The Fuji Guys continued their tradition with two new videos on the recently announced Fuji X-M1 mirrorless camera:
A recent job listing on Hasselblad's website includes some hints that the company, who recently introduced the Lunar mirrorless camera to the market, is planning to announce two more compact and one DSLR cameras by the end of the year:
"You will be responsible for the worldwide sales of consumer-oriented line of Hasselblad products starting with a mirrorless Lunar and followed already this year with 2 compact cameras and a DSLR.
Another job listing has a similar description:
In addition to "SLR EOS M", "PowerShot" and "IXUS", Canon France has two interesting placeholders on their website: one is labeled as "Compact 24x36", the second is called "Compact APS".

Definitely an interesting development a day after Sony introduced their RX1R compact full frame camera.
The first images and specifications of the soon to be announced Canon EOS 70D DLSR camera are already out:
