The Impossible Project had a press event yesterday and SanDisk had a new product countdown on their website.
Here are the announcements:
Samsung kept their promise for a March delivery and now the Samsung NX-10 camera is available in stock at Adorama and B&H:
This information was published in the Japanese trade journal Pen News Weekly quoting Photo Trade Express where reportedly an unnamed Canon officer said:
“Canon is proceeding with the development of a mirror-less interchangeable lens camera to compete against models launched by Panasonic, Olympus and Samsung.”
The Impossible Project will have a press conference in New York today. Expected are some announcements about the future of Polaroid.

According to Amazon Japan, Pentax 645D will start shipping on May 20th, 2010:
The price is ￥848,000 with tax (around $9370). Amazon Japan does not ship electronics to other countries (for now the 645D will be sold only in Japan). Some other sites, like JapanTrendShop.com will probably offer shipping outside Japan for a premium.
This is a recap of an interview with Olympus published in the Spanish DSLRmagazine:
The rumor mill has sloweed down significantly after PMA 2010. Many companies are preparing to release their best products before Photokina in September.
I did however received a rumor from oversee that Samsung is working on a full frame camera. No further details were given, but the announcement could happened at Photokina this year. Since Samsung declared that their DSLR line is dead (source), I would assume that the upcoming full frame camera will be an EVIL model. ALl this is nothing new and there has been multiple related reports in the past:
In an interview with AP, Olympus confirmed for the second time that they are not going to stop producing DSLR cameras (see previous post). They also confirmed that they are working on an E-3 replacement but did not specify any further details.
