Panasonic, Samsung and Sony announcements on January 5th.
Samsung, Sony and Panasonic confirmed they will announce new products on January 5th. But there will be almost certainly no new mirrorless system (photo)camera. They will announce new TV's camcorders and maybe compact and fixed lens cameras.
Samsung may be the only exception. There is a new NX400 (or NX500) coming soon. We just don't know yet if it will be announced at CES or CP+.

Ricoh still says they have no plan to make an APS-C mirrorless system camera (and no word on GXR).
DC.watch interviewed Ricoh managers. And there is little info about their mirrorless strategy. Ricoh spends no word on the GXR concept (is it death?) and says they have no plan yet to launch an APS-C interchangeable mirrorless system camera.
So basically the news here is that...there is no news :)

Samsung will launch new zoom smartphone cameras at CES.
One way to move away from the shrinking compact camera and fixed lens cameras is to "try" to offer a similar experience on smartphone cameras. That is exactly what Samsung is doing with the smartphone zoom series.
And now Samsung will introduce at least three new smartphones with zoom lenses on it at CES (start at January 6). The C125, C600 and C805. We will see if those smartphone-camera hybrids will succeed on the market!

New interviews: Olympus says no Full Frame yet. And Sony says no Medium Format yet.
Today DC.watch posted the content of the interview with Sony and Olympus. There is no really interesting info about their plans. As expected they will both focus on strengthen their current camera and lens line. Both confirm the trend goes towards realizing Higher Megapixel sensor and better autofocus performance. They also said what they NOT plan to do in the near future: Olympus will not go Full frame yet and Sony will not make an interchangeable Medium Format system yet.

It's official: Canon and Nikon confirm the new High Megapixel race (and mirrorless interests).
In a double interview at DC.watch, both Canon and Nikon managers confirmed that 2015 is very highly likely becoming the year of the new Megapixel race. And both also sounded very serious about their next steps into the mirrorless world with more "serious" propositions to come.

Christmas Rumor: Samsung NX1-lx camera with less than 20MP and 1 stop ISO increase.
It's Christmas rumor time :)
SamsungCameraRumors reports:
Samsung is seriously considering to launch a special NX1-lx camera version with lower than 20 megapixel sensor. It will have 1 stop better High ISO performance than the current NX1. And it has 2 stop better high ISO than the current NX30/NX300 cameras.
The likely release of the camera is second half of 2015.

Sony A7000 and A9 to be announced as next?
Sony rumors are growing lately and there seems to be two new E-mount cameras on the pipeline:
Sony A7000:
APS-C E-mount camera with 5 axis stabilization and priced above the A6000 but still way less than $1,000 with kit lens. Announcement at CP+ in February?
Sony A9:
Placed above the current A7 series. Full Frame sensor with almost 50 megapixel resolution (Bayer sensor). 4D tracking af and 5 axis included. Coming early or mid 2015.
Both sound like very attractive packages. Me personally think the A7000 coul be the best bet for the buck here!

Updated Samsung NX400 specs: Will compete against the Sony A6000!
Current NX300 vs A6000 (CameraSize).
Redcrow and SamsungCameraRumors are spilling out info about the next Samsung NX400 camera that should be announced in January/February.
- Same 28MP NX1 sensor
- Same NX1 autofous system
- Built-in EVF
- smaller buffer than nx1 but triple than nx300.
- 4K recording (although not 100% sure yet)
- no weather sealed body
- Price around $900 with kit lens.
Those features would push the NX400 in direct competition with the Sony A6000. But if the price gets confirmed it's quite above the $798 you spend now for the A6000 double lens kit!

Olympus E-M5II has same E-M5 sensor.
Image of the E-M5 sensor by Engadget
Olympus is going the Canon route and will keep "re-using" the same sensor on the newer generation cameras. The E-M5II will get the same E-M5 sensor without PDAF.
But still, Olympus will add the sensor shift shooting feature that will allow you to take 40 megapixel pictures by combining 8 pictures shot in rapid succession.

A dream come true? Rumored 50 megapixel Full Frame mirrorless camera from Canon!
A Full Frame mirrorless camera designed by David Riesenberg,
Well, I am sure Canon will release first "advanced" mirrorless system cameras in 2015. And Canon itself hinted the possibility to launch a completely new mirrorless mount system.
CanonWatch now reports that the launch of a 50 Megapixel Mirrorless Full frame camera is likely to happen in 2015.
I am yet not sure if that rumor is likely to become true or not. But we know Sony has a new A9 with high Megapixel sensor coming soon and I guess Canon knows that too...
From EOS-M to EOS-Madness? LOL :)

Sigma interview: Says FF cam is possible. E-mount lenses likely coming too.
Imaging Resource posted that interesting interview with Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki. These are the highlights:
1) Sigma's business is growing and the only issue they have is supply shortage: "we have lots of back orders that we can't catch up on."
2) Mr. Kazuto says "we've received lots of requests from customers to make a larger-sensored (Full Frame) camera." and "we're studying that challenge." And also interesting is that he said that it's easier to keep the pixel pitch, and just increase the die size of the sensor and numbers of Pixels. It would create a real high resolution FF sensor!
3) He also said it's unlikely they will make MFT designed lenses: "If we share the same lens construction for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds, then we can reduce the cost. If we make the lens just for Micro Four Thirds, possibly the price would be higher.". And "The demand for Micro Four Thirds lenses is still fairly low, compared to APS-C or full-frame."
4) About E-mount lenses: "On the other hand, for the Sony E-mount, there aren't so many lenses like Micro Four Thirds, so we get lots of requests."
It would certainly be a bold move to make lenses for the E-mount system!

This is how the future Sony (and Olympus camera?) sensor will work!
This is the detailed description of the new Sony APCS (Active Pixel Color Sampling) sensor. The first of these new generation sensor will be launched in early 2015 on compact smartphones. Larger sensors for Alpha cameras (and Olympus MFT cameras?) are supposed to be launched after.
The new sensor has an electrified color filter that moves horizontally. It takes three exposure pictures (Red-Green-Blue) and merges them into one. The advantages are:
- One single pixel has 100% full color info (Bayer sensors need more pixels)
- Pixels can be larger compared to current Bayer sensors. This means less noise (or more resolution) possible
- Sensor has also Global shutter with very fast frame rates (16,000 at 2K) and no jello effect
- Very high native sensitivity of around 5,000 ISO!
On paper the only drawback is the triple exposure needed to get the full color information. We don't know how this will effect long exposure shots or shots on moving subjects!

Sony to launch world's first per pixel color sampling sensor in 2015.
SonyAlphaRumors posted that image of a new sensor that will be launched in early 2015. It does get rid of the common Bayer RGB pattern because each single pixel is capable of capture the full color spectrum. It does it by using an electrified moving filter.
SAR writes that design will be used for a 1.5 inch Z4 smartphone first and than used on larger photocamera sensors too. We can expect following advantages:
– Bigger pixels compared to same resolution Bayer sensor. This means more electrons captured and therefore higher dynamic range and lower noise (crazy ISO possible…even crazier than those of the Sony A7s).
– No moire issues anymore. No Anti Aliasing filter needed (increases per pixel sharpness).
– That tech also allows to make crazy high megapixel sensor. For example if you keep an Sony’s APCS pixel size same as the current Sony A7r 36MP RGB pixel size sensor you could in theory make a much higher resolution sensor with same noise level.
– Less pixels to read means also faster processing and readout.
– You actually can have a “full-monochrome” sensor
As usual with those kind of new stuff, we have to see them for real to see how good it works! ....But it looks good on paper :)

Olympus will announce a completely "different" OMD camera with "unique" sensor in January!
This comes via our best sources:
Olympus will bet extremely high on a completely new sensor tech when releasing the new OMD MFT camera in January! We have been told Olympus has worked really high to bring a major bump forward in Image Quality. The camera itself also will feature a new design.
It will be the official E-M5 successor but will have little in common with the E-M5....
Only two months to go to see if Olympus will keep the promise!

You can watch the full video on Thenakedcamera.com. There is really not a lot to see on this video :)
