Every year the Japanese magazine Impress published their predictions on what product they expect the major camera manufacturers to introduce in the upcoming year (you can see their 2012 predictions here). Here is a recap of their 2013 prognosis (PDF file):
Brandon Remler published several sample images taken with the new Fujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 lens ($899.95) that was initially delayed and is expected to start shipping in early January, 2013.
