According to rumors we received yesterday Panasonic will announce a new camera which will not be comparable with any camera released by Panasonic before. We are not talking about long awaited successor. The LX4 (or LX5) will be announced late July or before Photokina. And we are not talking about a camera with interchangeable lenses. The sources did not tell us exactly how it will look like but we from 43rumors believe it will be a MicroFourThirds camera with fixed lens.
The camera should be unveiled early July. We hope some of our sources can tell us more about that camera soon!

Thanks Heli. ;)

Stephen Sanderson (Pentax UK product co-ordinator) confirms that Pentax could soon release a mirrorless camera. In an interview on Amateur Photographer he said: “‘It’s quite clear that we don’t want to be seen as the same as everyone else. We would go down a different route.‘”

According to unreliable sources (CR1) from Canonrumors the mirrorless “Canon will use an APS-H (1.3x crop) sensor.”

My opinion? FAKE!

Leicarumors received a new hint “We will see a full frame Leica EVIL on Photokina 2010. It will look like the Leicaflex 18X24 prototype. Of course without mirror or the film lever and so on. It will be a VERY small system camera, but there will be a big battery grip you can use“

Amateur Photographer spotted a statement of a Canon officer which told on “Photo Trade Express” that

“Canon is proceeding with the development of a mirror-less interchangeable lens camera to compete against models launched by Panasonic, Olympus and Samsung.”
