I have a 100% surprising and 99% reliable rumor coming soon. I am working on it right now and I will post it tomorrow at 12:00 London time.  Samsung readers should stay tuned. And so Nikon and Sony readers as this will probably be the most important news of the year (if not of the last couple of years).

I have to say I am honestly very surprised about the news I got from the highest Samsung level. Please subscribe our RSS feed, Facebook page and Twitter stream to not miss that specific and any other future rumor!

Stay tuned on MirrorlessRumors. You will be surprised!

UPDATE: Unlike reported by other sites there is no “Samsung(!) NX2” coming at CES.

P.S.: Samsung camera business is dead. No doubt on it. But from the ashes something unexpected and very different rises…

And in the meantime have some fun with this one:

After reading my post yesterday an unserious so called “rumor” site added that there will be a new NX2. That site obviously (as usual) made up the rumor to gain some traffic. So please mark my words. Samsung big CES announcement will not be for a new NX2. Samsung will STOP their digital camera business. The surprise is related to something completely different!

THere is little doubt now that Samsungs camera business is fading out. And a couple of long time Samsung sources told me the Korean company will make a major statement at the CES event in early January. I have also been told to expect one major surprise!

Stay tuned on Mirrorlessrumors!

After many rumors it seems like we got a first evidence about a new and first f/2.8 FE zoom from Sony. SAR reports the 24-70mm f/2.8 FE G lens got registered at Sony Assist system. Not sure though if it means the lens will be announced before the end of the year. And it’s quite strange to see that Sony’s G lens will be faster (and better?) then the 24-70mm Zeiss version.

Image on top shows the Fuji GW690III medium format film camera.

In many occasions Fuji stated they do not plan to go Full Frame any time soon. And it seems like they really meant it seriously. But there is one major surprise to report today: Fujirumors.com said Fuji is developing an interchangeable Medium Format system! There is yet no info about possible launch date and specs. But it’s a very intriguing move from Fuji!

If the rumor turns out to be true that Fuji will place themselves a step above the Sony FE and other future Full Frame mirrorless systems from Canon and Nikon. They will therefore play in an own league with virtually zero competition. The real question is if the system will not be too expensive to generate noticeable sales and revenue. So please dear Fuji, make it “affordable” ok?

rangefinder.com.hk posted that picture of a strange new Leica camera. This could be the new X-U model which has been registered in Asia. It’s a waterproof fixed lens camera.
