Yep! You can buy a new MFT camera (although it's not a new generation model) for $99 only at Adorama (Click here).
A couple of years ago you would not have believe you can grab a compact system camera for just $99!!!
These are the first images of the new Pentax Q2 leaked by Digicameinfo. There are no specs yet but I am sure the camera will be announced within the next few days already!
This is really a wild rumor but I got it via some trusted source. He says that he "heard" about a new Nikon camera system that could be launched at Photokina. And the first camera will feature the current Sony 50MP medium format sensor used by all newest generation Hasselblad, Phase one and Pentax MF cameras!
The Fuji X-M1 with kit lens now sells for $399 only via Newegg eBay (Click here). It's $200 less than the other US store price ($599 here at Amazon). Never you had the chance to spend that less to get a porper X mount camera!
Samyang will announce a newly designed APS-C lens for "some" mirrorless system. I heard it's certainly coming for Micro Four Thirds. But I guess Samyang will launch E and X mount versions too.
I have been told the lens has a high optical quality but still the famous Samyang low pricing :)
Sounds great!!!
A pretty much save rumor is that Fuji will announce the new X100T. Well officially Fuji photographer David Hobby erroneously published some image samples taken with the yet unannounced camera on Flickr (page has now been removed).
But on Reddit you can still find the Exif image proving those images where from the X100T. The camera specs according to Fujirumors are:
24MP X-Trans sensor
faster AF than X100S
tilt screen
new fixed lens
new EVF, better than X100S, but not as much as X-T1
wider phase detection area
The camera will be announced in 4-6 weeks!
These are the full specs of the upcoming new ultracompact, ultrafast and first curved sensor camera! It will feature a 2/3 inch curved sensor and use a damn compact 20mm f/1.2 lens.
The new sensor has the same signal to noise ration of a Canon 5DmarkIII. Quite amazing!
Icinsights posted a forecast about the camera market till 2017. And the market is expected to shrink:
Worldwide DSC shipments are expected to fall by a CAGR of -10% between 2012 and 2017 compared to an annual average growth rate of just 1% in the 2007-2012 period and nearly 31% per year in the 2002-2007 timeframe.
But there are two positive news: The System Camera Market is expected to growth further. And that's also the most profitable business for the camera producers. And the "non-conventional" camera market for Tablet-smartphones-medical-car-surveillance is expected to grow too!
Like you know the superzoom compact camera market is still growing and that's why we already have the next new superzoom announcement: Ricoh launched the new Pentax XG-1 (specs here at BH).
It doesn't feature a large 1 inch sensor like the recently unveieled Panasonic FZ1000. But it costs also less than a half!
