• Amateurphotographer hints again that Olympus may produce mirrorless cameras only in the future.

• Quote: "Demand for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras is poised to overtake DSLR sales within two years, according to Samsung".

• Pentax is back to profits (PDF):

"In the beginning of June we shipped the medium-format digital SLR (645D) for professional and advanced amateur use. Priced at about 900,000 yen apiece, we released several hundred in one go, and it sold so well we finally managed to get back orders. As a result, the camera business broke even in the first quarter."

• To be released: new Phase One 35mm lens.

• Minox will unveil a new 3D camera - the Minox PX3D:
