New Fujifilm camera pictures leak, shooter scheduled for CES debut?

New Fujifilm camera pictures leak, shooter scheduled for CES debut?

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: CamerasFujiFilm

Well, well,Well, well, have a look at what the proverbial internet cat dragged in. The image above comes to you via Japanese forum, giving us a pretty good idea of what is allegedly Fujifilm's next interchangeable lens camera. Following in the footsteps of the retro-looking X10 and the X100, not much is known about the shooter's specs, but we'd venture that it probably isn't full-frame. Guess it won't take too long to find out, as the grapevine also muses its proper reveal will happen at CES. Too frothy to wait until then? Well, hop on past the break where we've conveniently culled an old mockup for ya.

Posted on Jan 03, 2012 by MG1

Samsung is extending its "highly popular" DualView point-and-shoot line with a WiFi cam, launching the DV300F today.

As for that WiFi connectivity, the DV300F can upload pics directly to sharing sites like Facebook and Picasa, videos to YouTube or the full contents of your card to a PC using the Auto PC Backup function -- there's also a microSD slot for local storage.

Olympus to create 'epoch-making' mirrorless camera, E-5 DSLR successor in development

Posted on Dec 21, 2011 by MG15

Filed in: CamerasOlympus

Beleaguered Olympus plans to develop a new mirrorless camera with an "epoch-making" viewfinder, and has already started work on a successor to the E-5 DSLR. Olympus's director of marketing, Haruo Ogawa, revealed in an interview with Digital Camera Magazine of Japan that the company is making the viewfinder a priority based on customer feedback, though the new cameras will retain compatibility with the current PEN Micro Four Thirds line. Ogawa also expressed a desire to move away from what he sees as the "feminine" styling of PEN models and create a camera for both men and women — while Westerners may not consider the classically-styled PEN line particularly feminine, in Japan the cameras hav...
