AP reported that Fujifilm will be cutting their compact camera line by 50% and is planing to launch more mirrorless system cameras this fiscal year (probably a smaller, entry level X version). The information was given by Hiroshi Tanaka, general manager of Fuji’s Optical Device and Electronic Imaging Products Division in a recent interview with Nikkei newspaper.

Another rumor from digicame-info: Canon is going to announce a new EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM wide angle lens for their EOS M mirrorless camera. The filter size will probably be 55mm. If Canon is serious about their new EOS M system, they have to offer a wide choice of prime and zoom lenses in a short period of time and also release a new, faster camera. Until then, Fuji, Sony and Olympus will rule the mirrorless market.
Panasonic is rumored to announce a new, ultra compact Micro Four Thirds camera by the end of the year. The camera is expected to be even smaller than the already very compact GF3 model.
