We already know the new E-Pl7 PEN camera is coming soon. Today Olympus Japan invited Japanese journalists for a new PEN product launch event on August 30. New MFT PRO lenses like the 7-14mm, 300mm and 9mm lenses are supposed to be shown at the event too!
Digicameinfo spotted an image that shows the new Pentax Q-S1 in all his beauty…or ugliness depending on your taste :)
The camera will use the “usual” 1/1.7 inch sensor and be available in 36 different color combinations!
These are the first images of the new Pentax Q2 leaked by Digicameinfo. There are no specs yet but I am sure the camera will be announced within the next few days already!
This is really a wild rumor but I got it via some trusted source. He says that he “heard” about a new Nikon camera system that could be launched at Photokina. And the first camera will feature the current Sony 50MP medium format sensor used by all newest generation Hasselblad, Phase one and Pentax MF cameras!
Latest rumors coming via Fujirumors suggest the new X30 will keep the same sensor size as the current X20. Fuji is not going to increase the sensor size like Sony and Panasonic did. But the likely most disappointing news is that the X30 will get rid of the Optical Viewfinder and get a “simple” electronic viewfinder instead.
All that doesn’t really sound exciting to me. The Optical Viewfinder was a big feature that made stand out the X20. Don’t think the Fuji X30 can become a real challenger of the Sony RX series and the future 1 inch Panasonic LX8.
Samyang will announce a newly designed APS-C lens for “some” mirrorless system. I heard it’s certainly coming for Micro Four Thirds. But I guess Samyang will launch E and X mount versions too.
I have been told the lens has a high optical quality but still the famous Samyang low pricing :)
Sounds great!!!
A pretty much save rumor is that Fuji will announce the new X100T. Well officially Fuji photographer David Hobby erroneously published some image samples taken with the yet unannounced camera on Flickr (page has now been removed).
But on Reddit you can still find the Exif image proving those images where from the X100T. The camera specs according to Fujirumors are:
24MP X-Trans sensor
faster AF than X100S
tilt screen
new fixed lens
new EVF, better than X100S, but not as much as X-T1
wider phase detection area
The camera will be announced in 4-6 weeks!
