LX series listed in 2010 Lumix line-up (credit: CNet)
DSLRmagazine (in English) mentioned that there will be two waves of announcements from Panasonic in the next few months – one in mid-July and another one right before Photokina. A LX 3 replacement is on the list of expected cameras.
Update: this is a PS job, rumor is busted.
According to this forum post the new Samsung pancake NX 20mm f/2 lens should be coming soon and it should look like this:
This is the update I got from a reader regarding upcoming Tamron lenses:
First we will see APS-C mirrorless lenses for Sony NEX and Samsung NX. Tamron is designing 2 compact zoom and one macro:
Those lenses will be similar, only the NEX version will be longer.
Panasonic is expected to have an announcement in mid-July.
One possibility for Panasonic could be a new GH2 camera with more advanced video features and maybe even global shutter which if true would eliminate the “jello effect”.
DSLR magazine wrote on their facebook wall that Tamron is exploring the possibility of manufacturing lenses for the Micro Four Thirds system:
Translation:
“Finally! Tamron begins to explore the possibility of manufacturing lenses for Micro Four Thirds system. What can I say? … I told you so!”
The only problem with this rumor is that Sony is a major shareholder of Tamron and is questionable whether they will support any m4/3 lens development (Sony owns 11.08% of Tamron).
I mentioned that last week – here is the sneak peak video of the new HDR software from NIK:

Focusnumerique reported on twitter that Pentax 645D will be coming to Europe with a price tag of 10,000 EUR. This is not really a surprise since the 645D was listed on Pentax UK website and showed up on a Polish online store few weeks ago. There are still no plans to introduce the medium format camera to the US.
Amazon Japan is already selling the Pentax 645D – shipping in 2-3 weeks.
Over a month ago Terry White gave a hint on his blog that a Adobe Lightroom might be coming to the iPad. Yesterday John Nack (Principal Product Manager, Adobe Photoshop) indicated on his blog that Lightroom for the iPad is not going to be an easy task to accomplish:
“Building a great iPad app for mobile photo review, editing, and sharing is (presently) tougher than one might think, but customer desire is very clear.”
