Egami (translation here) spotted a new lens patent that describes that could be possibly fit on the next G1X successor. The 18-70mm f/2.8-6.0. But while we can never trust patents to show us the real final specs of a product the rumors about the new Fuji X20 seems to be much more solid. According to Fujirumors the X20 specs are the following:
– New EXR CMOS 2/3 14MP
– Fujinon 24-120mm F1.8-2.8
– continuous shooting up to 10 frames per second
– Full HD videos 1080*1920
– maximum ISO 12.800
– 460.000 pixel screen and optical viewfinder
– expected launch: January
And as you know there is also a new X100 successor on the horizon…

The Canon lens would indicate a larger sensor for the G1X successor to full APS-C. Is it not possible this is for the EOS-M?
Except slight although useful (hello, 24mm!) range extension, this X20 does not look like much of improvement at all. Still not quite up to RX100, but at least will beat everything else in its class. Should have been at least f/1.4 at wide end.
