Yes, Hasselblad is coming with a new baby

By PR admin | Published: January 29, 2010

I have been following this rumor for a while.

There is new Hasselblad teaser – a new baby is coming:

click to enlarge

All key dealers in Central Europe were instructed by Hasselblad about the new camera system due next week. Hasselblad sees a gap between DSLR and MF segments and it will address it next week. The new camera will be cheaper and as compact as the Leica s2.

Read more about the new campaign in DSLRmagazine (English translation). A better “human” translation can be found here.

Fuji HS10 will steal the show (PMA) with its CMOS sensor

By PR admin | Published: January 28, 2010

The previously rumored Fuji Micro s10EXR will actually be the already mentioned Fuji HS10 model.

I think this will be the most exciting product at PMA this year. We are talking about CMOS, back-illuminated sensor here folks! No m4/3 mount as I mention already.

Some more Fuji HS10 details:

  • 10MP sensor
  • Dual image stabilization
  • 3″ tilt LCD
  • 30x wide angle zoom: 24-720mm
  • 1080p HD video with stereo sound
  • 10fps shooting
  • Panorama mode
  • Very low price! (I don’t know how much is it going to be)

I really think this camera will be great based on those specs. What do you guys think?

Hasselblad will reveal their secret in 4 days. I got some rumors today that besides a new website, they will also introduce “an interesting new option” which will be their answer to the Leica S2. Don’t have other details at that point.

Olympus E-P3 (PEN 3)

By PR admin | Published: January 28, 2010

Yes, based on the information I received this teaser is for the upcoming Olympus E-P3. It will be a cheaper version compared to previous models. Don’t expect an announcement during PMA (maybe they will show a prototype?) – the official release is scheduled for Photokina or shortly before. After the Olympus E-P3 is announced, the E-P1 will be stopped from production.

By PR admin | Published: January 27, 2010

The previously rumored Fuji cameras are the foreign versions of some of the models that will be released in the US. For example, the s2500 will be the s2550 in the US, the s1730 will be the s1800 and the s1600 and jx530 may not be released in the US.

But there will be more:

  • Fuji will also announce the HS-10 camera (made in Indonesia, all other cameras will be made in China).
  • Another model will be the Fuji F-80 that will have a touchscreen and EXR sensor.
  • Fuji z300 (with touchscreen) will also be introduced.
  • Most of the cameras are expected to have Fujinon lenses.

The official announcement is expected on February 2nd, 2010.
