If you are wondering why the new APS-C Leica T mirrorless system will costs that much ($3000) than one of the reasons has just be found out by Fotoskoda. They publsihed these pictures of the Leica T plain aluminum chassis.
That’s how Leica wants to sell these $3000 cameras!

Digicameinfo got that picture and these specs about the soon to be announced Nikon 1 J4:
– 18MP sensor
– ISO160-6400 (12800 extended)
– 3-inch LCD 1.04 million dots monitor
– Video 1920×1080 60fps. Sound stereo
– The battery is EN-EL22
– The size is 99.5 x 60.0 x 28.2
Let’s talk about the best lenses you can use on your mirrorless cameras. On the video on top (minute 18:25) Zeiss confirms they will release a new 85mm f/1.4 Otus as next. But there is also another good news. If you want a Otus quality for a fourth of the price watch these tests at SLRgear:

The Zeiss beats the Sigma ART only by a very small margin! Cannot wait Sigma to make more fast ART lenses with proper design for mirrorless cameras!
Leicarumors posted the first real world Leica T picture! And those should be the camera specs:
– APS-C sensor (likely 16 MP)
– Without rangefinder and without built-in EVF (uses optional EVF)
– interchangeable mount for T lenses.
– touchsreen, Wifi
– $3000 for camera + kit lens
Sounds expensive!
Huge surprise on the Sony front. They will announce a new A7s Full Frame E-mount camera that can record 4K video to compete against the Panasonic GH4.
The announcement will take place in Las Vegas at 7pm on Sunday. Other specs are yet not known!
One more thing: it’s a safe bet to say they will unveil new FE lenses too!
We got words from trusted sources that Sony has some kind of unique surprise for all of us. It should be announced within the next couple of weeks. It is something that no camera manufacturer has done before…
What it is we don’t know. But that Sony does that kind of things is not impossible. They did the RX series, the A7 series and I can certainly expect something like a medium format camera from them too :)
Fujirumors reports that Fuji is working on a Full Frame X-PRO 2 which will be released in 2015. Unfortunately no current X-mount lens will work on the new mount. There will be a minimum of three lenses at launch.
This would be the first competition for the newly launched Sony A7 system. A great news!
