Techrada erroneusly posted and quickly removed the GF6 preview. But Google was too quick for them and chached the full preview. The camera style suggets that it has been now placed right in between the current GF and GX series. And it may means that it will rpelace both the GF5 and GX1.

Both the new GF6 and G6 will be announced on April 9th! And don’t forget that Sony has a live show on Sunday April 7th. But sadly, no new NEX camera is going to be announced :(

Finally we ill see the light of plenty of new products:

1) Panasonic set an announcement for April 9th. The new GF6 and G6 are going to be unveiled and both will likely use the same 16 Megapixel GX1 sensor. And both mark the end of the minuaturization. The GF6 and the G6 are bigger than its rpedecessors!

2) Sony will have an announcement on a quite unusual way. They chosed Sunday(!) for the announcement of their new camcorders. No new NEX camera should come but maybe Hasselblad and Zeiss will announce respectively their Lunar cameras and the three prime lenses.

The NAB show is a very “video” oriented show. It means that I don’t expect pure camera makers like Olympus to announce something. As long as I know a new wave of cameras and lenses will be announced in late April-early may by many companies.

The German Leica Camera Forum spotted the images of the first Leica Disney cameras. Amazing or not?

And by the way, also Nikon-Sigma launched a partnership and willd evelop a new mirrorless system (Fotoblogazin Germany).

UPDATE: And we also have the first Leica 3D camera at 3Dkraft!

P.S.: What day is today? :)

Panasonic and Hasselblad will announce new mirrorless cameras in early April. Ok, let’s face it, the Hasselblad Lunar isn’t really a new cameras…it’s a NEX-7 with a luxurious chassis. You can opt for one of the five designs displayed on Hasselblad-Lunar.com. Price for that luxury is over $5,000.

A lot more cheaper cameras are going to be announced by Panasonic on April 9th. The cameras will be a minor update over the predecessors. No fancy new sensor and no big new tech but many small improvements here and there. The probably most interesting news is that the new GF will be very similar to the current GX making the current GX1 basically…useless (from a marketing point of view). I guess dramatically “different” GX2 is on the horizon…

Right in time for the start of the the Las Vegas Nabshow Panasonic and maybe Sony will announce their new mirrorless products.

Panasonic is expected to announce the new GF and G cameras and NO(!) new lenses on April 9th.

I am still not sure about Sony but some unconfirmed rumors do say there could be some kind of announcement on April 3th. But there may be camcorder only and no new NEX-7n…

But even after the NAB show there will be new announcements. One again from Panasonic for a mysterious “new kind of camera” and from Olympus for the new E-P6.

It’s a bit quite now on the Canon-Nikon-Fuji-Pentax front but I think there should come something from them too!

A good source told us that while It is true that Samsung is developing a NX Full Frame system the first camera will be available in 2014 only. And if the info is correct than 2014 sounds like the year where plenty of manufacturers will launch their FF mirrorless system. Sony is rumored to launch a new NEX-9 with 24 MPX sensor along three new Zeiss primes in June 2014. Fuji may will follow with a new FF X system in late 2014.

Nikon and Canon instead will keep focusing on the launch of ultra cheap FF DSRL and that may be a serious challenge for all future FF mirrorless systems!

As we told you last week Canon plans to move against the mirrorless world by announcing a super tiny new DSRL. And on top you can see the first image leaked via Digicaminfo. You really can’t go smaller than this :)

That said we have some news on the “regular” mirrorless front too. The SOny NEX-7n has been delayed (probably due in June instead of April) and the E-P5 is coming in late April and uses exactly the same E-M5 sensor. Still no news about the mysterious Samsung NX-R…
