A Nikonrumors reader design (not the real rumred camera!).
Is Nikon going after the Fuji X100s? Nikonrumors reports that “Nikon will announce a new compact camera with 16.2 effective megapixels DX-sized CMOS sensor, fixed 28mm f/2.8 (or maybe even f/2.0) lens and EXPEED 2 image processing engine“
The Sony NEX-3n specs are out and the camera will be announced next Monday (Feb 25th). These are the specs:
There will be an even bigger NEX announcement in April with the new NEX-7 successor and new lenses!
This week Sony is going to announce the new Sony NEX-3n. And those are the “naked” pictures of the camera seen from all his sides. A part of that new Powerzoom controller there will be no big news on the camera. It has the same sensor as the NEX-F3.
Those of you waiting for some NEX-7 successor and E-mount lens news will have to wait just a tiny bit more (coming in April).

There is almost no more doubt that Sony will announce the new NEX-3n next week. The NEX-7 successor will follow in late Spring-early Summer. But we just heard that also Panasonic may have an announcement very soon! Not sure yet if they will introduce the new GF or G or both at the same time. If you are waiting for some Olympus news than guys you may have to wait a lot! The E-P2 and the first f/2.8 constant zoom may come in June only.
Overall it looks like Sony, Panasonic, Fuji and Olympus will wait for the second half of the year to announce the more “heavy” stuff. SO let’s hope at leats that Samsung FF March release rumor wasn’t just a false hope!
Short update about the new Sony NEX-3n. The February 20th announcement will bring us only the new Sony NEX-3N with same 16Megapixel sensor as the F3. There will be no NEX-7 successor yet and no other new E-mount lens. But I have been told that another announcement will follow in early April and another one in June. And by than we will have new E-mount lenses and even the new NEX-7 successor!
Regarding the Full Frame NEX: The camera is still in development and no final decision has yet been taken. One thing is sure, it is not coming within this year. So let’s hope for Samsung next month… :)
Even if you don’t care about the new Playstaton that is going to be announced soon on February 20th you should keep a close eye on the event. There is a fair chance that Sony will introduce the new NEX-3n camera that today got leaked at SAR. It’s not that much different from the current NEX-F3. The major change will be that tiny electronic zoom option you can see on the picture. There is no info yet about possible new E-mount lens announcements although we know that So
ny plans to launch a Zeiss zoom and a 85mm f/1.8 later this year.
And let’s keep talking about lenses. Olympus is rumored to launch soon the first of the two f/2.8 constant aperture and high quality MFT lenses that will hit the market within 2013. No specs are available yet but the lenses will be similar to the current Panasonic X lenses (12-35mm and 35-100mm) while delivering a higher image quality compared to the latter.
P.S.: Some bird told me the NEX-7 successor isn’t far away too ;)
The most awaited announcement is likely the one that is rumored to come from Samsung in March. There is a small chance they may be the first company (after Leica) to introduce a Full Frame mirrorless system camera. While there is no reliable info about that camera at least we got some evidence for an imminent Samsung announcement. The German online store Fotokoch already displays the price of the new 50-200mm f/4.05.6 zoom. You will get it for 349 but it is yet no available for preorder. And there is also a new white 16mm f/2.4 pancake (the current one is available in black only).
Let’s hope that this is one of the small bread camps we have to follow until the final NX-R FF camera announcement!
