These are today’s CES press conferences: Samsung, Sony and Panasonic coming with 4k camcorders and actioncams.

Panasonic, Samsung and Sony will have press conferences today at CES. But there should be no new mirrorless system photocamera yet. As far as we know Sony will announce three 4K camcorders (FDR-X1000V, FDR-AXP35 and FDR-AX30) and a new 4K action camera. Also Panasonic and Samsung will announce 4K stuff.

The Big photographic event is CP+ in mid February. And that’s when we will get plenty of new stuff!

Sigma interview: Says aims to achieve large format quality and talks about a Full Frame Foveon.

DC.watch interviewed Sigma president Yamaki Kazuto. And those are some of the most interesting news:

– He believes time will come when Mirrorless will outsell DSLR. But DSLR will always exist as a niche product.
– We aim to achieve medium and large format quality with our foveon sensor tech
– We receive many request to make a Full Frame Foveon. And we are aware the tendency now is to make larger sensors and with even more Megapixels.
– Sigma has no plan to make an interchangeable mirrorless system camera yet.
– There is no plan yet to make a DP camera with zoom lens
