This could upset the brand new X-T1 owners but Fuji is really already going to offer a new hardware updated X-T1P camera soon!

Fujirumors reports that among the hardware changes there will be a new 4K viewfinder! And now, this doesn’t mean the X-T1P will have 4K recording capability. The new X-T1P will have the same “sub-par” video performance.

The camera will be officially unveiled the beginning of July. And I am wondering why Fuji hurried that much to bring an updated X-T1…

Our Japanese “rumorfriends” from Digicameinfo shared that image of the final Fuji XF 18-135mm f/ 3.5-5.6 R LM OIS lens. It’s a weather sealed lens that will cost 108,000 yen (tax included). That’s about $1,000 or 800 Euro.

The lens will be announced next Monday (June 16).

Digicameinfo just shared that image of the new Panasonic FZ1000 super zoom camera. And the real amazing thing here are the specs which seem to say: Kiss my butt dear Sony RX10 :)
Unlike the Sony it has a much larger zoom range of 25-400mm f/2.8-4.0 (vs 24-200mm f/2.8 from the Sony).
The sensor size is the same (1 inch) but the Panasonic records 4K videos too!

Full FZ1000 specs:

– 1.0-inch CMOS sensor 
– Venus engine
– 25-400mm equivalent f/2.8-4.0 Leica DC Vario Elmarit lens.
– Lens configuration is 15 pieces in 11 groups. 5 aspherical lens (8 Side)
– AF linear motor. AF speed is 0.09 seconds
– 0.66 seconds start-up time
– 4K video 
– 4K PHOTO to cut out a still image of 8 million pixels from 4K video
– The space recognition AF by DFD
– EVF is 2.36 million dot-inch organic EL 0.39
– A monitor 920,000 dot 3.0-inch
– Continuous shooting 12 frames / second
– Wi-Fi, NFC
– Focus peaking, ring type manual focus
– Camera RAW development

The new weather sealed Fuji 18-135mm XF lens and the new Sigma DP Quattro pricing could be announced next week.

We still don’t know what the big Fuji announcement will bring us on June 19. Fuji France promised us something unique…

That would be really a huge surprise: 5 months after the X-T1 announcement Fuji will deliver a “hardware upgraded” X-T1b!

This is quite a unique thing and hopefully this will not upset the brand new X-T1 owners! I would really like to know why Fuji did hurry to deliver such an update camera. Fujirumors reports that little is known about the new features but one of them could be a higher resolution EVF:

LX7 and RX100 side by side (DSLRmagazine).

Rumors about a 1 inch sensor compact and fixed lens Panasonic LX8 camera are floating around the web for weeks now. And we already know that it will be announced on July 16, have a built-in EVF (just like the new Sony RX100M3) and keep the LX line look and size.

Now DR.Photorumor reports this little camera will also shoot 4K making it the smallest 4K camera of the world (with a larger 1 inch sensor or above).

Sadly this little wonder camera will come at a high price: $799!

The new Samsung NX1 will somehow remind us of this old Mamiya 6.

An anonymous source (Thank You!) sent us the following info about the new High End APS-C NX1 camera that will be announced in September at Photokina. This is what we can expect:

Body looks like mamiya 6 (big rangefinder with grip).
New EVF with highest res on market and new technology.
Sensor with 28MP. No isocell, but improved dr. Best performance on the market at high iso.
New user interface based on newer tizen. Big touch screen but plenty of physical controls.
Continuous af up to 10fps with focus tracking enabled, second gen OSPDAF with more af points than a6000.
Presentation around sep 2014, availability nov 2014.
Splash + dust proof.
Price 1300$ body only.
Kit with 1650 zoom 2300$.

In summary: Best sensor, best EVF, best AF. Sounds like a possible game changer!
