Photokina Countdown 2010

[bwcolor]

Tuesday, September 21st is the start date.

What new products are you hoping to see introduced?

Leaving 'wishing' aside, what new products will be introduced?


I'm hoping for a new mirrorless, interchangeable lens, full frame EVIL Leica camera system and an early view of the Sony NEX-7.

What will be introduced? A Canon and/or Nikon mirrorless camera system(s).

Just saw this: http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n100920.html Things are looking up!

I hope other camera makers will follow Fuji and make classic-ish digital cameras!

Now that's what I've been wanting. Excellent. Looks fabulous. Thanks bwcolor.

I am hoping for a new Pentax DSLR with sports action-worthy AFocus. If not, The X100 will have to be my consolation prize 🙂.

 

[bwcolor]

Previous leaks suggest that the Fuji will have very fast autofocus, but not the sports focal length.

Olympus E-P3!!!!

 

[Vince Lupo]

That Fuji is really nice -- but why oh why didn't they make it with interchangeable lenses? Or am I wrong about this???

I think this is the thing with many of these cameras -- they're almost there, but not quite there.

This looks like THE DREAM CAMERA.

This looks like THE DREAM CAMERA.

Only if you can change lenses! (at least for me)

 

[surfnsnow]

This camera looks great. Any announcement regarding price?

Also, the dpreview article lists AF as the only kind of focus. Will it be possible to manually preset focus?

The sound you just heard was my throwing any plans to buy a GF-1 or NX100 out the window. You go, Fuji! This is what the X-1 should have been - a real camera with DV.

Anyone want to see the introduction of non-Fuji products?

Wow. Looks good. And you can switch from an optical viewfinder to an EVF. That seems to be a cool feature. But that "production plans are not finalized" is a bit disappointing.

Wow, Fuji made the digital konica hexar many have been wanting. This, is very good news, as long as it isn't vaporware!

I'm curious about the rumoured Nikon EVIL camera, and the possible Leica R "solution." However, my curiosity is tempered by the facts that 1) any offering from Nikon won't be all that different than current products made by Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, etc., and 2) a Leica EVIL camera system will be priced through the roof (my guess is around the same price as a new M8.2).

The Fuji camera looks spectacular - pending image and optical review of course. If it's priced as high as people are speculating, I won't be able to justify purchasing it - but I'm happy for those who can!

What about the Leica Design Preview? Any news from this event?

 

[patois]

A digital rangefinder for my Voigtlander lenses would make me super happy.

Leica just announced a solid titanium M9 and companion lens at the Design Preview -- no comment.

That's all? :bang:

Please Fuji. Make this X100 work and take my money.
