CanonWatch spotted that video showing a yet not announced Speed Booster adapter for the Canon EOS-M system! On Metabones website you can find NEX and X mount adapters only.
And by the way, Metabones isn’t the only manufacturer offering a “Speed Booster” solution. The Chinese company Mitakon now sold their first “Lens Turbo” adapters on .
Eagmi spotted a new Japanese Tamron patent describing a 35mm f/1.4 lens made for mirrorless systems. I really hope that lens will soon become a real product! It is yet unknown for which system they could release it. For now Tamron only made one lens, the 18-200mm for Sony NEX (here at Amazon).
The Sony RX100 showed us hot to make a “real compact” camera with larger sensor. And it sounds like Canon is going to make a competitor with the same size btu with even larger APS-C sensor! CanonWatch reports that “Canon may be working on a compact camera with a large sensor. Not a successor of the PowerShot G1 X (price & specs), but a camera like the PowerShot S110 (price & specs), just a bit a larger. The camera should have a fast lens and the new APS-C 18MP sensor featured on the Rebel Sl1/EOS 100D (price & specs), and the DIGIC 6 Image Processing Unit. No viewfinder. Pricing should be less than the PowerShot G1 X when it was released. We expect Canon to announce this camera at the end of Summer 2013.“
APS-C compact of the same size of the RX100? I have to see it to believe it!
Still no rumor from the Canon EOS-M mirrorless system. But Canon is lowering the price of the camera and you can now grab it with lens(!) for $399 only at .

Patrick at FujiRumors got feedback from trusted sources and they confirmed a new X entry level system camera is coming soon from Fuji. These are the key info:
– It will be announced in Summer
– It will be smaller than the current [shoplink 100016]Fuji X-E1[/shoplink]– It hess less controls and dials than the X-E1
– There is no built.in viewfinder
There is also an anonymosu (also not trusted source) that said that the Body + Lens price is around $550 and launch in July. For that price you get a lens and the X-trans sensor? If ture it would be easily a hotseller. But to be honest the “rumored” price sounds too low to be true.
Someone sent me this (fake) K-02 image. It has a viewfinder placed in the corner. That would certainly be a nice addition on the K-0 series. As you know the K-01 has been marked as discontinued but it has to be seen if a K-02 will ever be made or not.

Mobile01 posted this real Olympus E-P5 pictures! The camera clearly takes inspiration from the but unlike the PEN-F it comes without built-in EVF. The camera will be announced around May 10. It will come along three Black prime verisons (17mm, 45mm and 75mm) and the new external 1,3 Million dot VF-4 viewfinder.
Sony and Olympus flagship mirrorless cameras recently got a price drop in US stores. You save up to $100 on the OMD at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. And after a new $50 price drop the NEX-7 has the lowest price ever at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto (Click on the store name to check the deals).
And this may not be casual. According to multiple trusted sources both cameras will get replaced in late summer! We still have no specs but I am sure first features and leaks will pop out soon.
