Nikon D600 Mockup via Outdoormac
The Nikon D600 is a highly anticipated FX format DSLR and, according to Nikon Rumors, it is coming soon – possibly on or around September 13, 2012. Shortly after the Nikon D800 was announced earlier this year, buzz of a more affordable (rumors are in the $1500-$2000 range) full frame camera started to grow. And, it looks like the official launch is almost upon us. [Read more…]
This is about as good as it gets in terms of leaked images. These are up close press images for the upcoming Sony NEX-5R, which is expect to officially launch next week as a replacement for the excellent Sony NEX-5N. [Read more…]
After some earlier leaks of the camera, Pentax got official with the new X-5 superzoom camera today. The Pentax X-5 sports a stabilized 26x optical zoom lens (22.3-580mm equivalent) and a 16MP BSI CMOS sensor. While its not quite the reach as the massive 40x zoom Olympus SP-820UZ announced today, that’s still a great wide angle to telephoto reach.
The X-5 also features a 3-inch tilting LCD, an electronic viewfinder and 1080/30p HD video capture. It can capture up to 10fps for a max of 30 images per sequence.
The X-5 is powered by four AA batteries and should be available in September 2012 for $279.95. You can order the Pentax X-5 here at B&H Photo.
Pentax has a new superzoom camera in the works – the X-5. These images leaked out ahead of the official unveiling, which is sure to happen soon. [Read more…]

As we close in on Photokina 2012, the certainty of which cameras are going to be announced soon continues to grow more certain. Lots of rumors have pointed to both the Sony NEX-5R and NEX-6 – and now it appears with have some genuine leaked images of these two new models. [Read more…]
This just makes sense. With all the HDSLR cameras that have been introduced over the past few years, I sort of expected to see more of this sooner (I think Canon’s 320EX is the only first-party unit so far). [Read more…]
The lastest rumors of Canon’s lower-priced full frame DSLR suggests a Canon EOS 6D badge and an October unveiling date. Additional rumors emphasize that the focus is on making the full frame camera not only more affordable but also a smaller overall package.
Previous rumors suggested this camera would essentially work out to be a full frame version of the Canon 7D with a 22MP CMOS sensor and a sub-$2000 price point.
All of these rumors appear to be leading up to yet another massive throwdown between Canon’s budget full frame shooter and the Nikon D600. Expect more coverage on the Canon 6D (or whatever it ends up being named) as we creep up on Photokina 2012 and PhotoPlus 2012.
