Previously we reported that Ricoh may be coming out with its own Micro Four Thirds-like camera, and Sony appears to have its own version in the works, too. Samsung's NX-series was already announced last year, though it hasn't made its official debut. Here's a quick rundown on what online rumors are speculating.
Ricoh
Instead of November 12 as
mentioned earlier, Ricoh will be unveiling its mirrorless, interchangeable system on November 10. Specifications include a slide-in lens mount, APS-C-sized sensor and an accessory port for an electronic viewfinder.
Sony
According to camera blog 43rumors, Sony will be showing off its Micro Four Thirds equivalent on November 18. This model will feature full-HD video recording and is set to go against the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. This is somewhat in line with the specifications for the DSC-RX
we reported last month.
Samsung
Besides the NX series which houses an APS-C-sized sensor, Samsung is rumored to have a full-frame camera for the GX family. However, this won't be a dSLR like the GX20. Rather, it is touted to be a mirrorless offering like the NX cameras. If this is true, the Leica M9 will face some new competition.
