The official announcement is expected at 4pm London time but in the meantime some websites leaked all the NEX-5R specs: Sony NEX-5R cameras at Samys (Click here) and preview at Photographic Central (Click here)!
Photorumors posted full X-E1 specifications. Here they are:
It’s not a surprise that current mirrorless stuff is getting discounted right before the Photokina showdown. The Nikon V1 got massive price drops on all kits (Check here at Amazon). And so the Sony NEX-5N (Check here). The Sony NEX-5R is going to be announced this week (Wednesday?) while the Nikon V2 could be announced right before Photokina.
Lavidaleica contacted me to say that they have insider info about a new Leica camera called “Leica ME”.
UPDATE: The site posted some more info. “The “ME” name however is subject to change. It is a real Leica, not a clone or a re-badge. It will cost less than the M9 and feature a regular VF (no EVF and not EVIL). In fact, it’s more like the M9 than it is different – it’s a scaled back M9. M mount. So there it is – sorry EVIL fans. We’re trying to confirm, but it should have a full frame sensor. Available shortly after Photokina.“
Yesterday we read the rumor about a new X PRO 2 model and in the meantime Digicaminfo found those nice pics of the entry level X-E1 Fuji camera! As you see there is no optical viewfinder…and it seemd to have an electronic viewfinder only. It comes in Black and in Silver. The price is still unknown. There is also a picture of the new XF18-55mm F2.8-4 R OIS. Now let’s see if the X PRO 2 is coming too!
The video on top shows you the inside of the Fuji X PRO 1. And as you know the X PRO 1 has quite some quirks we hoped they could solve via firmware upgrade. Apparently this is not going to happen and Fuji will do some major hardware changes on a new X PRO 2 camera that sources from Fujirumors said will be announced at Photokina. This camera is likely to bring some major advancement in AF speed and sensor technique.
P.S.: Some other website speculated that the camera may feature a Full Frame sensor. I haven’t heard anything like that yet from my sources…
