The Indonesian Communication Agency has a new listing on their website for a Ricoh WG-M1 camera. This new model will most likely replace the already discontinued Pentax Optio WG-1. It will be interesting to see if they will really change the name from Pentax to Ricoh. Via Digicame-info See the updated Photokina 2014 rumors roundup.
I received some information that Panasonic will announce a new GM2 MFT camera that will have a built-in EVF and a hot shoe (the previous GM1 model did not have a hot shoe). The company is also rumored to announce a new point and shoot/compact camera (fixed lens) with a 4/3 sensor inside.
I received some additional information on the upcoming Zeiss Loxia manual focus lenses specially designed for full frame mirrorless cameras – the first two models that will be announced at Photokina this year will be 35mm f/2 and 50mm f/2. Stay tuned for additional details.
Fujifilm officially announced the previously rumored X30 compact camera. The price of the X30 is $599.95 (available for pre-order in black and silver). Sample images taken with the X30 can be found here. Additional details:
Zeiss has a new Photokina teaser on their blog – it looks like they will be announcing several new lenses. The lens on the top left seems to be for a mirrorless camera, while the big lens on the lower left I think is the new Otus (see Photokina 2014 rumors roundup).
Update: the camera is now officially announced. Casio will soon announce a new EX-FR10 action camera with a detachable LCD screen that can be used as a remote control. Here are the specifications:
Another one bites the dust: the Fujifilm GF670 medium format rangefinder is now discontinued. The camera is currently listed as backordered at Adorama and B&H and the prices are already going up on Amazon and eBay.
