Fuji X-T10 will definitely be announced on May 18!
I am pretty sure Fujirumors is spot on here: The Fuji X-T10 will be announced on may 18! I got similar rumors from my sources and there is little that can go wrong now.
The X-T10 has no ISO dial, X-E2 EVF and built in flash. The real question is how much you will have to pay for it. I hope it will be really cheap because otherwise I doubt it will sell fine!

Leica Monochrome to be announced tomorrow (Thursday).
I have yet no specs but a Leica source just told me the camera will be announced tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what kind of sensor the new camera will use. I once heard Sony made a monochrome FF sensor. Maybe the new Leica will use it?

Samsung rumored to have "rewritten" the NX1 firmware code.
Apparently the reason why Samsung delayed the new firmware release for the NX1 is quite...surprising:
A source who shared correct Samsung rumors in the past told me that Samsung has "rewritten" the NX1 code. I don't know how deep those changes are. We will likely see that new NX1 code with the next firmware update. Let's hope this means we can expect some great improvements!

DxO about the NX1 sensor: "Hail the new king of APS-C hybrids!"
DxO (Click here) tested the new Samsung NX1 sensor and indeed it is the best APS-C sensor of all mirrorless cameras yet tested. It beats by a hair the current best of the class, the Sony A6000. DxO writes:
from Mirrorless RumorsThe new sensor in the NX1 has upped the stakes in terms of hybrid image quality, making Samsung’s latest hybrid the current king of mirrorless APS-C cameras in our database. The BSI sensor is not only the physically largest sensor of its type, but boasting a 28.2 million pixels, it’s also the highest-resolution APS-C hybrid currently available. With an overall DxOMark Sensor Score of 83 points, the NX1 knocks our previous APS-C hybrid champion, the Sony A6000, down into second place with 82 points.
As we’ve also seen with the impressive image quality results from the latest APS-C sensor in the Nikon D7200, the NX1’s smaller chip offers image quality close to that of full-frame sensors. It’s not quite as good, but still, being just one stop behind in all categories against models such as the Sony A7R, the image quality on the NX1 is impressive.
Add to that high-caliber features such as the 205-point autofocus system and 15fps burst shooting, and the NX1 is an attractive-looking proposition. The slightly bulkier design, not to mention the hefty $2400 price tag, will put off some consumers. For the more discerning enthusiast, however, the DSLR-style body, larger handgrip, optional vertical handgrip, external controls, and great image quality will certainly appeal.

Strange rumors: Nikon to launch a mirrorless Full Frame camera with... F-mount?
Image courtesy: Nikonrumors.
Nikonrumors reports that Nikon is developing a Full Frame Mirrorless camera. In a recent interview at Dpreview Nikon stated that there would be no need for a larger sensor mirrorless camera. But maybe they were just trying to hide their cards. What's strange with the rumor is that apparently Nikon will keep the regular DSLR F-mount for that camera! Just like Pentax did with their bulky K-mount mirrorless cam. Don't know if it makes sense to keep a mount with long flange distance for a mirrorless camera...
Anyway, those are the rumored spec of the camera:
mirrorless / mirrorless-styled
the camera will be small (about the same size as the Olympus E-M1)
no EVF
regular F mount
currently being field tested
the official announcement is expected in late 2015 or early 2016

Awesome (if true)! Fuji plans to launch a superfast 30mm f/1.0 lens!
Fujirumors reports that:
Fujifilm is working on a Super Fast XF lens, that will have a widest opening of F1.0. The source says that the specs are not final until now, but the focal length planed at the moment is around 30mm.
Would be awesome if Fuji would really do it! A lens to remmeber, a lens few will buy but that will make you WOW thinking at it :)

Nikon says they will not make bigger sensor mirrorless cameras.
If you were hoping to get an APS-C or even FF mirrorless camera from Nikon you will have to digest that. In an interview at Dpreview Nikon said:
We still believe that Nikon 1 has room for further evolution. This is the area we want to put effort in to, rather than making bigger sensor mirrorless cameras.
We have two different categories: the D-line and the 1-series, and with these lineups, we believe we’ll meet all the needs of customers.

New DSLR and Mirrorless shipment data from Japan. Flat sales...
Personal View posted the graphs of the February digital camera sales. As you can see there is no big news. Camera sales are still bad compared to the previous year (which was alreayd a very bad year). And this time both DSLR and Mirrorless camera shipments were lower than the same month 12 months ago. Wondering when this will ever end to fall and fall...

Sony keeps working on a new Foveon alike multilayer sensor.
I guess the question that we have to answer is not "if" but "when" Sony will finally make their first multilayer sensor cameras. The last few years Sony patented many such Foveon alike sensor ideas. And the newest patent underlines their effort to design a much improved version of the Sigma sensor. To get rid of the corner issues of foveon sensor Sony plans to add a lens on top of the sensor. This will correct the Light Ray angle and allow a perfect sharp image on the entire frame.
Really Sony...do it now!

Next great Fuji X-T1, X100T and lens firmware update.
Fuji keeps showing the world how to take care of customers by releasing the next major firmware update. I hope other companies will learn from it :)
X-T1 FIRMWARE (download here)
X-T1 firmware update: 1. Improvement of the flash function when “MECHANICAL+ELECTRONIC” is selected. An external non-TTL flash will fire when the “MECHANICAL+ELECTRONIC” is selected in the “SHUTTER TYPE” option of the SHOOTING MENU. If “S (Shutter-Priority)” or “M (Manual Exposure)” mode is selected, set the shutter speed to 1/180 sec. or slower. 2. Improvement of the Wi-Fi function when “FUJIFILM PC AutoSave” is used. The phenomenon is fixed that Wi-Fi communication with “FUJIFILM PC AutoSave” stops at the moment the LCD turns off 3. Improvement of the display for the “USB MODE” in the SET-UP menu
1) When “PC SHOOT FIXED” is selected, the warning of “IMAGES ARE NOT SAVED IN THE CARD” appears [screenshot]. 2) In case that “PC SHOOT FIXED” is selected in the “USB MODE” and the camera is not connected to a PC via a USB cable, you cannot turn off the camera when you turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF positon or remove the lens from the camera becasue the camera stays in the waiting mode for image transfer. With this upgrade, the message below will appear to confirm whether you stop the image transfer to the PC or not in such operations. If you press “OK” button, the camera will turn off without recording images.
X100T FIRMWARE (download here)
X100T firmware update: 1. Addition of the messages when “COVERSION LENS” setting is changed in the FUNCTION (Fn) SETTING. When an Fn button with “CONVERSION LENS” setting is pressed, one of the messages below appears in a cyclic manner in addition to the icons. 2. Improvement of flash function when “MECHANICAL+ELECTRONIC” is selected. An external flash will fire when the “MECHANICAL+ELECTRONIC” is selected in the “SHUTTER TYPE” option of the shooting menu. 3. Improvement of the viewfinder display. When the dual optical viewfinder/electronic range finder (ERF) display is used with the Digital Split Image, the white Focus frame appears in the center of the viewfinder. 4. Improvement of Focus Peaking display in the electronic viewfinder under a dark environment for easy focus setting.
IMPROVED OIS
Also, the OIS has been improved for the following lenses (download link): XF 10-24 , XF 18-55 , XF 18-135 and XF 55-200 .
