Leica posted a new Teaser and a message on Facebook: “Only one week left: Get a hands-on experience at our Leica Authorized Dealers on June 11 when all will be revealed about the newest Leica family member, including its larger than usual sensor for its relatively small body.“

As I told you the day I posted the image, there is only one way the rumor could not be true. And that is that Leica made a marketing campaign by spreading false rumor deliberately around the world. If true this would be the first time a company does it. And in my opinion a very clever strategy! :)

According to trusted sources at Digicaminfo Canon will soon announce a new EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. This will have a 55mm filter size and be an overall very compact lens. There is still no hint about a possible new EOS-M camera. Canon seems to not feel any hurry in pushing their mirrorless M system. I think that is going to be a huge mistake. They are letting Fuji, Sony and MFT playing the main roles. The world is changing Canon….wake up!

Someone is making fun and is posting a new (fake) Leica Mini M rumor on Facebook. The creator of this hopes foe a faster “2.8-4.0” lens and a more high resolution 24MP sensor. Too bad this one is fake.

People still send me mails insisting that the Leica Mini M rumor has to be wrong. They don’t believe that:
1) Leica names a camera “Mini M” and it doesn’t have a rangefinder system (M usually stays for Messucher)
2) The Leica teaser placed the new Leica Mini M between the M series and the X series. Suggesting this would be something more advanced like for example a FF fixed lens camera or a Messsucher with ASP-C sensor.
3) The lens cannot be that slow: f/3.5-6.4

Guys, sorry to tell you, It’s a real deal :(
