What we have here is another Aperture 3 book:
The book is expected to be released on February 15, 2010. Expect the new version of Aperture to be announced during the scheduled Apple event on January 27, 2010.
See the previous Aperture 3 report here.
A new version of iPhoto is also expected (part of iLife 2010).
Translation of the book description after the break:
In the next 2-3 weeks Ricoh is expected to announce their new CX3 model.
The Ricox CX3 camera will be the replacement of the Ricoh CX2 and it will add HD video capabilities. The price of the CX3 is expected to be around 350€.
This is a picture of the current Ricoh CX2 mode – the new model should look very similar:

I would not even mention the latest release of Samsung point and shoot cameras here, but one line caught my eye on AmateurPhotographer website: “Samsung invents cameras to cut through fog”:
The ST60 and ST70 (pictured) also feature digital effects such as DeFog Clear/Fog Lifting which, the firm claims, ‘cuts through the haze to take clear photos’.
That’s right, Samsung found a way to bring something new in this otherwise boring batch of compact cameras (they have different model names in the US: TL105 and TL110).
FYI, Samsung’s CEO is aiming for a 15% compact cameras market share (source).

Update: it seems that this is a typo that has been reported already in the past.
This rumor is brought to you directly by Canon – go to this URL:
This is a site that shows cameras compatibility with Windows XP SP3. On the bottom of he page, click on “klik hier om alle modellen modellen te zien” which means click here to see all models and scroll down to the EOS models:
It is good to know that the new Canon EOS 2000D and the Canon EOS 6000D will be compatible with Windows XP 🙂
The previously rumored K-mount adapter for Samsung NX10 already surfaced online (source: PentaxForum):
This adapter is expected not to support AF.
And if you are wondering whether Leica lenses could be mounted on the Samsung NX10 with an adapter, the answer from petavoxel is no:
“The quoted flange distance of the new NX mount is 25.5mm. The Leica M bayonet is 27.8mm. That sounds like good news, right? A whole 2.3mm to spare? Unfortunately, No. The tabs of the M bayonet extend behindthe flange by almost 7mm, and are 43.5mm in diameter. Thus they would collide with the inner throat of the NX mount. Doesn’t look like an M-mount adapter is going to happen. (Or, not one that can focus at infinity, anyway).”
Not clear whether the new Aperture will be called "3" or "X"
Rumors are already circulating that besides the expected Apple iSlate tablet device, we may also see a new version of Aperture on January 27th. Aperture 2 was released back in February, 2008 and is due for an update.
There was this rumor few months ago about a new Aperture 3.0 book that was quickly removed from Amazon:
“The book is listed as “Apple Aperture X (3) – UNDER NDA: A Workflow Guide for Digital Photographers,” and the 320-page paperback from Focal Press has a release date of May 26, 2010, perhaps suggesting a timeframe for the forthcoming software’s release. The forthcoming book’s ISBN number is 978-0240521787.”
Panasonic Singapore’s website (http://www.panasonic.com.sg/lumixg/) had this banner for a new site launch which will probably correspond to a new Panasonic Lumix camera being release at the same time (in 15 days, which means February 1st). The text under the “Register now” button was “Be one of the 1st to see our new range of camera products”.
At the same time Panasonic Lumix G1 camera has been labeled as “discontinued”:
How about those lenses? Here is the Panasonic MicroFourthThirds lens roadmap – three lenses are scheduled for 2010:
Big dsicussion over at NikonRumors about this picture of Bob Krist. Apparently he is “shooting another one of those jobs that I can’t share with you (until the client uses the pictures) and it’s a gig that I can’t even show you the gear I’m using (that’s proprietary too).”
The question remains, is the camera a Nikon or a Sony?
