I got this info from trusted sources. Sony worked hard on a whole bunch of new cameras. At least four new NEX cameras are expected to come between now and end of the year. Stay tuned on MirrorlessRumor. I hope to get some more info soon.
Oh, not to forget: At least one of the new cameras is a Full Frame NEX! Leica should be worried…

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!

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!
There is one funny reason why to buy a DSLR instead of a Mirrorless. Just click play on the video on top to see it!
great work guys!
Pentax Japan just announced the sky-blue K-01 variation. I know this was the big news you were waiting for :)
By the way, the Ricoh-Pentax company now will be officially “Ricoh” only. But the name Pentax will be sued to brand all future interchangeable DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. So don’t worry!
And last Pentax news: new Q7 image samples have been posted on Dpreview.
I have no doubt Canon will soon announce a new EOS-M camera having that crazy 70D Dual Pixel AF sensor. And today Canon launched an incredible $300 off(!) on all EOS-M kits at BHphoto (Click here). Now you pay $299 for the camera with pancake!
If you buy the camera install the new Canon EOS M Firmware Version 2.0.2 (Canon US). You will get a much faster AF!

Olympus
It’s less than two months to go until the big announcement time by end August. There will be plenty of new mirrorless cameras coming right before the IFA show in Berlin. One of them is certainly the new Olympus OMD camera. For now rumored specs do say that it will retain the same sensor, same EVF and same form factor as the E-M5. But like the new E-P5 it will have 1/8000 shutter and Built-in WiFi. An interesting new fearure is the 81 AF points system which suggest that the 16MP sensor may contain some extra phase detection pixels. (Source: Photorumors).
Fuji
There are three more X cameras to come. One interchangeable entry level X camera (yes cheaper than the X-M1) and two fixed lens X cameras. One of them shoudl be the X-30 with a larger than 1 inche sensor and placed to compete against the new Sony RX100MII. (Source: Fujirumors).
Reminder:
Panasonic will announce the GX7, Sony the new NEX-7 successor. Everything coming in late August!
