Is that the first image of the new Samsung NX1100?

Samsung NX1100
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).

New Canon EOS-M with integrated viewfinder and 24 MP?

The first rumor of the new week is about Canon. Those may be the specs of an upcoming new EOS-M model:

  • 24mp APS-C Sensor
  • New generation AF system
  • DIGIC V
  • Removable Electronic Viewfinder (Very high resolution)
  • Optional grip attachment
  • 5fps
  • Slightly larger than the current EOS M
  • Introduced with 3 more lenses
  • $999 USD

I think it’s more a wishlist than a real camera :) But if true than Canon really aims to play in the same league of the Sony NEX-6 and NEX-7 and the Fuji X-E1.

Patent: Nikon 18mm f/2.8 DX lens for mirrorless.

A fake Nikon camera rendering made by Mike Kobal.

Nikonrumors posted the link to the Patent Number 20110080659 filed by Nikon on September 30th. It describes the characteristics of the 18mm f/2.8 DX lens (28mm equivalent) that could be used by the upcoming APS-C compact and fixed lens X100s competitor.

And people is having fun designing the possible Nikon camera. The image on top is from Mike Kobal! :)

The other image was that one (but with an erroneous interchangeable mount)

Japanese Magazine camera roadmap speculation for all companies.

The popular Japanese Magazine “Nippon Camera” published their product roadmap for 2013. It’s based on their own sources and speculations. This is their mirrorless camera list:

Canon: New EOS-Me in July
Nikon: New Nikon 2 in August
Sony: NEX-3n and NEX-7r in March-April. NEX-9 in August
Olympus: E-P5 in April. E-M7 in August.
Panasonic: GF7 in March, G7 in August, GX2 and GH5 by end of the year.
Ricoh: GR Digital V
Fuji: X-M1 in April,X-PRO 2 in July and X-E2 in August.

Nice roadmap but I think only half of the things are correct. NEX-9 is coming in 2014, NEX-7r is named NEX-7n according to my sources. GH5 sounds a bit weird and X-M2 is also unlikely to come :)
