Raf007 at Dpreview forum got some interesting info about the current and future Samsung strategy. He writes:
“Ive found some interesting info from Samsung’s last week conference in Beijing. At first some more or less known facts:
NX30 AF speed up to 30% faster than NX300, better focusing in low lights, shorter shutter lag
16-50mm has four stops stabilisation
faster focusing than 45mm 1.8
ED-SEF580A is based on Metz 58 AF-2
Now come some more interesting facts/rumours from the conference
Samsung is going to release entry level NX3000
New flagship model is going to be released probably next year
50-150mm 2.8 water and dust resistant is going to be released probably next year too
300mm 2.8 is it the works. Apparently Samsung had a prototype of the lens already in 2011″
Fuji itself doesn’t make any mistery anymore and listed the Fuji X-T1 under their support page.
Fuji Photographer Ray Ohara first posted (and then removed) this picture of himself with a Fuji camera. And as you can see this Fuji camera clearly has an EVF bump in the middle.
Now, we already had one photographer last week showing a fake Fuji camera. this may be part of a Fuji campagn to create some buzz around the new camera???
And finally we will see the real (and no fake) Fuji weather sealed and Olympus OMD alike camera with X-mount! It will be officially unveiled on January 28!
Here is the specs list (via Fujirumors):
announcement January 28th (trusted source)
bigger (extra-large) and better (high performance) EVF / (trusted + anonymous sources)
APS-C X-Trans sensor II (16MP) / (trusted + anonymous sources)
double SD-card slot / (trusted sources)
weather sealed body / (trusted sources)
price range between X-E and X-PRO line / (new and anonymous sources)
FujicaST-like design / (source who was right in the past, but not yet upgraded to the elite-team of trusted sources)
faster AF than the X-E2 / (new source)
additional battery grip / (anonymous source)
name: X-T1 / (anonymous sources)
Sounds great! I am pretty sure real images will be leaked soon!
