photoshop Lightroom.
Share the news!!! The Camera will be announced on June 11 according to Leica. (Thanks A.!).
UDPATE: Price is 2450€! $500 more than the Leica X2 (here at Amazon).

Sony is planing a real massive attack on the Full Frame mirrorless front. According to trusted sources Sony could launch two new A-mount and one new E-mount Full Frame cameras in 2014. Little is known about the cameras. They will feature a new generation 30+ Megapixel sensor and new advanced on sensor phase detection autofocus. The first camera to be announced will be one of the A-mount FF in early 2014. The other two could be announced at Photokina in September (2014!).
Sony is betting big on Mirrorless. This may be the one chance for them to finally grab some more significant market share in the Canonikan dominated High End FF market.
