Amazon (Click here) just issued that warning on the Fuji X100s camera page. And according to unconfirmed rumors it seems that there is a very curious cause. The X100s shipment from Japan has been water damaged! If this is true than you will have to wait a long time before you can get your preorder.
The only store that has a limited amount of X100s in Stock is . And they charge you $230 extra for it :(
The Pentax Q7 has been announced and you can preorder it at Adorama or BHphoto. And on Pentax website you can play with the color simulation tool. That’s likely coolest thing of that announcement :)
And here it is the new Leica X Vario. And no, Leica marketing wasn’t playing with us rumor sites. We were correct right from the first time when we leaked the image and specs. It has the a fixed Vario Elmar 18-46mm 1:3.5-6.4 ASPH lens and a 16.1MP CMOS APS-C sensor. There is no built-in viewfinder, you rely on the 920k dot 3″ LCD to frame the images. A wonder why Leica teased the cameras as “Mini M” if there is no Messucher. You can of course use an external EVF. Price is 2450 Euro or 2250 Pounds or 2850 Dollars (preorders here at BHphoto). Here are some more images via Leica Forum:
For my personal joy of revenge I will re read all the massive amount of comments accusing me of posting wrong images and specs…what a satisfaction :)
Samsung just announced that super small, very small…ultra small 10mm f/3.5 fisheye lens. Here are the specs:
The lens will ship the second half of the year for 499 Euro. Some image samples can be seen at Samsungcamera.com.
Leica posted that new teaser of the Leica X Vario Type 107 camera. Specs are known and the teaser only confirms the leaked image we posted days ago. More important is that Jonathan Slack (Click here) posted the first image samples taken with the new camera. As beautiful as the images can’t be, the 16 megapixel APS-C sensor (and the slow lens) doesn’t justify the 2450 Euro price tag. At least for me. You may have another opinion. I would rather spend 799 dollars on the discounted Fuji X cameras at at Amazon (Click here to see the dedicated Amazon page).
Fuji is doing what Leica should have done….
These are the specs:
Price tag in Europe: Eur 339/£379.99, the lens will be available by the end of July.
A preview can be seen at Dpreview.
