The X-Pro2 is slowly becoming a myth on the web. It’s rumored for release since early 2014 but its’ still not here for real :)

But the day may comes soon when it will be released if we trust in latest rumors posted by Fujirumors. They report it will be announced in mid 2015 and feature the new sensor we already heard about and also a very useful Dual SD card slot.

And this is the X-PRO2 rumor recap from Fujirumors:

Well, I am sure Canon will release first “advanced” mirrorless system cameras in 2015. And Canon itself hinted the possibility to launch a completely new mirrorless mount system.

CanonWatch now reports that the launch of a 50 Megapixel Mirrorless Full frame camera is likely to happen in 2015.

I am yet not sure if that rumor is likely to become true or not. But we know Sony has a new A9 with high Megapixel sensor coming soon and I guess Canon knows that too…

From EOS-M to EOS-Madness? LOL :)

Fujirumors reports that the reason why the X-PRO2 hasn’t been released yet is because Fuji is “waiting” until a brand new sensor is ready for production.

Fujirumors reports that there may be a new interchangeable lens camera in very early 2015 (likely for CES or Cp+ in January/February)

There is yet no info on specs. But it’s likely the camera will replace both, the current X-A1 and X-M1 entry level cameras.

CanonWatch reports:

have been told (thanks) that Canon Professional Services and Canon sale forces in Germany have informed various big German dealers that Canon HQs are recalling all EOS M models, but are letting all EF-M lenses in stores and branches. Dealers were told that Canon will address the EOS M in December. For the time being it looks as if it will be a development announcement rather than a last minute X-Mas surprise. If the rumor is reliable then Canon might getting serious about the EOS M system.

I’ve also been told that a CPS roadshow is scheduled for May 2015 to showcase new and important products Canon is going to announce in 2015, which possibly could be the rumoured professional cameras Canon may announce.

I also strongly believe Canon and Nikon will finally launch advanced mirrorless cameras during 2015. They cannot afford “to ignore” the mirrorless market anymore.

We all saw that huge Samsung 300mm f/2.8 lens at Photokina. I twill be released in 2015 but there will be also those other three new lenses coming the same year:

– Samsung S 24mm f/1.4 ED

All greta lenses for real!
