DC.watch interviewed Sigma president Yamaki Kazuto. And those are some of the most interesting news:

– He believes time will come when Mirrorless will outsell DSLR. But DSLR will always exist as a niche product.
– We aim to achieve medium and large format quality with our foveon sensor tech
– We receive many request to make a Full Frame Foveon. And we are aware the tendency now is to make larger sensors and with even more Megapixels.
– Sigma has no plan to make an interchangeable mirrorless system camera yet.
– There is no plan yet to make a DP camera with zoom lens

Samsung, Sony and Panasonic confirmed they will announce new products on January 5th. But there will be almost certainly no new mirrorless system (photo)camera. They will announce new TV’s camcorders and maybe compact and fixed lens cameras.

Samsung may be the only exception. There is a new NX400 (or NX500) coming soon. We just don’t know yet if it will be announced at CES or CP+.

DC.watch interviewed Ricoh managers. And there is little info about their mirrorless strategy. Ricoh spends no word on the GXR concept (is it death?) and says they have no plan yet to launch an APS-C interchangeable mirrorless system camera.

So basically the news here is that…there is no news :)

There is now a new Fuji interview at DC.watch. And again instead of telling us what’s coming they tell us what’s not :)

Medium and Full Frame cameras are not on their roadmap. And also organic sensor development is slower than expected and not coming in any near future.

Focus will as expected on new Fuji X Trans APS-C sensor development with increased Megapixel numbers.

Today DC.watch posted the content of the interview with Sony and Olympus. There is no really interesting info about their plans. As expected they will both focus on strengthen their current camera and lens line. Both confirm the trend goes towards realizing Higher Megapixel sensor and better autofocus performance. They also said what they NOT plan to do in the near future: Olympus will not go Full frame yet and Sony will not make an interchangeable Medium Format system yet.

In a double interview at DC.watch, both Canon and Nikon managers confirmed that 2015 is very highly likely becoming the year of the new Megapixel race. And both also sounded very serious about their next steps into the mirrorless world with more “serious” propositions to come.
