A reader reported few days ago that there was not a single Samsung camera or lens on display at the 2016 CES show in Las Vegas.
There have been multiple reports in the past few months that Samsung is/will be pulling out of the camera business. There is still no official confirmation from the company.
A quick update on the upcoming Fuji announcement: in addition to the Fuji X70, X-Pro2, X-E2S cameras and XF 140-400mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens the company will announce also a new waterproof FinePix XP90 model (replacement for the current XP80).

In addition to my CES coverage here on PhotoRumors and NikonRumors, here are few other photo related products that got announced during the 2016 consumer electronics show (full list with pricing is available here and here):
The new Canon EOS 1DX MKII flagship DSLR camera is rumored to be announced in February/March timeframe. Shipment will start in April, 2016. The new camera is expected to have 4k video and costs around $5.999.
13 different Olympus M.Zuiko MFT lenses are currently $200 off at B&H.
Samsung announced many new gadgets at CES today, but in their presentation there was no word on any new cameras or lenses. Of course Nikon did not announce any acquisition/purchase of Samsung technologies or camera division either (in case somebody still believes this non-sense). So there you have it, I think Samsung is now done with their camera business. The CES show was pretty much their last chance to show a proof of life.
Update: a reader reported that Samsung did not have a single camera on display at CES.
New from Olympus at CES:
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO lens
Olympus Stylus Tough TG-870 camera
Additional information:
