Got some NX1 specs form a highly trusted source.

2) 28 megapixel APS-C sensor (said to be the best on market yet)
3) Phase detection af pixels on sensor
4) 154 cross type autofocus points
5) More than 10 fps per second (yet not specified by Samsung)
6) FullHD EVF (again said to be the best on market yet)

Samsung teases the NX1!

On September 15 Samsung will announce the 28 megapixel NX1 camera. And the first teaser has been spoiled at SamsungTomorrow. There is little to be seen on these images a part of the huge grip :)

I am working to get more specs…this will be the big news at Photokina for sure!

First images of the new 35mm and 50mm f/2.0 Zeiss Loxia FE lenses!

On Monday/Tuesday Zeiss is going to announce a new series of lenses named “Loxia”. These are lenses designed for Sony E-mount Full Frame mirrorless system. The first two lenses will be the 35mm f/2.0 and 50mm f/2.0 lenses. Both manual focusing and both with physical aperture ring (and available electronic control).

As far as I heard these lenses are not bounded to the sole Sony FE system. If Fuji or someone else is going to launch a Full Frame mirrorless system camera Zeiss can offer those lenses in that mount too!

 

The biggest hit at Photokina? It could be the Samsung NX1!

Well, we are slowly getting a clear picture about what’s coming.

1) Sony will focus on their A-mount stuff and “only” announced lenses for their mirrorless system (Zeiss Loxia and “normal” FE Sony lenses).

2) Panasonic will announce the LX1000 (fixed lens) and GM2 4K capable cameras

3) Olympus will announced the E-Pl7 today and is coming with a Silver E-M1 and new 40-150mm Pro lenses in a few days.

4) Canon/Nikon: Nothing serious on the horizon

5) Fuji “could” but also “could not” showcase a prototype of the 2015 X-PRO 2

So what could become the big hit at Photokina? Well it will come from an unexpected company: Samsung!

I have been told by sources the camera has the potential to become the best APS-C camera on market. It has a terrific EVF, over 10fps, brand new close to 30MP sensor and fastest AF on market. It looks like a modern camera (no retro style says redcrow).

I really can’t wait to learn more about that camera….
