More details about two upcoming mirrorless cameras spilled out on the web:
1) The Olympus E-Pl7 will be announced the next few days. And it has the same E-M10 specs but comes without the built-in EVF from the OMD
2) The Fuji X200 will be announced late August right before Photokina. It will feature a 24MP X-trans (APS-C) sensor. It will also have a new fixed lens (no specs known yet).

Wow. New lens? I think the 35mm equivalent focal length defines this series of cameras, so I think it’s safe to assume that the “newness” of the lens comes from the aperture. Drooling already… (Though I’d actually like to see a 50mm eqv that has the same size as the current 23mm)
A new lens could be for sharpness, or faster auto focus, or wider aperture, etc.
Cool news! Have a feeling the one about the X100S “successor” x200 or X100T or whatever it will be called is true.. probably why some places have heavily discounted the X100S with accessories to just under $1k!
If true, I suppose no hurry to jump on those deals as the X100S across all retailers will sure to receive a major price drop soon to clear room for the new model.. not sure how much better the new X200 (or whatever it will be called) will be compared to current X100S, but the X100S is a very nice camera as is and for a significant slash in price, it may be worth picking up the soon to be older model, X100S, at a very discounted price.
hope it uses same accessories that I’ve invested in….
