Zeiss finally unveiled the specs of the new 12mm f/2.8 and 32mm f/1.8 Sony NEX and Fuji X mount lenses. They also gave the new range lens a name of a bird…”Touit“. Not really sexy :)
Both lenses should ship in June while a third lens (the 50mm f/2.8 macro) will come in late 2013. You can read all about the new lenses at lenses.zeiss.com.
Here are the lens characteristics:
Sony and Olympus flagship mirrorless cameras recently got a price drop in US stores. You save up to $100 on the OMD at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. And after a new $50 price drop the NEX-7 has the lowest price ever at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto (Click on the store name to check the deals).
And this may not be casual. According to multiple trusted sources both cameras will get replaced in late summer! We still have no specs but I am sure first features and leaks will pop out soon.

It doesn’t happen often that I get Pentax rumors. But this one is very exciting and at the same time…anonymous. That’s why you should take it with a grain of salt. But I hope this rumor can be read by other (known) sources so that they can confirm or deny it. Here it is:
The new source told us that “Pentax’s new fullframe “might” be a mirrorless, using a newly developed hybrid mount that accepts current K-mount lenses and adds the ability to use newer short flange lenses as well.“
Editor’s note: The Pentax FF camera almost became a “myth” in these years. So many time we heard that it would come and…it never came :)

Canon didn’t capture our hearts withe their Canon EOS-M mirrorless camera. And the rumored Canon EOS-M with built.in viewfinder was juts…a rumor :) But Canonrumors reports new rumors (true???) that “Canon plans to “relaunch” the system in the coming months with 2 new cameras“.
The first camera will replace the actual EOS-M model and the second camera will be a completely new high end model. The autofocus will be dramatically improved and at least three lenses will be announced within the year.
Let’s see if Canon will really become “serious” with their next Mirrorless models! Canon can’t afford to miss the train now!
Your really can0t have one day without rumors in these period! Yesterday we had the G6 announcement and today we have the next new MFT camera leak. The Olympus E-P5 image discloses a new more classic look and it comes with the 17mm f/1.8 as kit lens. The camera is going to be announced on May 9. This may be the last MFT camera before the summer Pause. We already heard the new OMD and Panasonic cameras will be announce din August/September…
P:S.: Sony is a a lot slower compare to the Panasonic/Olympus duo. It is very likely that the NEX-7 successor may be the only new NEX camera to come for the next 8-10 months.
A couple of days ago a store manager told me how the Ricoh GXR was a nice concept but at the same time “selling poorly”. And today a huge store like BHphoto marked the GX3 as discontinued (Click here to see it). Let’s hope this may be a sign that a new successor is on the horizon. The worse case scenario would be that Ricoh…no wait I won’t even write that. Go Ricoh, show us the new model!
