Trusted sources at Fujirumors do report the next camera on Fuji’s roadmap will be the X100F. It will be announced in January and those are the specs we know for sure by now:
24MP X-TransIII sensor
same “old” 23mm f/2.0 lens :(
No tilt screen
integrated shutter/ISO dial
Quick update on the Leica M10. According to one source the Leica M10 will be announced around mid January (after the CES show).

Years ago Sony patented a Full Frame curved sensor design for a fixed lens camera. They yet have to unveil such a product but in the meantime Toshiba and Canon patented such designs too:
The Toshiba patent looks like this:
The Canon patent proposes two variations. A fully curved sensor and a sensor flat in the center and curved on the edge:
A fully curved sensor would require the launch of a completely new system camera as the lenses would have to be redesigned. While the Canon sensor design with flat center and curved edges might work with current lens designs too.
Fujirumors leaked what should be the first image of the new Fuji X100F. The image is very grainy but you can still see a couple of major changes on the design when comparing it with the current X100T model:
By the way, the lens is rumored to be still the same “old” 23mm glas.
Tomorrow (nov 30) Casio will announce the new “EX-FR110H” compact camera. It will be a special “High-Sensitivity” model that can see in the dark.

Let me catch up with some of the rumros floating on the web:
Egami spotted a new Nikon patent which describes a new 2-Layer sensor. On top it has a phase detection autofocus layer and below the “normal” RGB sensor. This would allow Nikon to have advanced professional autofocus system on mirrorless system cameras.
Of course, we don’t long it will take for Nikon to make this new tech available on a production camera. Let’s hope this is coming soon!
