Kenko to unveil their interchangeable lenses digital camera tomorrow (C-mount) *UPDATED*

Update: Here is diagram of the new Kenko C-mount camera system and its compatibility with other products (click on image for larger view) - it seems that Keno will release a C-mount adapter for existing Tokina lenses:

This camera was supposed to be shown at Photokina, but the prototype got lost... DCWatch now reports that this mirrorless camera will be announced tomorrow (February 1st). The camera will have a C-mount (closed-circuit television cameras mount).

The rest of the specs:

  • 6mm f/1.4 standard lens
  • 14Mpix sensor of unknown size BUT should be 1/2.3″ for which 6mm real focal corresponds to 35mm on full frame camera, hence the sensor should be the widely-spread 1/2,3″ 14+ Mpix sensor from Sony
  • No RAWs, only JPEGs
  • Magnesium-alloy body
  • Available in February 2011
  • MSRP: ¥30,000 ≈ $350
