Nikonrumors reports that on October 24th not only the new V2 camera but also three new lenses will be announced:
1 Nikkor 32mm f/1.2
1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6
1 Nikkor 10-100mm f/4-5.6
But the main question remains. Will that be enough to compete against the NEX-MFT-EOS-M and X systems? When Is Nikon going to launch a more advanced mirrorless system?
The new X-E1 is a great camera but Fuji wants to keep the “hybrid” X PRO 1 appeal by offering some new great deal. For the first time in US the camera got a price drop of $170 at Amazon (Click here). And it is having a positive effect on the camera sales. The camera is climbing the popularity ranking (Click here). Keep in mind that there is also a $300 bundle deal when purchasing the camera with a Fuji X lens (Click here to see it).
If your interest still sticks on the newer X-E1 model you might want to see this. The first Kenji X-E1 Leather Half Case is now on .

ThePhoBlographer is the first website making a short comparison between the two new “rangefinder” alike cameras with built-in EVF, the Sony NEX-6 and the Fuji X-E1. Both cameras have the same sensor size and Megapixel number. The Fuji is a tack sharper, and the Sony has warmer colors and captures more detail in the shadows. Note that the Fuji has no AA filter which helps to get more “per pixel sharpness“.
One more Fuji news: A new set of X-E1 image samples have been posted by Brandon Remler.
That’s it! :)

Egami (Translation here) spotted a new Tamron patent describing three new lens designs: 40mm, 35mm and 30mm all with f/2.0 aperture. The interesting thing is that they designed this lenses for a sensor as large as 1 inch which is exactly the one used by the Nikon 1 system.
