Hurry! I bet it will be out of Stock within minutes as this is the very first time the camera and lenses are in Stock in USA!
We are getting closer to the NABshow in Las Vegas and Sony is the first company to announce a new mirrorless camcorder! The NEX-FS700 you see here on top looks quite..well…unbalanced with that 18-200mm E-Mount lens on it :) Sony missed it to introduce some new high quality NEX zoom lens for filmmakers. With the 18-200mm that camera is pretty much like a Tiger in prison, or a Ferrari driven by Massa or a Djokovic forced to dance ballet :)
That said here is the full press release including specs: Sony Europe. There is no info about the price yet. But early rumors said it would cost around $8,000.
But good for Sony that also Panasonic seems to not be fully awake from the hibernation. Their new 12-35mm and 35-100mm X zoom lenses have been delayed again and will hit the stores by end of summer only. nevertheless Panasonic will introduce a new AG-AF camcorder on Thursday April 5th (yes that Thursday). Also the GF5 will be announced along the new camcorder. But that is not really a surprise anymore as specs and images leaked a long while ago!
P.S.: Canon si going to introduce a new “mini” C300 camera.
DC.watch (Click here) had a long interview with the team that developed the Canon G1X. Interesting that they said a G1X camera with interchangeable lens would have not been possible to develop. Panasonic proved with the 14-42mm X lens that it is possible. The Four Thirds sensor size has been used for an optimal miniaturization of the body and lenses. And than they got an easy answer about the possibility to make a G1X camera with interchangeable lens mount: “I think it’s technically possible“. Yeah of course, question is only when you will do it! :)
One of our readers just sent us the info he got from Amazon about his Fuji X PRO 1 preorder: “Your estimated delivery date is: Tuesday, April 3, 2012“. Of course this is not a fool’s day joke. For that read the Canon IX-D mirrorless camera release post at Digitalkamera (google translated)! :)

There is (again) a new leaked Samsung product. The NX1000 images have been posted on SLRclub (now removed). THe NX1000 is a sort of cheaper NX20 with 20 Megapixels and integrated WiFI. Click on the pictures to see the full size images.

DxOmark (CLick here) just published the full Pentax K-01 sensor test. The camera uses the same K-5 sensor which by the way is made by Sony. And the results are very good positioning the K-05 as second best mirrorless camera ever right behind the NEX-7. I really cannot fell in love with that camera design but I have been a Pentax K10 user for a long time and really like their usability and image quality. So I am not surprised to see a result like that.
The K-01 is in Stock status check via [shoplink ‘Pentax K-01’].
