I am trying to collect the exact announcement dates for all photo companies. I now learned that Ricoh-Pentax, Nikon, Panasonic, Canon, Sony and Fuji will have product announcements exactly between October 8 and October 18. Six announcements within 10 days. And while I am still not 100% certain there could be an Olympus and Samsung announcement too!
Ricoh-Pentax and Nikon will announce new DSLR stuff.
Canon the new EOS-M2 (and likely new lenses)
Panasonic the new ultra compact G, the 42,5mm Nocticron and the 12-32mm compact zoom.
Olympus the XZ-3 (not sure about the name yet)
Samsung the leaked NEX300M
Fuji likely a new X-E2
Sony the new NEX-9, the NEX-7R and four new FE (FullFrame E-mount Lenses)
Sound slike PhotoPlus show in new York will become as famous as the Photokina show in Koeln!!! 🙂

I do believe the Fujifilm X30 is expected to be announced this fall as well.
Big showing for sony hope they deliver
Samsung should learn from Sony and Fuji and present some interesting new camera, instead of this dumb update to nx300 (or the even dumber galaxy nx…).
By pushing the nx30, with improved evf and new sensor to 2014, samsung will loose a lot of potential customers and even a lot of existing customers, imo.
Samsung already “lost” me. Sold 4 primes. I think if Samsung comes up with a good body (good evf and big buffer) and bright weather sealed zooms I might buy again but now I just am fed up with the idea of making all the Samsung line “white soap boxes” in line with their tablets. They started innovately and then they ended up listening the sales department and forgot photography.
Im impressed by Sony’s roadmap.
Sony is killing it.
I hope the EOS-M2 has an attachable viewfinder (or better yet a built in one).
Looks like Sony will leave everyone behind w/NEX & FF if the price is right. Fuji a close second. and I’ve always had all Nikon. That’s about to change after shooting rx1002. I’d shoot out of a coke can to get the right IQ, could care less about brands.
Guessing the Nikon announcement will just be the stupid D610 and nothing real? Or is there something we don’t know…
