Big showdown coming soon at 5am London time. Sony and Panasonic will announce new products:
Sony will unveil the RX1R (no AA filter) and the RX100MII (hots show, tilting screen, wifi and 20MP Exmor sensor).
Panasonic will announce an updated 20mm f/1.7 II MFT lens.
If you are expecting major NEX or MFT news than wait til August. Plenty of new cameras and lenses coming by then!

I don´t see it as “New products”, more like upgrades……….
45 mins!
No viewfinder nor tiltable screen RX1 for $2800? Are you insane, Sony? Must learn from Sigma, quickly correcting absurd pricing of SD camera. RX1 for more than $1200 is not competitive against Fuji X100s as you MUST also buy the overpriced viewfinder to get an usable camera. RX100 too expensive too, but with a tilting screen is a slighty more reasonable deal now.
i think all of these companies are throwing all different kinds of permutations and combinations of this new technology out there because they dont know what the next generation of shooters will want.. its like they are throwing a bunch of $hit against the wall, and they will see what sticks.
i am sure that one day in our lifetime, we’ll see a compact FF with viewfinders and all the bells and whistles of those mammoth dDLRs we old people hate to carry around. they’ll start out at $3000, and in 5 years, we;ll be seeing them at the checkout displays at Walmart for $99…
This is hardly worth an exclamation point. It’s a big yawn. We’re all coming here, waiting for the same thing.
The NEX FF with interchangeable lens and EVF.
That’s all we want – why does Sony keep wasting our time?
