Is that the first image of the new Samsung NX1100?

Samsung NX1100
One of our sources (Thanks) just sent us that image that could be the new Samsung NX1100. Samsung is also rumored to have a big announcement soon with a new NX-R and NX30 coming too. It could be a very big time for Samsung and maybe also the right time for a Full Frame mirrorless?

 

One more news for German readers: the NX300 will be delivered – at least in Germany – with Adobe Lightroom (Source: Colorfoto).

A good day for Fuji: Adobe RAW now supports the X-trans pattern.

Bildschirmfoto 2013-02-26 um 12.05.06-The official Adobe Fuji X sensor support message-

And now it’s here! Adobe supports the complex Fuji X sensor design and gives you 100% support on their RAW files. Download LR 4.4 here. or Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw RC 7.4 here. And to see what changed for Fuji watch out the nice article by Rico Pfirstinger on Fujirumors. There is also the first dpreview test: “In the ACR 7.3 rendering, the foliage takes on a distinct ‘watercolor’ appearance, and the white text of the sign is ‘filled-in’ green. As you can see, the new processing approach in ACR 7.4 RC offers substantial improvements in both areas.” (thx MJr)

New Canon EOS-M with integrated viewfinder and 24 MP?

The first rumor of the new week is about Canon. Those may be the specs of an upcoming new EOS-M model:

  • 24mp APS-C Sensor
  • New generation AF system
  • DIGIC V
  • Removable Electronic Viewfinder (Very high resolution)
  • Optional grip attachment
  • 5fps
  • Slightly larger than the current EOS M
  • Introduced with 3 more lenses
  • $999 USD

I think it’s more a wishlist than a real camera :) But if true than Canon really aims to play in the same league of the Sony NEX-6 and NEX-7 and the Fuji X-E1.

Patent: Nikon 18mm f/2.8 DX lens for mirrorless.

A fake Nikon camera rendering made by Mike Kobal.

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)
