Fuji owners will be happy to hear this: On Monday Adobe will release an update that will finally bring a much more advanced support for that unique Fuji X-trans RAW sensor. That is a news most Fuji users were waiting to hear for over a year now!

Nikonrumors posted the link to the Patent Number 20110080659 filed by Nikon on September 30th. It describes the characteristics of the 18mm f/2.8 DX lens (28mm equivalent) that could be used by the upcoming APS-C compact and fixed lens X100s competitor.
And people is having fun designing the possible Nikon camera. The image on top is from Mike Kobal! :)
The other image was that one (but with an erroneous interchangeable mount)
Tonight Sony announced the new Sony NEX-3n camera. You can read the press release at: Sony, ePhotozine, Dpreview, Whatdigitalcamera, Techradar, Lemondedelaphoto (french), Photographyblog, Photoscala. Some hands-on pics and previews are also available at: ePhotozine, Techradar, Photographyblog, Pocket-Lint.
While the specs aren’t impressive the size reduction is noticeable! It’s the smallest APS-C mirrorless camera on market and the build quality is on a good level with metal body and no use of cheap plastic only. Price is very low with $499 with the 16-50mm kit lens. Could be a nice camera to buy!
Here is the introduction video from Sony:
The popular Japanese Magazine “Nippon Camera” published their product roadmap for 2013. It’s based on their own sources and speculations. This is their mirrorless camera list:
Canon: New EOS-Me in July
Nikon: New Nikon 2 in August
Sony: NEX-3n and NEX-7r in March-April. NEX-9 in August
Olympus: E-P5 in April. E-M7 in August.
Panasonic: GF7 in March, G7 in August, GX2 and GH5 by end of the year.
Ricoh: GR Digital V
Fuji: X-M1 in April,X-PRO 2 in July and X-E2 in August.
Nice roadmap but I think only half of the things are correct. NEX-9 is coming in 2014, NEX-7r is named NEX-7n according to my sources. GH5 sounds a bit weird and X-M2 is also unlikely to come :)

Is Nikon going after the Fuji X100s? Nikonrumors reports that “Nikon will announce a new compact camera with 16.2 effective megapixels DX-sized CMOS sensor, fixed 28mm f/2.8 (or maybe even f/2.0) lens and EXPEED 2 image processing engine“
The Sony NEX-3n specs are out and the camera will be announced next Monday (Feb 25th). These are the specs:
There will be an even bigger NEX announcement in April with the new NEX-7 successor and new lenses!
This week Sony is going to announce the new Sony NEX-3n. And those are the “naked” pictures of the camera seen from all his sides. A part of that new Powerzoom controller there will be no big news on the camera. It has the same sensor as the NEX-F3.
Those of you waiting for some NEX-7 successor and E-mount lens news will have to wait just a tiny bit more (coming in April).
