I recently registered FujiRumors.net and SonyCameraRumors.com domains and they now point to the corresponding Fuji and Sony sections of this blog for an easy access (in case you are interested only in a particular brand). I already separated PentaxRumors.com into a separate blog. Stay tuned – there are some more “exciting” news coming soon.
For some odd reason Samsung is already listed/registered to be part of the 2016 Photokina show that will take place in September (thanks for the tip Tinus). Maybe they registered before they decided to kill their camera business or maybe they really have something new to announce? See the latest Samsung news and rumors.

In a recent AP interview, Dirk Jesper (Product Manager for Professional Products and Product Planning at Nikon Europe) called the speculation that Nikon bought Samsung’s NX camera business a “hoax” and added that there was never even a talk about it:
Shortly after Nikon announced their first KeyMission 360 action camera (pricing not yet available), GoPro also confirmed that their own 360º camera is in development. It seems that Samsung is also working on one:
JK Imaging (I think) quietly introduced a new Kodak Astro Zoom AZ901 camera with a 90x optical zoom (FIY: the Nikon Coolpix P900 camera has “only” 83x zoom). This is all the information we have so far:
Today I received confirmations on the dates for the upcoming Fuji and Olympus announcements: Fuji will have an announcement on January 15th, expected: Fuji X70, X-Pro2, X-E2S, XP90 cameras and XF 140-400mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens Olympus will have an announcement on January 27th, expected: new Olympus PEN-F digital camera

A quick update on the upcoming Fuji announcement: in addition to the Fuji X70, X-Pro2, X-E2S cameras and XF 140-400mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens the company will announce also a new waterproof FinePix XP90 model (replacement for the current XP80). Via Digicame-info
