Fujirumors reports: “The Japanese source told me that the weather sealed X coming in January will have double SD card slots. The design? A new source said that the camera body will be “something like OMD (E-M1 – E-M5) shape“.
So after Sony also Fuji will follow the OMD design path :)
…
Resumee: Sony, Samsung, Olympus, Panasonic and Fuji. All of them will announce new mirrorless cameras for the February CP+ event!
The NXF1 model number

Samsung likes to hint their future camera strategy by listing not yet announced cameras on their support page. Today there is a new NX camera called “NXF1“. And that added “F” gives us big hope that this will be the first Samsung Full Frame mirrorless camera. If that’s true it will have to be damn good to compete against the just announced Sony A7 and A7r cameras!
To nor repeat their failure with the APS-C NX series Samsung has to reinvent the wheel with the new FF system. I hope they come up with some features that really MAKE a difference. On my wish list:
– Foveon Full Frame sensor
– Hybrid viewfinder like the Fuji X-PRO 1
– Price $1000
I know I am dreaming here. But if they only do one of the mentioned points than yes they will have my attention :)

Apparently Canon delayed the launch of the new EOS-M2 camera til early 2014. The reason why they did so is unknown. The EOS-M2 is rumored to be not that different from the predecessor and should feature the same 70D sensor.

CanonWatch spotted that Korean Canon teaser for a new camera announcement. But as you can see from the covered camera shape this hardly will be a new EOS-M camera. Looks more like a successor of the very small Canon SL1. This means we can give up our hopes to see the new EOS-M2 :(
There is still one more little announcement left for this year! Fuji will release the XF 10-24mm zoom on November 20. The next lens announcement will follow soon after: The XF 56mm is coming on January 6. Great Fuji! But where is our X-PRO2 with new sensor? :)
The last announcement of the year will be that Nikon DF DSLR camera (yep, it’s not a mirrorless!). The next bunch of mirrorless cameras will be announced in late January, early February 2014. And according to some trusted sources there will be certainly a new Olympus MFT camera (not a PEN!) and a couple of Sony cameras. This should include the long overdue NEX-7 successor.
P.S.: I still don’t know if that Nikon looks good, bad, weird or what :)
It took four years to get a first non Leica and affordable Full Frame camera. And now that we have the A7 and A7r Sony will not stop at all! Egami found that Sony patent describing an ultra compact Sony NEX-5 Full Frame camera! And according to one of our sources Sony will indeed launch more bodies 2014 including some that will be cheaper and smaller than the A7. It almost sounds like Full Frame and not APS-C will become the mainstream mirrorless system sensor. If Sony can keep the price down than this makes sense to create a clear advantage over the competition. The one big issue is that FF lenses will be big. On the other side you can use smaller APS-C lenses in crop mode if you care about size. Sounds intriguing!
