Thanks Paul for finding this!
Olympus:
As we told you before it’s going to be very busy time in April. Also Olympus scheduled a new announcement date for end of April. There will be a new E-P5 and maybe their very first fast f/2.8 MFT zoom.
Sony:
More details are known about the new NEX-7n camera:
– New 24 Megapixel APS-C sensor with 1/2 stop improvement and increased dynamic range
– 3, 8 Million dot EVF
– touchscreen
– Hybrid Contrast and Phase Detection AF
– Tri Navi design reviewed
– Focus Peaking will be much improved with choice of colors
– Wifi, but no GPS on board.
– Same size and form factor of the current NEX-7 but with a minor redesign
Hasselblad:
Hasselblad will also launch their “Lunar” camera based on the same NEX-7 hardware. The Lunar will have a luxurious look and a luxurious price (over 5000 Euro!!!).
Samsung Germany published the full manual of the still not announced Samsung NX1100. The specs in short:
– 20,3 Megapixels
– ISO 100 up to 12,800
– up to 30fps (8 fps full size pictures and 30fps at 6 Megapixel)
– Video: H.264, Ton: AAC
– 3 inch LCD with 921,000 dots
The camera should be announced soon and there may be a more mysterious and high end NX-R camera too!
UPDATE: There is now an English manual here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201303/20130306143127828/NX1100_English.pdf
Here are the full NX100 specs from the German manual (Click on the images to enlarge):
ePhotozine (Click here) spotted the details of the new Fuji X lens roadmap at the Focus On Imaging show in Birmingham (UK). The first lens to be released is the new XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8R LM OIS lens. it will be released in may and full specs can be seen on the image below.
Four more lenses will come this year: The 23mm f/1.4R, the 56mm f/1.4R, the 27mm f/2.8, and the 10-24mm f/4R OIS lens.
Sounds like the Sony NEX and Fuji X camera owners can soon be very happy! Zeiss is likely to going to announce the three new prime lenses for the E and X-mount system. As you know all three lenses will have full electronic aperture and focusing support. And all lenses will be priced a little bit above $1,000 (or 1000 Euro).
The lenses will be the 12mm f/2.8, 32mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/2.8. Announced in April and likely available in store this Summer. As a reminder, Zeiss said that there will be no Micro Four Thirds mount version. Also the lenses will not cover the Full Frame sensor area. This may be an interesting news for Sony users because Sony will launch the Sony NEX-FF in 2014.
After Photokina we had a long quite time with no major mirrorless camera release. This is about to change and at least five companies (but I think there will be more) have scheduled some sort of product announcements within the next 6 weeks:
Sony: Sony will launch the new NEX-7n in early April. it will have a High Resolution 3.8 million dot EVF and new 24 Megapixel sensor. There will be new E-mount lenses too.
Panasonic: Two new MFT cameras could be announced, likely the GF7 and G7.
Olympus: Still not sure yet but latest rumors say that the new E-P5 may be announced in April with availability in June-July
Samsung: NX-R could be announced in March. It still has to be seen if that High End mirrorless will feature a FF sensor or not
Canon: New EOS-M camera with integrated viewfinder and 24MP sensor.
But according to veyr latest info also Zeiss, Fuji and Pentax-Ricoh will announce some new stuff in April!
Hot time coming! Be prepared!
One of our sources (Thanks) just sent us that image that could be the new Samsung NX1100. Samsung is also rumored to have a big announcement soon with a new NX-R and NX30 coming too. It could be a very big time for Samsung and maybe also the right time for a Full Frame mirrorless?
One more news for German readers: the NX300 will be delivered – at least in Germany – with Adobe Lightroom (Source: Colorfoto).
