We will have a double announcement tomorrow! Ricoh will announce “something” at 15:00 Berlin time (Source: PR) while Fuji will announce the new 23mm f/1.4 lens (Source: Fujirumors). The lens will be priced at 929 Euro and ship in October!
P.S.: Olympus will announce the X-M1 on September 10.

Olympus will announce X-M1? You probably meant to say E-M1.
This is confusing! Xm1 xa1 xe1 xpro1 em5 em1..they should start naming the camera s like corolla, Stella, truxton.. u get what I mean..
Wonder what the Ricoh announcement will be?
They go out of photo business and sell Pentax to LG.
A new name change. Welcome to Ricax!
I’ve waited patiently for Sigma to update the DP1M to the DP3M’s spec i.e, dual core, better processing but no news on that front has me looking around. I’d love an E-M1 but for what I do, I just can’t justify the price (it is a “pro” camera though after all). I like the X100s but I’m not being hobbled by that lens, it’s not good enough.
The Ricoh GR really impressed me but… I want 24MP for a CFA minus the AA filter. Be interesting to see what they’ve cooked up that’s for sure!
Tom, it’s great to see that nothing is good enough for you and your talents.
@John, well an updated DP1 would be more than good enough for me, that’s what I’m waiting for.
The E-M1 looks like an amazing camera but I’m not a pro so can’t justify the cost. I do a lot of climbing so I’m also looking at ditching my E-620 for a compact hence the X100s but… for a fixed prime, it’s pretty flawed. If the Ricoh GR had an AA filter I’d buy it today but I for one don’t find aliasing a particularly pleasant image artefact. Ditching the filter, for me, is an unfortunate fad at the moment.
The GR does feel like a great camera in use, hence I’m interested in tomorrow’s announcement. Basically, I’m sure that we all carefully consider which cameras we buy?
The price is up in the Zeiss territory. Not a good move.
Let’s see in which territory the performance will be 🙂
It could be a Pentax Ricoh announcement rather than a Ricoh Ricoh announcement…
