THere is little doubt now that Samsungs camera business is fading out. And a couple of long time Samsung sources told me the Korean company will make a major statement at the CES event in early January. I have also been told to expect one major surprise!
Stay tuned on Mirrorlessrumors!
After many rumors it seems like we got a first evidence about a new and first f/2.8 FE zoom from Sony. SAR reports the 24-70mm f/2.8 FE G lens got registered at Sony Assist system. Not sure though if it means the lens will be announced before the end of the year. And it’s quite strange to see that Sony’s G lens will be faster (and better?) then the 24-70mm Zeiss version.

In many occasions Fuji stated they do not plan to go Full Frame any time soon. And it seems like they really meant it seriously. But there is one major surprise to report today: Fujirumors.com said Fuji is developing an interchangeable Medium Format system! There is yet no info about possible launch date and specs. But it’s a very intriguing move from Fuji!
If the rumor turns out to be true that Fuji will place themselves a step above the Sony FE and other future Full Frame mirrorless systems from Canon and Nikon. They will therefore play in an own league with virtually zero competition. The real question is if the system will not be too expensive to generate noticeable sales and revenue. So please dear Fuji, make it “affordable” ok?
CanonWatch spotted a new patent for the Canon EOS Cinema camera line. It’s an imrpessive 25-125mm f/2.8 lens. Full specs here:
rangefinder.com.hk posted that picture of a strange new Leica camera. This could be the new X-U model which has been registered in Asia. It’s a waterproof fixed lens camera.
