Let’s catch up with some lens rumors:
1) Fuji is likely going to announce a XF 90mm f/2.0 lens in late 2014 or early 2015 at max (Source: Fujirumors).
2) Olympus will soon announce the $1,799 expensive and high quality 7-14mm f/2.8 MFT lens (Source: 43rumors).
P.S.: A major bunch of FE lenses will be announced in late August by Sony. But still no specs available yet…
Hybrid viewfinder lovers will be happy to hear that Fuji is likely going to announce a new X-PRO2 and X200 camera at Photokina in September. Both will feature a new APS-C X-Trans sensor. No guys, these will not be organic sensors (they will come in two years from now).
The specs of the cameras are yet unkown. But before the two big guys Fuji will also announce the new X30 compact camera with 1 inch sensor.
Really a great time for Fuji fans!
In an interview released at Amateur Photographer Leica didn’t rule out the possibility to launch a Full Frame Leica T version sometimes in the future.
To be realistic I don’t think this will happen any time soon. Leica still has to consolidate the Leica T lens range and focus on the marketing of the camera. But with more and mroe mirrorless FF cameras coming from 2015 towards Leica may be “forced” to launch a FF Leica-T version too!
A new sources sent me info this morning about a possible new Panasonic LX8 camera. He writes:
Panasonic lx8 comming soon.On July 16!Build in EVF and bigger Sensor.looks similar to the lx7
I have no track of the source and therefore take it with a grain of salt! :)
P.S.: After the Sony Rx100M3 and the soon to be announced Fuji X30 this would become the third large sensor compact camera with built-in EVF.
Back in January Samsung unveiled that a new NX1 flagship camera would come this year (article here). And now Photorumors reports that this camera will shoot 4K video and feature a new 28 Megapixel APS-C sensor.
After the GH4 and Sony A7s this would become the third mirrorless camera shooting 4K. But I think more companies (Canon, Olympus for example) will announce 4K cameras at Photokina.
I am a bit surprised to hear the camera will feature a 28 MP sensor. It would become the highest resolution APS-C camera to date. And unlike the GH4 and A7s such a sensor could show more moiree and issues on 4K videos. Or did Samsung find a way to solve that problem?
You know what they say: DSLR still is more “professional” when it comes to autofocus performance compared to those cheaper mirrorless camera. But how much of that is truth and how much is myth?
TheCameraStoreTV team compared the best mirrorless cameras against the best (and 4-5 times more expensive) Nikon D4s. You will be surprised to hear the conclusions. Watch the video!
Leica announced a Silver version of their M Monochrome camera. It will ship in very limited numbers from late May already.
With the market launch of the Leica M Monochrom around two years ago, Leica set a ground-breaking milestone in the field of black-and-white digital photography. The M Monochrom is known as the ideal tool for photographers who appreciate black-and-white photography as an expressive medium. In genres from reportage photography and available-light shooting to discreet, artistically aesthetic compositions, the camera adapts flexibly to every need and delivers convincingly exceptional imaging results in every situation.
