Fuji photographer David Hobby erroneously leaks some Fuji X100T image samples.

A pretty much save rumor is that Fuji will announce the new X100T. Well officially Fuji photographer David Hobby erroneously published some image samples taken with the yet unannounced camera on Flickr (page has now been removed).

But on Reddit you can still find the Exif image proving those images where from the X100T. The camera specs according to Fujirumors are:

24MP X-Trans sensor
faster AF than X100S
tilt screen
new fixed lens
new EVF, better than X100S, but not as much as X-T1
wider phase detection area

The camera will be announced in 4-6 weeks!

New rumors: Next Sony FF E-mount camera and 4K firmware update for the E-M1?

If you think Sony is done with releasing new Full Frame E-mount camera you might be wrong! The Indonesian agency Postel registered the name of a new Sony interchangeable camera having the code “WW024382“. That sort of code was used in the past for the Sony A7 cameras. Sony could release that new model in August. No specs are known yet.

And Olympus is said to release a new firmware update for the E-M1 that adds 4K video recording. Is it really that easy? We will see it soon…

 

Camera market will shrink by 10% yearly by 2017 (says ICinsights).

Icinsights posted a forecast about the camera market till 2017. And the market is expected to shrink:

Worldwide DSC shipments are expected to fall by a CAGR of -10% between 2012 and 2017 compared to an annual average growth rate of just 1% in the 2007-2012 period and nearly 31% per year in the 2002-2007 timeframe.

But there are two positive news: The System Camera Market is expected to growth further. And that’s also the most profitable business for the camera producers. And the “non-conventional” camera market for Tablet-smartphones-medical-car-surveillance is expected to grow too!
