A new entry level interchangeable mirrorless camera (X-M1?) will be announced on June 25th. The new X camera will be smaller and cheaper than the X-E1 model and it will have a tiltable LCD screen and no viewfinder. Fujifilm is also expected to announce new lenses: the XF 27mm f/2.8 pancake lens and maybe even a new, cheaper XF 16-50 zoom lens to go with the new X camera. A new firmware updated for the X-Pro1 and X-E1 will also be released, probably with updates for the new lenses.
