We finally have some more details about the upcoming announcements:
Fuji:
Fuji will announce the new X-E2 on October 18. Fujirumors reports that “It will have the X-Trans sensor II of the X100S (16MP), a better LCD, Lens Modulation Optimizer and WiFi.“. There will be also a second Fuji camera but details are yet not known.
Panasonic:
In early October Panasonic will launch the world smallest mirrorless camera with interchangeable lens mount. It’s going to have the size of the Sony RX100 but with a large FT sensor inside. It will also get rid of the mechanical shutter to save some space. It uses a fully electronic shutter instead! As kit lens there will be a new 12-32mm pancake zoom.
Sounds like we will have some greta new cameras! The highlight will certainly be the new NEX-9 that will come with a new 28-70mmf /4.0 FE G as kit lens!

Smaller than a Pentax Q7? Impossible. Check your source again…
28-70/4 – that should (better) be a very compact lens.
I am really curios about the X-E2 though, any specs seen in your magic ball?
It occurred to me, this full-electronic shutter is potentially a big deal, like the EVF. That’s the last “moving part” in the optical path (aside from the tiltable EVFs), and if the quality turns out to be decent, could be the next trend we’re going to argue about all the time.
Of course, everyone is adding more and more image stabilization, so more and more moving parts there.
Any word on “global shutter” for video?
i don’t think it use Global Shutter but something come close & closet global shutter,
can you notice (rolling shutter) if it full spec had large frame buffer and destroy rolling shutter effect
and others good such as Shutter Shock (difficult to solve both IBIS & OIS) silent mode ,
ultra fast readout may sharp all curve and line
i wanna see that 🙂
Definitely not the last one
A) aperture is mechanical;
B) lens focus movements are mechanical.
STFU SONY NEX FF COMING!
Smallest MFT body with full electronic shutter? Is this real life?
He talks about a “large FT sensor” but I think it’s probably a typo and he means MFT
I hope panasonic also trying to create serious RX 100 competitor. current version is not good enough. and there is good market in this area
Please correct me, but I had a Yashica toy camera with rolling shutter. There is nothing complicated in it, except that to avoid the effect one needs very fast processing… In the Yashica anyway the scanning was sequential, from top to bottom, and from left to right, like a TV.
