It’s basically an NX300 with an improved tilting LCD screen :)
A couple of days ago Fuji invited photographers and blogger on a meeting in Tokyo. Bert Stefani was part of the fellowship and reported:
Throughout our visit, we were given the chance to give feedback on top-secret prototypes in various stages of development, from early ideas to almost production ready products. We didn’t have to sign any NDAs or contracts but I’ll leave the honor of announcing new products to the people who design them with so much passion (so dear rumor sites, there’s no reason to keep e-mailing me). But I can tell you is that the future of the X-series looks very exciting.
Let’s hope Fuji has something to offer “against” the upcoming NEX-9 Full Frame mirrorless. It would be great to have a competition as soon as it gets! (found via Fujirumors)
There are also three new US deals to report:
1) $72 off on the Silver Fuji X-M1 with 16-50mm lens at Amazon US (Click here).
2) $50 off on the new Fuji X100s on .
3) $110 off on the Fuji X100 on .
Dpreview Forum user Jon spotted the name of the new EOS-M2 mirrorless cameras on the new version of DPP downloaded from Canon’s website.
It should be announced any time soon now!!!
The Sony NEX leaking time may just started in an unusual way. Top fashion photographer Clayton Nelson claims to have taken these images with the new Sony NEX-7R prototype camera he got from Sony:

UPDATE: Pictures have now been removed by the authot. This means Sony asked him to remove the images :)
His first feedback is:
I emailed Sony some of the images I took earlier in the week, explaining how delighted I was with the camera, especially the color sensor. These cameras are far beyond playthings. I believe that they can be utilized as substantial tools in an artistic format. They are certainly not toys..
He posted the info today and let’s hope he will post more tidbits tomorrow too!
The image on tops shows you the new Fuji 56mm f/1.2 and 10-24mm f/4 lenses. It has been posted by Fuji and you can download the full new PDF here: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/pdf/lenses_accessories_catalogue_01.pdf
And here is the new Fuji roadmap that includes the two new lenses:
Nikon is trying to appeal new customers by being the first to offer a mirrorless rugged camera. The new Nikon 1 AW1 comes along two new rigged lenses, the Nikkor 1 AW 10mm f/2.8 and 1 AW 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses. The AW marked cameras and lenses are water, shock, dust and freezeproof. The camera can go 15m under water! I think this could be a real hit for Nikon. Finally a camera that can be with you on any travelling conditions!

A Nikon 1 camera patent spotted by Nikonrumors.
After Fuji and likely Canon also Nikon will soon announce a new mirrorless cameras. Nikonrumors reports that Nikon will announce a new rugged 1 camera on Thursday morning (London time). No specs are known yet but it may be based on current Nikon 1 cameras.
I am still not sure about when exactly Canon will announce the new EOS-M cameras this week. Sony, Olympus and Panasonic will announce more stuff in October.
