BCNranking (google translation here) posted the full 2013 market share analysis. In the mirrorless category Olympus is leading the group closely followed by Sony. The big change is the 9% share drop fro Panasonic. Quite a bad news!
It will be interesting to see if the Sony A7-A7r series will have a major impact on 2014 sales. My guess is that Sony could become number one in Japan!
There is this ongoing discussion about the mirrorless and DSLR future, based on IDC, CIPA and other numbers, as well as some personal anecdotal evidence. A few posts on SAR featured some rather heated debates in the comments (which is good, I think). Hence, I decided to stir the pot even more and write my personal opinion in more detail, in the hope to have an even deeper discussion about this.
This was already one of the cheapest APS-C fixed lens compact cameras. And now it got a huge $180 off at Amazon US (Click here to grab it).
A small good news after learning that Ricoh discontinued the GXR :(
Fujirumors got some bits about the new Fuji X-T1. The camera will be announced in late January and it is said to have the best Electronic Viewfinder on market yet. And “anyone thinking of getting an OM-D should hold off until the end of the month. So worth the wait.”
Sounds like a hell of a camera. Hope they fix the slow autofocusing too!
Bad news on the Ricoh GXR front. The camera production has been stopped and in UK the camera is no more for sale at all.
Ricoh managers didn’t unveil the reason why the GXR has been phased out (Source: Amateur Photographer). And it really doesn’t look like the reason for this is a new upcoming model. It may be that Ricoh gives up the whole idea of doing such a modular camera :(
About time! The new NEX-7 successor will be announced before the CP+ show in February. There are no specs or price info yet. The few rumors circulating on the web do suggest that the Megapixel number will not change (24Mp) and there may be a second “R” version without Anti Aliasing filter.
That’s all for now, but I am pretty sure more info will leak out soon!
Hi everyone! If you are also excited by the new NX30 I have a good news for you. I made a collection of fresh videos of NX30 and a video sample. So that is a good new especially for video enthusiasts. Here is the NX30 videos collection and here (on top of this post) is the most important video.
