Panasonic GX7 may look like this…

The dutch website Digifotopro found the pics of a possible new Panasonic GX camera design. These are grabbed from a patent. The new GX7 camera is likely coming in one month and will be the first “rangefinder” styled Panasonic camera. The cameras has as unique feature a tilting EVF. It’s great looking camera but I hope Panasonic will not ask you too much $$$ for it :(

 

 

Canon M and Ricoh GXR replacements likely coming soon…

–

Canon:
The current Canon EOS-M is the most sold mirrorless camera at Amazon US (Click here to see the ranking). The reason is that it sells for $299 only. But now Amazon has no more cameras left in Stock and also Adorama removed the camera from their database. I have no doubt that a new EOS-M will be announced within 1-2 months.

Ricoh:
The Ricoh GXR is no longer available at BHphoto (Click here). Also in that case a major new release is expected within 1-2 months.

Reminder: Most new mirrorless cameras will be announce din late August right before the IFA event in Berlin. So while we are in Summertime there is really no reason for vacation on rumor sites. The news storm will hit us all very soon!

DxOmark posts five Samsung NX lens measures!

Samsung NX system may not be so popular yet but hey have some great prime lenses in their range! So le’ts take a look at the latest DxOmark test (Click here) where they measured five NX primes. And DxOmark writes:

In fact, as our comparison graph (above) shows the NX mount primes compare very favourably with the equivalent NEX mount lenses from Sony. But it’s not only the NEX mount lenses that the Samsung models compete with. They’ve shown with the 85mm f/1.4 and some excellent sensors what they’re capable of, but perhaps what’s needed now is a high-end enthusiasts model to contend with the likes of the OMD-EM5, GH-3 and NEX-7.

I couldn’t agree mroe with DxO! Come one Samsung, gives us some real nice Photo camera!
