Back in January Samsung unveiled that a new NX1 flagship camera would come this year (article here). And now Photorumors reports that this camera will shoot 4K video and feature a new 28 Megapixel APS-C sensor.

After the GH4 and Sony A7s this would become the third mirrorless camera shooting 4K. But I think more companies (Canon, Olympus for example) will announce 4K cameras at Photokina.

I am a bit surprised to hear the camera will feature a 28 MP sensor. It would become the highest resolution APS-C camera to date. And unlike the GH4 and A7s such a sensor could show more moiree and issues on 4K videos. Or did Samsung find a way to solve that problem?

How would a product announcement be without any marketing work? Well, that’s exactly what happened today at Leica. They shared this pic of a new Leica Summilux 28mm f/1.4 lens during a “normal” visit of the LeicaCameraForum members in Wetzlar (Leica’s headquarter in Germany).

No specs, no price and no shipping date info have been released other than that picture. It’s will certainly be a great (and exepensive) masterpiece!

A couple of days ago we told you the Fuji X20 has been discontinued. According to rumors floating around mysteriously (LOL) on the web the new Fuji X30 will be announced on July 3. And it’s the first camera that will match the Sony RX100 series 1 inch sensor size. It’s going to be an X-Trans sensor and also priced cheaper than the new Sony RX100M3 ($798 here at Amazon). Well that sounds good! It may forces Sony to lower their prices too!

I bet you didn’t see coming this: Fuji partnering with Sony to create a digital medium format mirrorless and fixed lens camera!

The Fuji branded and Sony sensor powered camera will be launched this Summer (likely in August). It could look close to the current to the Fuji GF670 film camera. It could also uses Fuji X-PRO 1 hybrid viewfinder tech. Quite a big news! Wondering if there is a market for such a camera…

Fuji officially discontinued the X20 (see at BHphoto). And if you remember there were rumors months ago saying that Fuji would launch a 1 inch sensor X30 this summer. It would be the first real competitor of the unmatched Sony RX100 series.

The new RX100M3 will be announced within the next hours (exactly at 5am of May 16). And here are the worldwide first full size images of the new camera!

It has a unique pop-up viewfinder with 1,4 m dots. A new Zeiss 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens. Playmemories APP support, “Selfie-capable” LCD screen, XAVC-S video recording and built-in ND filter. All that stuff is packed in a body that is just 2,5mm thicker than the previous RX100M2.

Really a unique camera!

This time it’s Sony Store Canada leaking Sony info ahead of the announcement. They currently display the full RX100M3 specs. Unlike previous rumors the camera will not be announced today. There is a short delay and it will be announced tomorrow (May 16) at 5 am London time!
