Fuji finally released the 10-24mm f/4.0 wide angle zoom! And as a small surprise there is also a new hand grip for your X camera :)

This is the PRESS TEXT:

Nikon Manager Mr. Nobuaki Sasakaki has been interviewed at DC.watch (google translation here). I do not speak Japanese so I rely on Google Translation tool. But it looks like the Nikon Manager keeps defending their Nikon 1 system by continually saying that sensor size doesn’t really matter a lot. And he also goes that far and says that Classic Design and Big Sensor trend of mirrorless cameras from other manufacturers are more or less just “hype”.

And you can understand clearly from many statements how Nikons focus will still be on the DSLR market.

I think Nikon is going to loose this game if they keep under estimating the mirrorless market. A real risk for a company that earns most of their money from the digital photography market!

P.S.: By the way, isn’t the Nikon DF also a classic designed camera…and therefore a hype? :)

The graph on tops (Courtesy of Personal-View) shows the percentage of cameras (produced by Japanese companies) that have been shipped to different regions in October 2013.

As you can see Mirrorless Cameras are selling as well as DSLR cameras in Asia, followed at distance by European countries (where DSLR still has a small advantage).

The only region where mirrorless acceptance is very low is North America (mainly USA).

Please note: The graph only shows the percentage of distribution of the cameras. The total number of shipped DSLR is still greater than the total number of mirrorless cameras.

Kipon (Japanese company) and IBE (German company) announced a new “Speed Booster” similar adpater. It’s the 0.7x Baveyes and comes for Sony E and Fuji X mount. They will work with Nikon F, Canon EF and Leica R mount lenses.

Here are the full details:

Guys, forget about Leica and Voigtlanders f/0.95! We now have a new company that set the record and created the fastest native mirrorless system lens of the world. Today Kipon announced the new Ibelux 40mm f/0.85 lens which comes in native Fuji X, Micro Four Thirds, Canon M or Sony E-mount!

The lens will cost you $2000 and the company promised to work on more fast lenses. Here is the full rpess release which includes image samples too:

Magic mirrors that could show the future may exist only in fairy tales, but if they existed today, a question all DSLR users and serious photographers would like to ask is:

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, what is the future of the DSLR?”

Hi all,

My username on mirrorlessrumors.com is sneye (that will have to do). I have been a keen amateur photographer in the last 25 years or so, shooting mostly people in what is nowadays referred to as ‘street photography’. Of course I have been engaged in other genres over the years, occasionally picking up a paid job. I have always been interested in camera gear, but not as much as in the more expressive aspects of photography. Photography and cameras are two, unrelated, hobbies of mine. Some of my recent work can be seen on my Flickr stream.
