The biggest hit at Photokina? It could be the Samsung NX1!

Well, we are slowly getting a clear picture about what’s coming.

1) Sony will focus on their A-mount stuff and “only” announced lenses for their mirrorless system (Zeiss Loxia and “normal” FE Sony lenses).

2) Panasonic will announce the LX1000 (fixed lens) and GM2 4K capable cameras

3) Olympus will announced the E-Pl7 today and is coming with a Silver E-M1 and new 40-150mm Pro lenses in a few days.

4) Canon/Nikon: Nothing serious on the horizon

5) Fuji “could” but also “could not” showcase a prototype of the 2015 X-PRO 2

So what could become the big hit at Photokina? Well it will come from an unexpected company: Samsung!

I have been told by sources the camera has the potential to become the best APS-C camera on market. It has a terrific EVF, over 10fps, brand new close to 30MP sensor and fastest AF on market. It looks like a modern camera (no retro style says redcrow).

I really can’t wait to learn more about that camera….

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!

Sigma DP2 Quattro: First full size images and ISO test!

The new Sigma DP2 Quattro promises to deliver “almost” medium format quality on a tiny APS-C sensor. So let’s check these new image samples to see if it’s true!

Yodobashi posted some low resolution image samples and included a rough ISO test. Also Mapcamera posted some nice images but again no high resolution version. To find them you have to click over at Digitalcamera and Sigma-Japan. They posted some high resolution images you can download to pixel peep!

And what do you think?

For once the Megapixel madness is over thanks to the new Sony A7s. And this allows you to shoot that kind of crazy low light stuff like the “candle-light” video you see here on top! Amazing!

Also Photoblog.hk posted two new videos: A Frame rate speed test (youtube video here) and an Autofocus test (youtube video here).
