I just received this picture of the Olympus OM-D. I don’t have the original source, nor do I know if this image is authentic (maybe the reader who sent it can provide me with some more details by using this contact form).
Samsung is expected to release the NX200 RS camera for the South Korean market this Saturday. The specs will be identical to the NX200 model ($899). The new camera will feature a silver top plate that is suppose to give it a “retro look”.
Here is a picture of the NX200 RS next to the “old” NX200:

Today Conurus (in a partnership with Metabones) announced a new smart adapter that will allow electronic aperture control of Canon EF lenses from a Sony NEX camera:
DxOMark just released their test results for the Fuji X10 camera ($599.95) and it seems that it outperforms both the Nikon P7100 ($499.95) and Canon G12 ($419.95). It will be interesting to see how the X10 will compare to the new G1X:
If you are a Fuji X100 user (like me), the first thing you will notice once you pick up the X-Pro 1 is the bigger LCD screen (3.0-inch RGBW LCD monitor, approx. 1,230,000 dots).
When I tried the autofocus of the X-Pro 1 the first day, I was not convinced that it’s faster than then the X100. I went back to the Fuji booth the next day and did some side-by-side comparison with the X100 that was on display right next to the X-Pro 1. I am now convinced that the AF in the X-Pro 1 is faster, I was even able to focus in some tricky lighting conditions:
Fuji did not make any improvements to the manual focus in the X-Pro 1 – there is still not focus confirmation or “focus peaking” (like in the Sony NEX or Ricoh GXR systems), which could be problematic if you are planning on using the camera with Leica M-mount lenses.
