The image on tops shows you the new Fuji 56mm f/1.2 and 10-24mm f/4 lenses. It has been posted by Fuji and you can download the full new PDF here: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/pdf/lenses_accessories_catalogue_01.pdf
And here is the new Fuji roadmap that includes the two new lenses:
Sony created quite a buzz with their QX Lens Cameras! And obviously other giants from the electronics industry will try to catch up as soon as it gets. And here is a first rumor about a Samsung QX clone :)
We have been told that Samsung is making a first QX alike camera having those specs:
10x zoom starting 24mm (no information about aperture)
20mpx sensor
stabilization
full hd video recording
NFC, wifi connection
But I still don’t know if that “idea” of doing photography with a smartphone will become very popular. Looks more like a niche product for now…
Nikon is trying to appeal new customers by being the first to offer a mirrorless rugged camera. The new Nikon 1 AW1 comes along two new rigged lenses, the Nikkor 1 AW 10mm f/2.8 and 1 AW 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses. The AW marked cameras and lenses are water, shock, dust and freezeproof. The camera can go 15m under water! I think this could be a real hit for Nikon. Finally a camera that can be with you on any travelling conditions!

After Fuji and likely Canon also Nikon will soon announce a new mirrorless cameras. Nikonrumors reports that Nikon will announce a new rugged 1 camera on Thursday morning (London time). No specs are known yet but it may be based on current Nikon 1 cameras.
I am still not sure about when exactly Canon will announce the new EOS-M cameras this week. Sony, Olympus and Panasonic will announce more stuff in October.
And finally the cheapest of all X-mount cameras has been announced, the new Fuji X-A1! And we also have a new XC 50-230 lens. Specs and price can be checked here:
X-A1: AmazonUS, BHphoto, Adorama.
XC 50-230: AmazonUS, BHphoto, Adorama
A first hands-on report can be read at Fujirumors.com. And press release at Dpreview.
Quite unusual to see that many announcements in October! Today we have more reliable info about the next Fuji and Sony announcements:
1) Fujirumors reports that a new Fuji X-E2 camera will be announced on October 20.
2) SonyAlphaRumors reports that the Full Frame NEX-9 will be announced right before the PDN show in New York (around October 20).
We still have no specs to share but I am pretty sure these will leak out soon. For now let’s focus on the new Canon EOS-M announcement while Olympus will follow soon with a High End Compact Camera release.
After many many months of waiting and rumors we are finally close to the new Canon EOS-M cameras and lens announcement. According to muliple sources Canon has scheduled a press announcement for this week. And the chance is high that they will unveil the new Canon EOS-M camera(s) and lenses.
Latest rumor said that two new EOS-M camera will be announced. A cheaper model direct successor of the current model and a more high end camera with built-in EVF. And a telezoom could be announced too.
