Leica registered a new Leica M (Typ 262) camera in Korea and Russia. The camera will be announced very soon! Don’t know what it is but I know it won’t be cheap ;)

43rumors spotted that new image of the Panasonic-Leica 100-400mm MFT lens. The lens will be released in February-March and cost $2,500.

One more small rumor: the X-PRO 2 has no tilt screen according to Fujirumors.

Magnum Photographer Hiroji Kubota posted some images shot with the new and yet unreleased X-PRO2 to do so. You can see the images here: Image One and Image Two. As you can see from the EXIF data the first three pictures are all shot with the yet non announced Fuji camera.

Personal note: I will take the chance to report my deepest condolences to all people who lived that terrible situation. We have to work hard to build a world of peace under the sole rule: Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

The video on top shows a mirrorless Sony A-mount (yes A-mount and not E-mount) concept created by Chuljae Lee. Not sure it makes sense but it looks cool! :)

It will be a busy 2016 for Fuji according to rumor finder Fujirumors.com. During the first half of the year Fuji will announce two hot new X cameras:

Fuji X-PRO 2 on January 15: With new 24MP X-trans sensor.
Fuji X-T2 in June: It will be the first Fuji camera with 4K video and 10fps.

If all those goodies are going to be announced long before the big photokina…than what has Fuji to show at Photokina? Well Fujirumors says there may be a medium format surprise coming sooner or later?

There are a couple of new “Minor” rumors floating on the web:

First of all I got word the new A6xxx camera will ship in very early 2016. But I still don’t know the day of the announcement. At the same time SAR reports there is also a “mysterious” High End Camera coming. Not sure he is talking about A or E-mount here.
43rumors got few info about the Panasonic-Leica 100-400mm lens. It will be announced in February and cost $2,500. And Fujirumors reports the X-E2 firmware will be released in mid January.

In the meantime we still don’t have any official Samsung statement about the recent camera business closure rumor. I really hope they will tell us something about that soon!
