Oh gosh! Not only Olympus (Silver E-M1) but also Fuji will launch a Silver edition camera (X-T1) at Photokina! Pity they both don’t come out with any other highlight than this 🙁 Isnt’ Photokina meant to be THE place for big announcements?

Fuji and Olympus saving money – fewer releases now – so stretching things with big deal releases of Silver ! 🙂
Like Fuji with the X30 – after several years – same sensor and same processor – just took the viewfinder from the X-E2 and put it in the X30 and some software updates – and yes made it less retro – thereby taking the strongest selling point out of it –
When a manufacturer is stuck on ideas and technology then always a good thing to hype things up with a different color 🙂 To me they should offer silver and all black from day one of release – or do what Pentax has – Many color combination choices –
Sony particularly seems to be leading with new sensors and processors – Panasonic close behind with 4k technology
Fuji seems stuck with their Xtrans sensor – might have to start buying sensors from Sony 🙂 well Nikon has done that like the Nikon D7000
It’s not like I can blame the manufacturers. The market is both saturated and shrinking, frequent product iterations only drain resources – manufacturers should focus on models that “work” for them. Sony is trying hard but it’s not like they have an idea what’s going to actually sell.
I assume you are joking about buying sensors from Sony, since all the XTrans sensors are already Sony sensors with a special color filter array.
Are they really? I thought Fuji were at the forefront of sensor tech. This does surprise me.
And by several years you mean 1.5? The big improvement of the X30 are all the small improvements.
I appreciate that I do not have to eat the accessories, but including leather items in a product makes it unsuitable for vegetarians like myself. Pity really because I rather like the look of it…
