More details about two upcoming mirrorless cameras spilled out on the web:

1) The Olympus E-Pl7 will be announced the next few days. And it has the same E-M10 specs but comes without the built-in EVF from the OMD

2) The Fuji X200 will be announced late August right before Photokina. It will feature a 24MP X-trans (APS-C) sensor. It will also have a new fixed lens (no specs known yet).

Sigma DP2 Quattro shows impressive performance compared to the Sony A7r and Leica S medium format!

Lesnumeriques (google translation here) compared the new Sigma DP2 Quattro quality against the Sony A7r and Leica S2. As you can see from the High Resolution images on their page at ISO 100 the Sigma shows an amazing sharpness and detail. Just imaging if Sigma would make a FF or even MF Foveon sensor!

World’s first image taken with the famous new Sony curved sensor!

That image doesn’t look exciting at all but it’s precious because it’s actually the first photo taken with a Sony curved sensor!

It has been shared by Sony to Nikkei.jp. NIkkei reports the sensor are production ready and while the sensor has plenty of advantages (no vignetting, allows faster and compact lens design and so on) it has also one huge issue. Sony said it’s very difficult to design zoom lenses for it.

Sony is rumored to launch such a sensor with the next RX1 fixed lens successor!
