By PR admin | Published: October 21, 2015

Samsung-NX-rumors
Another website asiae.co.kr | Google translation reports that Samsung will be closing their camera business unit. They have already stopped any camera/lens development and there will be no more new products announced.

Samsung-shutting-down-their-camera-business
Asiae is an accurate and popular business newspaper in S. Korea.

Last month I reported about another website that reported the exact same thing and Samsung were very quick to deny it.

Many Samsung NX cameras already have up to $500 rebates in the US.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO lens

By PR admin | Published: October 20, 2015

Olympus-M.ZUIKO-DIGITAL-ED-300mm-f4-IS-PRO-lens
Digicame-info reports that the upcoming Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm f/4 PRO lens will have image stabilization (IS). The lens was announced back in February without the IS part (see prototype picture). The official release date should be coming soon – maybe in the next few months. The Russian government website Novocert lists also Sigma as part of their online filing, which is really interesting – maybe Sigma was involved in the IS development of this lens?

Here is the new lens registration at Novocert:

Fuji X-Pro2 camera rumors
Bogus rumors of a new Fuji X-Pro 2 camera have been floating online for years and I have chosen not to report them here. Today digicame-info reported the first reliable info I’ve seen that a new Fuji X-Pro 2 camera is coming soon (probably in early 2016) – a Chinese government website already has a listing for the Wi-Fi capabilities of the new camera (see screenshot above).
