After Panasonic it’s Fuji’s turn to announce a new product. Next Wednesday (April 17th) there will be a new lens announcement. While not confirmed yet it’s pretty obvious that this could be the new 55-200mm lens that Fuji marked on the roadmap (see image on top).
In the meantime Fujirumors also got more info about the future X PRO 2. That camera is likely to hit the market in early 2014 only.
. That’s almost a $200 discount over the regular price at Amazon!
And now back to rumors: Those are the specs of the new Ricoh GR model:
Via digicame-info via Photorumors.
Sources form Digicaminfo unveiled that a new APS-C premium Ricoh GR camera is going to be announced soon. It will be very close to the current Nikon Coolpix A camera that uses a 28mm f/2.8 lens. Also Panasonic will announce a high end compact camera in late April. it will have an integrated viewfinder but no large sensor like the Ricoh Nikon or other APS-C premium compacts.
Canon Japan announced a new “blue” EOS M! Actually the color name is “bayblue” color option. The official launch will be on April 25th comes with a special event, called “EOS M Photographic Journey”, with guest talks, showcases etc.
Found via CanonWatch.
The Fuji X PRO 1 has been announced 15 months ago and is still a unique camera. But the cheaper X-E1 and the brand new X100s gave us the feeling that an updated X PRO cameras has to come soon. And indeed a first rumor has been published by Fujirumors where they say that the next X camera to come is the X PRO 2 with dual processor to remove the EVF lag and speed up the image processor engine. The camera is likely to be announced the second half of the year.
Now that’s just my wishlist but I hope a new generation X Trans sensor is going to be used by the X PRO 2!
Panasonic announced the new GF6 and there is really no surprise. All the specs and images already have been leaked days ago :)
There is also a new updated 14-42mm kit lens and a white 14-42mm X zoom. Preorders are now live at Amazon (Click here).
Full coverage about previews and preorders are available at 43rumors.
Keep in mind that a second Panasonic announcement is due in two weeks already! There will be a new G6 and a new High End compact and fixed lens camera.
We have some official product images of two new MFT cameras. One is the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera that comes with a Super 16 sized HD sensor. That sensor has around 2 Megapixels and a 3x crop factor. The camera has one single cool. Shoot the best video quality (with CinemaDNG RAW) in a pocket size and for a low price ($995). I am sure that camera will beat the video quality og the $1299 Panasonic GH3!
Speaking of Panaosnic. here is the official image of the Panasonic GF6 that is going to be announced very soon at 5am CET time.
