Fuji announcement day on June 25!

Not only Samsung (June 20) and Sony (June 27) will announce new mirrorless cameras. Also Fuji has planed a big showdown for June 25! FR reports:

FIRMWARE: Fujifilm Philippines announced at their website that there will be a new firmware update for the X-E1 and X-PRO1 on the 25 of June. Let’s see what will be improved (or if it just adds support for the 27mm, which is rumored to be launched soon.)

NEW BODY: The new Asian source (who for first told me that Fuji is about to announce 2 new bodies ) just told me that the first mirrorless interchangeable-lens body could be announced on June 25. I remember you that Fuji is about to launch a new X-Trans body and a new non X-Trans body.  P.S.: Trusted sources told me that the upcoming very cheap non X-Trans X-body will be offered in many colours.

NEW LENS: Also 2 new lenses, on should be a 16-50/55 zoom lens and the 27mm f/2.8 could be finally released too! Source: FR post.

Panasonic, Olympus,Canon and Nikon seem to have no announcements in June. Their big show is coming in August-September!

Sony RX100MII and Sony RX1R specs!

.

Sony will not announce any new NEX stuff this month but they will launch two new RX cameras on June 27. Ok, not really very new:

The Sony RX1R:
It’s exactly the same camera as the current RX1 but it misses the Anti Aliasing filter. That’s why Sony will present it as the “High Reoslution” RX1 version. DOn’t knwo what the price will be. But I guess they will charge you a bit extra for removing the Filter :)

The Sony RX100MKII:
It has an “updated” 20 megapixel sensor with Exmor R technology. The same Zeiss lens as the RX100. But there are plenty of other changes: new tilt screen, longer battery life, ISO 100, Built-in Wifi, 24p recording and Hot Shoe.

I am a bit surprised Sony skipped a possible RX10 release. I guess the APS-C compact market is a bit to full for them?

Hot! Sony RX1-R and RX100MKII to be announced on June 27!

First Leica X Vario got leaked, than Pentax Q7 got leaked, than Samsung Galaxy NX got leaked and now pieces of the new Sony RX100MKII got leaked. What a busy time here on MirrorlessRumors! The image on top shows you the new RX100MKII with tiltable screen, same 20 Megapixel sensor form the actual RX100. The new MKII also features Hot Shoe and built-in Wifi.

And it gets better guys…the new RX1-R Full Frame camera is coming too! Both cameras will be announced on June 27! Stay tuned…I suspect more leaks will come soon ;)

Hot! First images of the Samsung Galaxy NX mirrorless system camera!

You really thought the Galaxy S4 Zoom would be the big Samsung hit of the month? Nope! Samsung will announce the new Galaxy NX system camera in a special London event on June 20th. And right now the Vietnamese website tinhte leaked the pictures of the new Galaxy NX camera (Click on the pics to see a large size version).

The camera has a 4.3-inch display that on these pictures displays the Android Jelly Bean with Samsungs TouchWiz. The camera should feature a Exynos 4 Quad-Core-Processor with 2 GB RAM and 8 or 16 GB built-in storage (you can chose one or another). It has a 20.3 Megapixel APS-C sensor, records 1080p Full HD. Price should be around 1.000 Euro.

Pentax Q7 pictures leaked! To be announced on July 5.

Digicaminfo posted the images of the new Pentax Q7 camera. As you can see there is Black, Silver and Yellow version. The new camera that will be announced on July 5 and as previously posted it has a new larger 1/1.7 type sensor (larger than the other Q models!).

This is the same sensor size of the Panasonic LX and Samsung EX series (both with fixed lens). The interesting thing is that all Q lenses are able to cover the larger sensor size. Good news for all current Q lens owners!
