Thanks Paul for finding this!
Olympus:
As we told you before it’s going to be very busy time in April. Also Olympus scheduled a new announcement date for end of April. There will be a new E-P5 and maybe their very first fast f/2.8 MFT zoom.
Sony:
More details are known about the new NEX-7n camera:
– New 24 Megapixel APS-C sensor with 1/2 stop improvement and increased dynamic range
– 3, 8 Million dot EVF
– touchscreen
– Hybrid Contrast and Phase Detection AF
– Tri Navi design reviewed
– Focus Peaking will be much improved with choice of colors
– Wifi, but no GPS on board.
– Same size and form factor of the current NEX-7 but with a minor redesign
Hasselblad:
Hasselblad will also launch their “Lunar” camera based on the same NEX-7 hardware. The Lunar will have a luxurious look and a luxurious price (over 5000 Euro!!!).

Leicarumors collected the latest Leica M news. On top you actually see a nice video shot with the Leica M. As you know this is the first Leica M-mount camera that can actually shoot movies.
P.S.: If one our MirrorlessRumors reader is a rich Sheikh or a famous Jet Set personality than you might grab that Gold Plated R6 that is on auction on [shoplink ” ebay]eBay Australia (Click here)[/shoplink] :)
DxOmark published the full Leica M-E sensor test. And as you see from the screenshot on top it can’t match the best FF sensors from Nikon and Canon. That said I am very curious to see how good the newer Leica M and the Leica Monochrome sensors are.
Speaking about the Monochrome, there is a full review at ThePhoBlographer that writes: “It’s hard for me to come up with anything poor to say about a camera that consistently “wow’ed” me. I had a bigger grin on my face after shooting with this than I have in a long time, and that certainly has to stand for something.“
I have “no grin” thinking on the $8000 I have to spend for a Monochrome Leica :)
Samsung Germany published the full manual of the still not announced Samsung NX1100. The specs in short:
– 20,3 Megapixels
– ISO 100 up to 12,800
– up to 30fps (8 fps full size pictures and 30fps at 6 Megapixel)
– Video: H.264, Ton: AAC
– 3 inch LCD with 921,000 dots
The camera should be announced soon and there may be a more mysterious and high end NX-R camera too!
UPDATE: There is now an English manual here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201303/20130306143127828/NX1100_English.pdf

Zeiss published this set of new images of the new X and E-mount lenses. The lenses were also rewarded with the IFA award. Click on the images to see a large size version:
They really look gorgeous!
Smartphones are eating up the low end compact camera market and the only profitable segment is now the premium compact camera market. And today Nikon launched the new “Nikon Coolpix A” featuring a 16 megapixel APS-C sensor.
Full specs, price and preorders at:
Black -> Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
Silver -> Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
Soon also Olympus will release a camera with a larger sensor. So you will have plenty of options :)
