Until now Samsung didn’t manage to grab any sensible share of the mirrorless system camera market. But from what we heard now Samsung is going to release a camera completely re-engeered from ground up. Innovative sensor, innovative autofocusing system and many other new features will be implemented in the new NX1 camera.

The camera should be announced within the next 10 days already. But I am still not 100% sure about the specs. All I got about the NX1 is from an anonymous source and I certainly hope these are right:

Body looks like Mamiya 6 (big rangefinder with grip).
New EVF with highest res on market and new technology.
Sensor with 28MP. No isocell, but improved dr. Best performance on the market at high iso.
New user interface based on newer tizen. Big touch screen but plenty of physical controls.
Continuous af up to 10fps with focus tracking enabled, second gen OSPDAF with more af points than a6000.
Presentation around sep 2014, availability nov 2014.
Splash + dust proof.
Price 1300$ body only.
Kit with 1650 zoom 2300$.

In summary: Best sensor, best EVF, best AF. Sounds like a possible game changer!

Just read the text Fuji posted on their Photokina presentation page (Click here).

Whatever Fuji means with “full size sensor” isn’t really clear. Knowing how marketing works they just mean their APS-C sensors. But on paper “full-size” usually should mean “full-frame” as this is how we intend 35mm sensors.

Strange…

According to Fujirumors there is a chance Fuji will announce the new X-PRO 2 hybrid viewfinder camera at Photokina. It will feature a new APS-C sensor (likely 24 MP). The bad news is that it will ship in mid 2015 only :(

Thew Fuji X30 got leaked tonight! It’s coming in two color versions, Full Black or Silver-Black. Price should be around 70,000 Yen (rough conversion: 500 Euro or 670 Dollars).

Digicameinfo spotted that image of the soon to be announced Leica MP 24 Megapixel “purist” camera. The specs are the followings:

– 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor
– Range finder
– 3 inches 920,000 dot LCD monitor
– (ISO100 extended) ISO200-6400
– Built-in 2GB memory
– 1980×1080 25fps video stereo
– 139mm x 80mm x 42mm size

As with all MP camera series there is no red Leica logo to see.

This is the soon to be announced Olympus E-Pl7 seen from all angles.
