Canonwatch got his hands on two yet unpublished EOS-M3 images. For the first time we see the back of the camera too. He also notes that:

the EOS M3 is compatible with Canon’s EVF-DC1 electronic viewfinder first released for the Powershot G1 X Mark II.

The camera will be announced on Friday at 6 am London time! Stay tuned here on Mirrorlessrumors. I will blog live and update you with all news and reviews about the camera (and some info on the crazy 50MP Canon sensor coming with the 5ds).

This is the very first image of the new Canon EOS-M3 that will be announced on Friday. The specs are yet unclear but it’s certainly not going to be a 50MP camera like the crazy 5Ds :)

Fujirumors posted a set of very wild rumors on upcoming Fuji stuff. It’s coming via Chinese sources so keep it with a grain of salt. Particularly that strange dual mount rumor:

1) X-Pro2 will not be launched on first quarter of 2015, but there are 2 SPEC… [FUJIRUMORS: It’s probably correct that the X-PRO2 won’t come in the first quarter. I’m not sure what “but there are 2 SPEC” means. Probably 2 versions (“species”).]

2) XF20 F2.8 (equal = 30MM / pancake) or XF18 F2.8(equal = 27MM / pancake), will be launching soon.

3) XF35 F1.4(II) , better IQ & bokeh & focus speed a bit faster than XF23, price over HK$ 4000 [FUJIRUMORS: there were rumors in 2014 about it. Apparently Fuji tested an APD version of it, but then dismissed it – source Fuji Manager]

4) OCT-DEC will be a big cannon show up (4XX) (*Forum ppl believe is 140 -400mm)

5) DUAL MOUNT PRODUCT may launch in mid of the year [FUJIRUMORS: My comment about this down below]

6) New phase auto focus system (can compete with DSLR), will come out in X-Mount. [FUJIRUMORS: why not? Sony’s bestseller, the A6000, shows the way]

7) High Speed Pro Flash light, synchronize rate improve to pro standard [FUJIRUMORS: New flash coming in spring]

8) Body will back light prevention setting system (2015 mid / year-end)

9) New fix lens camera will launching before March (” X ” 1 – 2 model) [FUJIRUMORS: He could mean the XQ2, since it was shared on the dchome forum before the official announcement of the XQ2]

10) X-M1 successor already develop, just do not know will launch or not

11) Fuji Japan still analyses a program that user by pay some amount of $$ and can upgrade the part (item (5)- (8) ). They hope user can use the model for longer time without refresh model too fast.

12) XF16 1.4 – Hot summer launching

13) google translated: “X-E3 has a row you wait for” [FUJIRUMORS: sounds like Fuji is debating (has a row) regarding the X-E2 successor, which eventually is expected to come in 2016, since, according to joofei… (see Nr.14)

14) X-E3 => 2016

43rumors spotted a Tweet unveileing that another company will join the Micro Four Thirds system soon.

And Egami spotted a patent showing a new Tamron 28-320mm f/3.5-6.3 Full Frame E-mount lens design. Sounds very likely that Tamron will finally make FE lenses for Sony!
