Let’s start the week with a couple of new mini-rumors:

Fujirumors report:

Thanks to a new source, we now know that, instead of an ISO dial, the Fujifilm X-T10 will feature a function dial! They have basically made a big dial out of the little one under the ISO dial. So you’ll still have a dial to set BKT, CH, CL, Double Exposure, Panorama…

43rumors reports that Panasonic will display the G7 and Olympus the new 7-14mm and 8mm PRO lenses at an event in Berlin on May 29.

I am pretty sure Fujirumors is spot on here: The Fuji X-T10 will be announced on may 18! I got similar rumors from my sources and there is little that can go wrong now.

The X-T10 has no ISO dial, X-E2 EVF and built in flash. The real question is how much you will have to pay for it. I hope it will be really cheap because otherwise I doubt it will sell fine!

I have yet no specs but a Leica source just told me the camera will be announced tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what kind of sensor the new camera will use. I once heard Sony made a monochrome FF sensor. Maybe the new Leica will use it?

Apparently the reason why Samsung delayed the new firmware release for the NX1 is quite…surprising:

A source who shared correct Samsung rumors in the past told me that Samsung has “rewritten” the NX1 code. I don’t know how deep those changes are. We will likely see that new NX1 code with the next firmware update. Let’s hope this means we can expect some great improvements!
 

April is almost over and in May we will get plenty of new cameras and lenses. Here is a roundup of the planned announcements:

Sony will announce the A7rII by mid-end May. The A6100 could be announced on the same event or in June along the new RX cameras

Fuji will announce the X-T10 in mid May.

Panasonic will announce the G7 in mid May.

Olympus will release the pricing info of the new 7-14mm PRO lens that will ship in late June (see BHphoto).

Digicameinfo spotted the name of a new Leica Monochrome camera registered by the Korean RRA agency.

We have yet no info about the possible specs of the camera! All I got is that there may be a new Leica announcement in mid-end May!

Nikonrumors reports that Nikon is developing a Full Frame Mirrorless camera. In a recent interview at Dpreview Nikon stated that there would be no need for a larger sensor mirrorless camera. But maybe they were just trying to hide their cards. What’s strange with the rumor is that apparently Nikon will keep the regular DSLR F-mount for that camera! Just like Pentax did with their bulky K-mount mirrorless cam. Don’t know if it makes sense to keep a mount with long flange distance for a mirrorless camera…

Anyway, those are the rumored spec of the camera:
mirrorless / mirrorless-styled
the camera will be small (about the same size as the Olympus E-M1)
no EVF
regular F mount
currently being field tested
the official announcement is expected in late 2015 or early 2016
