It’s basically an NX300 with an improved tilting LCD screen :)
A couple of days ago Fuji invited photographers and blogger on a meeting in Tokyo. Bert Stefani was part of the fellowship and reported:
Throughout our visit, we were given the chance to give feedback on top-secret prototypes in various stages of development, from early ideas to almost production ready products. We didn’t have to sign any NDAs or contracts but I’ll leave the honor of announcing new products to the people who design them with so much passion (so dear rumor sites, there’s no reason to keep e-mailing me). But I can tell you is that the future of the X-series looks very exciting.
Let’s hope Fuji has something to offer “against” the upcoming NEX-9 Full Frame mirrorless. It would be great to have a competition as soon as it gets! (found via Fujirumors)
There are also three new US deals to report:
1) $72 off on the Silver Fuji X-M1 with 16-50mm lens at Amazon US (Click here).
2) $50 off on the new Fuji X100s on .
3) $110 off on the Fuji X100 on .
The Sony versus Samsung sensor war just got more interesting. Samsung (press here) just announced a new sensor tech named “ISOCELL”. The sensor perfomance is better than Sony BSI sensor tech used in most smartphones and compact cameras with smaller sensor (up to the RX100MII). Here you can see an image comparison between Sony’s BSI and Samsung’s ISOCELL sensors:
Now let’s see if Samsung will make a sort of RX100 camera with ISOCELL tech…
Dpreview Forum user Jon spotted the name of the new EOS-M2 mirrorless cameras on the new version of DPP downloaded from Canon’s website.
It should be announced any time soon now!!!
The Sony NEX leaking time may just started in an unusual way. Top fashion photographer Clayton Nelson claims to have taken these images with the new Sony NEX-7R prototype camera he got from Sony:

UPDATE: Pictures have now been removed by the authot. This means Sony asked him to remove the images :)
His first feedback is:
I emailed Sony some of the images I took earlier in the week, explaining how delighted I was with the camera, especially the color sensor. These cameras are far beyond playthings. I believe that they can be utilized as substantial tools in an artistic format. They are certainly not toys..
He posted the info today and let’s hope he will post more tidbits tomorrow too!
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…
