More Fuji cameras expected before PMA

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.

In addition, PhotographyBay discovered two patent applications from Canon for sensor-based Image stabilization and dual image viewfinder.

Olympus is hiding something, literally

This screenshot was taken from the Olympus US website. I am really confused, because if Olympus releases a new E-P3, it will mean that the m4/3 line is on a less than 6 months life cycle (E-P2 was announced on November 5th 2009, E-P1 on June 16th 2009).

Panasonic ZS-7, ZR-3 and TS2 also official

Another set of previously rumored cameras just materialized. As I mentioned before, replacement of the LX3 camera is not expected at that point, however I do believe that a new G model may be introduced in the next week.
