Sony NEX-3n announcement next week. And Also Panasonic to announce new MFT products soon?

There is almost no more doubt that Sony will announce the new NEX-3n next week. The NEX-7 successor will follow in late Spring-early Summer. But we just heard that also Panasonic may have an announcement very soon! Not sure yet if they will introduce the new GF or G or both at the same time. If you are waiting for some Olympus news than guys you may have to wait a lot! The E-P2 and the first f/2.8 constant zoom may come in June only.

Overall it looks like Sony, Panasonic, Fuji and Olympus will wait for the second half of the year to announce the more “heavy” stuff. SO let’s hope at leats that Samsung FF March release rumor wasn’t just a false hope!

 

 

Pentax Q10 gets DxOmarked and is on par with the Panasonic GF5!

 

The likely most “exotic” of all mirrorless and interchangeable lens cameras just got DxOamrked (Click here). And the sensor performance is actually surprising! The Q10 matches the quality of the 12 Megapixel Micro Four Thirds cameras! That0s a huge surprise considering the big sensor size difference. Chapeau Pentax! The once again proved that they are capable of squeezing out all the quality they can from their (Sony) sensors.

P.S.: Good for MFT that their latest generation sensors marked a huge leap forward. Otherwise this would be very embarrassing for them :)

Sony NEX-3n is the only NEX news coming now…

Short update about the new Sony NEX-3n. The February 20th announcement will bring us only the new Sony NEX-3N with same 16Megapixel sensor as the F3. There will be no NEX-7 successor yet and no other new E-mount lens. But I have been told that another announcement will follow in early April and another one in June. And by than we will have new E-mount lenses and even the new NEX-7 successor!

Regarding the Full Frame NEX: The camera is still in development and no final decision has yet been taken. One thing is sure, it is not coming within this year. So let’s hope for Samsung next month… :)
