X100T, X-Pro1, X-E2 and X30 owners can now buy the official Fuji thumb grips. But you have to spend quite a lot for them because the official price in Japan is around $100!

This comes via our best sources:
Olympus will bet extremely high on some new sensor tech features when releasing the new OMD MFT camera in January! The camera itself also will feature a new design. It will be the official E-M5 successor but will have little in common with the E-M5….
UPDATE: I have been told that while the sensor design changes are minor there is at least one unique feature on the sensor. Something that has to do with some sort of extra resolution…
Only two months to go to see if Olympus will keep the promise!
This is the very first and completely boring porn video shot on a Drone! They used the Panasonic GH4 and the 14mm pancake to make it.
You can watch the full video on Thenakedcamera.com. There is really not a lot to see on this video :)
The XF 56mm f/1.2 APD
Here are two new rumors:
Fuji (Source: Fujirumors):
In an interview Fuji confessed they are (or were) considering to make a new 35mm f/1.4 APD version just like they did with the 56mm APD. It’s unclear if they will make it.
What is definitely coming is a super telephoto prime!
Sony (Source: SonyAlphaRumors):
In an interview Sony didn’t deny the possibility to make a medium format camera. It’s not clear if this will be a fixed or interchangeable lens camera.

The latest CIPA data from September show that mirrorless camera shipment is still growing compared to August. But it’s not as good as 12 months ago. The US market saw a drop in camera shipments while EU market was growing. But this may be just a cyclic event. Full graph can be seen as usual on Personal View.
Here are two new patents from Sony and Olympus:
1) Sony patented a Z-shift moving sensor that can focus on all manual third party lenses! This means even an 40-50 year old lens can be used to autofocus. It’s not the lens that moves it’s the sensor! More at SonyAlphaForum.
2) Olympus will “copy” Sony’s lens-camera idea! Images showing a sort of Olympus version of the QX camera can be seen at Egami.
