Pentax EVIL camera maybe this year?

AmateurPhotographer seems to think that Pentax is working on EVIL camera:

“Pentax engineers are continuing to pursue the possibility of launching a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, as the firm points to an ‘exciting’ few months ahead.”

From AP’s recent interview with Pentax UK product co-ordinator Stephen Sanderson:

“It’s quite clear that we don’t want to be seen as the same as everyone else. We would go down a different route. We are looking to grow. We want to grow. It’s going to be an exciting year. I think everybody will see a change in Pentax.”

Update: there was another interview with a Pentax executive few days ago. The key point:

  • Professional Pentax camera (higher than the K-7 model) will be released.
  • Refresh of current model(s) is expected this year (2010).

Sony NEX in German magazine

I just received this tip from a reader:

“More pictures from the Sony NEX are in the new German magazine DigitalPHOTO 606/2010 on pages 43 and 114. On page 114 are 3 different lenses (1 big telezoom?) and 3 bodies (blue, red and silver) to see.”

Are those pictures available online anywhere?

Sony EVIL update (NEX3 & NEX5)

First, some Sony EVIL price rumors from Korea:

  • Sony NEX3+lens for 600,000 KRW (=US$ 536)
  • Sony NEX5+lens for  700,000 KRW (=US$ 625)

The lens could be the 18-55mm or the 16mm lens. I expect prices in the US to be lower.
