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!
Digicameinfo spotted a link to the korean agency who just registered the new “Leica X” camera! There is no info about specs but at least now we know the name of the camera!
Note: The Korean Agency registers all devices with Wifi. They need to be approved by the Korean Authority to be sold in Korean Stores.
LavidaLeica got an invitation for the Leica event in Berlin. A bit strange they also claim to know the specs. If the specs are correct leica may not invite them in future again :)
Anyway they say that:
Camera has a 16MP APS-C sensor
Will cost $3k USD for body only
And $4k+ USD with lens…
Sounds too epxensive for what you get. But again, it’s a Leica :)
Sony could once again lead the digital mirrorless camera industry in a new territory. SonyAlphaRumors reports that there is a 50% chance Sony will announce a sort of digital Mamiya 7 but likely with fixed lens within the next 5-6 months!
The sensor should be the one already in use by the new Hasselblad and Phase One cameras (50 MP Cmos). There is not other detail yet but it sounds quite amazing!

The site Leica Camera Forum (Click here) posted the invitation they got from Leica. The original Leica text is in German but they kindly provided us with an english translation:
Nothing compares to and is more inspiring than the first touch.
We invite you to experience the haptic fascination of German engineering. Join us and celebrate with us the latest Leica innovation!
Sounds like something big has to come!
