It’s a long time we are all waiting to get a proper X-PRO 1 successor. I guess the camera will be finally announced during 2015. Fujirumors is spilling out first rumors about the camera:

– APS-C sensor (TS + ASwN + AS)
– 24MP sensor (ASwN) – More than 16MP (ASwN)
– available early/first half of 2015 (NeS)
– tilt screen (AS)
– WiFi (AS)
– Non organic ASP-C X-Trans sensor (ORS)
– Price about 20% to 30% more expensive than the X-T1 (AS)

(TS= trusted source / NeS =New Source / AS = Anonymous Source / AswN = anonymous source with nick-name / SRP = source who was right in the past, but not yet trusted / ORS = other rumor sites)

Photokina is over and I am working to get details about the next announcement period. I can tell you with a 100% certainty that at least those companies will announce new Mirrorless System Cameras in January and February 2015 already and displayed at the CP+ show which starts on Feb 12:

Sony, Olympus and Samsung!

I have no 100% reliable info about Fuji, Canon, Nikon and Panasonic mirrorless announcement during the same time.

Now all I need to know are the specs of those new Sony-Samsung-Olympus cameras…

CanonWatch spotted that Canon Netherland teaser showing a new soon to be announced superzoom and large sensor compact camera. I guess it will feature the same Sony 20,1 MP 1 inch sensor as the G7x. And it will compete against the RX10 and FZ1000 cameras.

Both Sony and Canon will announce Full Frame cameras with around 50 Megapixel during the first quarter of 2015. Those cameras will likely be displayed at the CP+ show which starts in mid February.

The Sony 46 Megapixel FF camera will almost certainly be a new E-mount A7 (or A9?). It will feature an advanced autofocusing system based on the current A6000 hybrid af camera.

Canon is likely to announce a new DSLR with such a 50MP sensor. But there is a small chance Canon could use that sensor also on a new Full Frame mirrorless system camera.

I am 100% sure those kind of sensors are coming early 2015. We have an exciting time ahead of us!

That is a massive let down. Canon big teaser counter and full page advertising on the New York Times was made for a completely unexciting self-producing and self-publishing platform. There is one video on top and another one here if you want to see what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtS39XS513I.

We will no more believe in any Canon teaser :)

CanonWatch spotted that important Canon teaser posted on the New York Time! For weeks now it’s rumored Canon will announce a new High Megapixel camera. And Canon itself also said they could launch a new “mirrorless” mount system. So maybe a serious FF mirrorless is finally coming for real?

I believe that’s a “normal” DSLR camera with around 50MP. But I hope to be proved wrong :)

This is the teaser text:

THIS MESSAGE GOES
OUT TO FEAR, DOUBT,
LOGIC AND REASON.

To excuses, distractions, procrastination, inertia, critics, cynics,
realists, pessimists, resistance, conventional wisdom.
To the peanut gallery, the so-called experts, the good enoughs,
the urges to pass the buck,
the easy way out, the snooze button, the panic button,
and to that little voice in the back of your head that says,
“It can’t be done.”
To all of it, we apologize.

Because we don’t see what you see.

AT CANON, WE SEE IMPOSSIBLE

The first curved sensor camera is that “Selfie” Sony KW1 camera made for the Asian market.

A couple of months ago Sony announced that they had two curved sensors ready fro mass production. The first one is made for compact cameras and Mr.Aoki just confirmed the “weird” KW1 selfie camera is the first one using that!

The second curved sensor is Full Frame and now it’s really easy to guess it’s coming very soon! This should be the long time rumored Full Frame RX with 30+ Megapixel curved sensor and fixed lens 35mm f/1.8 Zeiss!
