The popular Japanese Magazine “Nippon Camera” published their product roadmap for 2013. It’s based on their own sources and speculations. This is their mirrorless camera list:
Canon: New EOS-Me in July
Nikon: New Nikon 2 in August
Sony: NEX-3n and NEX-7r in March-April. NEX-9 in August
Olympus: E-P5 in April. E-M7 in August.
Panasonic: GF7 in March, G7 in August, GX2 and GH5 by end of the year.
Ricoh: GR Digital V
Fuji: X-M1 in April,X-PRO 2 in July and X-E2 in August.
Nice roadmap but I think only half of the things are correct. NEX-9 is coming in 2014, NEX-7r is named NEX-7n according to my sources. GH5 sounds a bit weird and X-M2 is also unlikely to come 🙂

hmmm…Olympus OM-D EM-7 …AND…E-7? in the fall?
Hello Admin,
Just 2 questions 🙂
1. What about Samsung? Did you receive any news/new rumor for NX30 or NX-R?
2. What is Fuji X-M1?
X_M1 may be an entry level camera. And I have no new info about Samsung.
Thanks for your feedback.
Too bad that there are no new information of NX30 or NX-R… You have to get new sources 😀
Yep, Samsung is a small player in the digital camera market and this also means less sources 🙁
If Canon introduces an EOS-Me in July, does that mean they’ll introduce an EOS-Me2 in the fall?
I doubt an X-Pro2 will be out this year, and have even more reservations that an X-M1 would be released next quarter. If anything, the X-S1 may see an update. X-Pro2, next year. Also can not see more X-mount cameras released than XF glass.
Why does GH5 sound weird? Just curious.
Well, there is no possible that Sigma will made any new camera in this year. They now showed Dp3M so, they have ended fully Merrill line. Everyone who know habits of Sigma, dosn’t belive in this speculation. DP4 may only be real in late 2014, especially DPZ (Dp Zoom).
There is lots of obstacles to produce sharp corner to corner telecentric zoom 18-50 mm lens (without mount) which will have spectacular image quality like that from DP2M. Even is Sigma planing to make a new camera lots of people count that it will be a DPI (interchangable) but, it will for 100% will not be Leica M mount, because Merill sensor needs highly telecentric lens ~ 1.00, (Leica M mount is 0.65) so it probably be sigma mount (old or new).
New Sigma camera (Dp4 or DpI) will come with very anticipated EVF optional or in camera, but for sure it will not be before november 2014.
a little birdie rumor site says panasonic is very very eager to put out their new sensors…

What is the XM2 you are talking about ? I see a XM-1 and a XE-2 but no XM-2
Fuji X-M1 could be an X-E1 without the electronice viewfinder.
NEX 9 release or announce this year? That will be big.
