The popular Japanese Magazine “Nippon Camera” published their product roadmap for 2013. It’s based on their own sources and speculations. This is their mirrorless camera list:

Canon: New EOS-Me in July
Nikon: New Nikon 2 in August
Sony: NEX-3n and NEX-7r in March-April. NEX-9 in August
Olympus: E-P5 in April. E-M7 in August.
Panasonic: GF7 in March, G7 in August, GX2 and GH5 by end of the year.
Ricoh: GR Digital V
Fuji: X-M1 in April,X-PRO 2 in July and X-E2 in August.

Nice roadmap but I think only half of the things are correct. NEX-9 is coming in 2014, NEX-7r is named NEX-7n according to my sources. GH5 sounds a bit weird and X-M2 is also unlikely to come :)

A Nikonrumors reader design (not the real rumred camera!).

Is Nikon going after the Fuji X100s? Nikonrumors reports that “Nikon will announce a new compact camera with 16.2 effective megapixels DX-sized CMOS sensor, fixed 28mm f/2.8 (or maybe even f/2.0) lens and EXPEED 2 image processing engine“

The Sony NEX-3n specs are out and the camera will be announced next Monday (Feb 25th). These are the specs:

• 16MP Exmor APS-C sensor (same as NEX-F3)
• ISO range: 200-16,000
• 4fps
• Tiltable LCD screen
• Electronic zoom control
• BIONZ processor
• Built-in flash (GN6)
• Available in two colors: black and silver
• Price for body with 16-50mm kit lens $499

There will be an even bigger NEX announcement in April with the new NEX-7 successor and new lenses!

This week Sony is going to announce the new Sony NEX-3n. And those are the “naked” pictures of the camera seen from all his sides. A part of that new Powerzoom controller there will be no big news on the camera. It has the same sensor as the NEX-F3.
Those of you waiting for some NEX-7 successor and E-mount lens news will have to wait just a tiny bit more (coming in April).

There is almost no more doubt that Sony will announce the new NEX-3n next week. The NEX-7 successor will follow in late Spring-early Summer. But we just heard that also Panasonic may have an announcement very soon! Not sure yet if they will introduce the new GF or G or both at the same time. If you are waiting for some Olympus news than guys you may have to wait a lot! The E-P2 and the first f/2.8 constant zoom may come in June only.

Overall it looks like Sony, Panasonic, Fuji and Olympus will wait for the second half of the year to announce the more “heavy” stuff. SO let’s hope at leats that Samsung FF March release rumor wasn’t just a false hope!
