Fujiguys (Click here) posted a new set of X-E1 and XF1 videos. And if you are still deciding if you should get the X-Pro 1 or the X-E1 just check out the latest comparison at Fujirumors. P.S.: Plenty of X-E1 are now in Stock (Just check Slidoo eBay for example).
By the way, Olympus announced the new 17mm lens and you can read all news and reviews over at 43rumors. The rumored 40-150mm f/2.8 lens will likely be announced in January.
Fuji:
And finally the X-E1 is in Stock in US stores too:
Black X-E1 body on Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
Silver X-E1 body on Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
The kit version still isn’t in Stock in US. You can find some of them in Europe (via eBay).
Olympus:
Tomorrow (November 15th) Olympus will finally release the 17mm f/1.8 lens. It’s going to be priced at 499 Euro instead of the previous rumored 550 Euro price tag. But you will have to pay 60 Euro extra to get the original hood :(
Sony:
BBC cameraman Johnni Behiri tested the NEX-6 video quality. In short…he says it sucks :)

We got many new reviews and here is a roundup of the most important ones:
Digitalcamerainfo posted their full GH3 review: “The Panasonic GH3 is the Micro Four Thirds system all grown up, and it’s hard to argue that it’s not the best mirrorless system camera to date. While we’ve seen impressive performance from other bodies like the Sony NEX-7, and incredible styling and control in the Olympus OM-D E-M5, the Panasonic GH3 brings all of that together with some exceptional video quality to boot.“
ePhotozine is the first website posting the full Sony 35mm f/1.8 E-Mount lens review. The lens gets marked as “Highly Recommended” for the following reasons: “Sharpness is very good from maximum aperture, and can even be considered as outstanding as the lens is stopped down.Other optical anomalies, such as CAs, falloff and distortion are also kept well in check, plus the light weight and compact dimensions of the lens should make this an ideal addition to any serious NEX camera owners kit bag. The addition of optical stabilisation can only enhance the appeal of this lens.“
Photographyblog (Click here) just published the full X-E1 review. It gets Highly Recommended by the reviewer: “The Fujifilm X-E1 feels even more like the natural interchangeable lens evolution of the incredibly popular X-100 camera than the X-Pro1 did, offering refined, intuitive handling, fantastic image quality, premium build quality and five high-quality lenses on launch.“

You really have to watch this! Made by Sony Australia to debunk the DSLR “Big is better” myth.

It’s certainly a camera that will attract many buyers unlike the Samsung NX cameras which sales are disappointing. That may be the reason why Samsung UK decided to reward every NX camera purchase with a free tablet!!! More about it at Photographyblog.
And while Nikon 1 is patenting one AF technique after another (latest one here) they started a huge deal on the Nikon V1 with lens at Amazon (Click here).
