It doesn’t sound like Canon want to aim the more advanced segment of the mirrorless market. CR. reports that: “Canon doesn’t have plans currently to launch more EOS M prime lenses, as they see the segment as “entry level”. What Canon could announce this summer is just a new EOS-M camera with a new 18-135mm zoom and another telephoto zoom. Canon truly doens’t want to hurt his own REBEL sales. But is that the right approach?
That happy Fuji rep is holding a yet not announced new Fuji camera :) The Swedish website Cyberphoto (google translation here) claims that the cameras hold by that smiling Fuji rep is a new model that Fuji will announce this summer: “unfortunately, we can not say whether it is compact or SLR. What we can say is that no current model is changed without Fujifilm expands its range. More information will come.“
Of course they did blur out the camera to make us more nervous :) But it’s easy to guess that this will be the rumored new X entry level system camera!
Samsung could soon announce a new NX camera. And if the pictures are real this could be the NX-R with built-in WiFi. the camera name has been previously leaked via Samsungs support page
via Photorumors.
CanonWatch spotted that video showing a yet not announced Speed Booster adapter for the Canon EOS-M system! On Metabones website you can find NEX and X mount adapters only.
And by the way, Metabones isn’t the only manufacturer offering a “Speed Booster” solution. The Chinese company Mitakon now sold their first “Lens Turbo” adapters on .
Eagmi spotted a new Japanese Tamron patent describing a 35mm f/1.4 lens made for mirrorless systems. I really hope that lens will soon become a real product! It is yet unknown for which system they could release it. For now Tamron only made one lens, the 18-200mm for Sony NEX (here at Amazon).
The Sony RX100 showed us hot to make a “real compact” camera with larger sensor. And it sounds like Canon is going to make a competitor with the same size btu with even larger APS-C sensor! CanonWatch reports that “Canon may be working on a compact camera with a large sensor. Not a successor of the PowerShot G1 X (price & specs), but a camera like the PowerShot S110 (price & specs), just a bit a larger. The camera should have a fast lens and the new APS-C 18MP sensor featured on the Rebel Sl1/EOS 100D (price & specs), and the DIGIC 6 Image Processing Unit. No viewfinder. Pricing should be less than the PowerShot G1 X when it was released. We expect Canon to announce this camera at the end of Summer 2013.“
APS-C compact of the same size of the RX100? I have to see it to believe it!
Still no rumor from the Canon EOS-M mirrorless system. But Canon is lowering the price of the camera and you can now grab it with lens(!) for $399 only at .

Patrick at FujiRumors got feedback from trusted sources and they confirmed a new X entry level system camera is coming soon from Fuji. These are the key info:
– It will be announced in Summer
– It will be smaller than the current [shoplink 100016]Fuji X-E1[/shoplink]– It hess less controls and dials than the X-E1
– There is no built.in viewfinder
There is also an anonymosu (also not trusted source) that said that the Body + Lens price is around $550 and launch in July. For that price you get a lens and the X-trans sensor? If ture it would be easily a hotseller. But to be honest the “rumored” price sounds too low to be true.
