This is the first leaked image of the new Leica C-LUX compact camera. It will be announced soon.

Nokishita is spoiling us what’s coming next from Leica: A new FF SL mirrorless and a new C-LUX compact. The additional info I have is that both are made in collaboration with Panasonic. The new FF SL mirrorless has lots of Panasonic electronics inside while the new C-LUX should be a near identical copy of one of the current Panasonic compacts.

Nokishita) spotted another Fuji camera registration. We now have a total of three Fuji camera codes. According to Fujirumors these cameras will be the new X-T3, GFX 50R and XF10.

Sony lovers will have an exciting week:

On top you can see the leaked image of a new Samyang 24mm f/2.8 FE autofocus lens that will be announced within days. But that isn’t all:

Sony will announce the new RX100MVI within 24-48 hours. As usual with Sony we might get a surprise too. I would love to get a new RX1 camera and you?

In a very short time the price of the X1D-50c dropped from 8500 down to 4999 Euro (Kamera Express). The price drop is so big that I really think the X1D-100c announcement is coming very soon. The Hasselblad now costs 2000 Euro less than the Fuji too.

Keep in mind that the X1D was announced three months ahead of the Fuji GFX. So it might be that Hasselblad will announce the new X1D-100c at Photokina and Fuji will announce their GFX-100 in early 2019.

These should be the Hasselblad X1D-100c specs:

New 44x33mm 100MP Backilluminated Sony sensor
On sensor phase detection pixels for faster autofocus
ISO range 50-6400
Dynamic range 83dB
4K video at 30fps
The sensor can also record video at 8K at 18fps but I doubt Hasselblad will enable this
Price $899 or 8500 Euro.

The Fuji will have same or very similar specs but probably be a tiny bit cheaper.

Nikon just registered the name “Noct” within the camera and lens category. It’s unclear if that brand name will be used for the new mirrorless camera or lens line. Of course “Noct” somehow reminds us all of the “Noctilux” lenses from Leica. I doubt Leica would allow such a close definition for future Nikon FF lenses. What’s your guess?

Nokishita reports the XF10 entry level camera will be announced on July 5. But there are four more “mirrorless/compact” cameras that should be announced soon too:

A new Sony
Two new Leicas
And another new Fuji

There are no specs or any other details about these cameras yet.
