One of our very good sources told us that a new “exceptional” mirrorless product will be announced on August 26 (Japan time). The product is “unexpected” and no rumor website since now suspected that this was coming! So we are the first to talk about that ;)

That new product will certainly be one of the highlights at Photokina! Follow mirrorlessrumors and as soon as we receive some news about that camera we will post it!

I confess, I would love to own a digital “mirrorless” medium format camera a la Mamiya 7 ;) May those dreams will become a reality?

According to Canonrumors “Canon is having some interest in purchasing a medium format company. Apparently they’ve moved to the point of actually opening the companies books.“.

But Canon is not the only big company moving in that direction. Via Photofan.jp
we learned that “A kind of noise caused by many large companies the agreement between the three incoming. The agreement will create a high-end photographers, photo artists and creators to create the new system.
Samsung, Schneider – Kreuznach finishing and Alpa is a big deal to create a photographic Association (SSA) to create the first fully digital, medium format camera system.
Samsung Electronics, Mr. President, Secretary Department of Justice Park said: “Each company in each of the consortium of professional and high quality system for the medium format of the sensitive components of the professional, we have completed the first medium-format CMOS sensor, and the first model electronic components. “

In fact, we do not have information, or in this new system will be published.

According to our sources Sony is currently very close to the decision to stop their DSLR Fullframe development (lenses and cameras). There are many reasons why this could/will happen:

1) Sony wants to focus on the development of the NEX system. For the first time they see the chance to increase their market share!
2) Sony wasn’t able to earn money from their FF cameras and it is expensive to keep and develop three different lens-systems (APS-C and FF DSLR and NEX).

The next FF was expected to be announced in 2011, but everything is uncertain now. Maybe the A850 was the last Sony FF camera! Some thoughts about that decision have been posted on bythom (by Thom Hogan).

So after Olympus also Sony could drop their classic “DSLR” camera development. But keep in mind, those are long-term decisions. You will still see new DSLR from Olympus and Sony at Photokina. But in 2011…

Sony will now force the development of NEX cameras and lenses. More news about that soon on mirrorlessrumors!

DDaily said that Samsung plans to unveil a new NX camera and three new lenses on September 14.

According to our sources those till be the NX100 (very compact camera like the $loc = $_SESSION[‘geoip’];

if ($loc == ‘GB’ OR $loc == ‘UK’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Panasonic GF1 }
if ($loc == ‘ES’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Panasonic GF1 }
if ($loc == ‘IT’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Panasonic GF1 }
if ($loc == ‘AT’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Panasonic GF1 }
if ($loc == ‘DE’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Panasonic GF1 }
if ($loc == ‘BE’)

if ($loc == ‘JA’ OR $loc == ‘JP’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Panasonic GF1 }
if ($sel != ‘1’)
{?>Panasonic GF1 } ?>). The three lenses could be the 20mm, 20-50mm and the 60mm macro.
