Rumor: Expect the Fuji X-Pro2 In Early 2015

Fuji fans anxious for the arrival of the long-awaited X-Pro2 might only have a few more months left to wait. New rumors suggest that the followup to the popular X-Pro1 will arrive in early 2015.

Leaked: Sony’s Next Smartphone ‘Lens Camera’ Will Let You Swap E-Mount Lenses

You get a leak! And you get a leak! Everybody gets a leak!

It looks like somebody (or a few people) in the know at Sony were feeling very generous this morning because we woke up to not one, but two separate sources of leaked photos showing a very exciting new product from Sony: the next QX, smartphone-mounted 'lens camera.'

And it's exciting because, in this case, the term 'lens camera' doesn't really work anymore. This isn't a whole camera contained in a lens... it's more of a smartphone-attachable E-Mount that will let you swap out lenses!

Rumor: More Nikon D750 Specs Leaked

We’ve known for a few weeks that a Nikon full frame camera is in the works. In our previous coverage we’ve shared some of the initial specs and a reported confirmation of the name, but today we have a few more thanks to a screenshot acquired by Nikon Rumors.

All-New List of Canon 7D Mark II Specs Surface, Given 90% Confidence

It seems the major rumor sites were duped about the upcoming Canon 7D replacement. According to a new Canon Rumors report published last night, previously reported specs for the Mark II were incorrect. Fortunately, it seems they've gotten their hands on some new specs that they're "90% confident" are accurate this time around.

This is the First Leaked Photo of the Sony a5100, and It Comes with a Full List of Specs

Okay, maybe leaked is a misnomer here -- some publications have even come out and said they believe Sony (and others) are leaking stuff on purpose -- but regardless, we just got our first peek at the followup to Sony's a5000 mirrorless camera courtesy of Digicaminfo.

And what's more, that first peek comes with a full list of specs. If you're the type that likes to keep some things a mystery, we suggest you don't read on.

Check Out the Latest Rumored Specs for the Upcoming Canon 7D Mark II

It's safe at this point to say that a Canon 7D replacement is definitely on the way, and will almost certainly make its debut at Photokina. But whereas there's plenty of leaked info to corroborate this fact, very little more about the camera has come to light.

Still, some info is bound to come out and the spec list below is the most accurate information that has slipped through the few cracks left in Canon's anti-rumor shield.

The Long-Awaited Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II May Show Its Face at Photokina

The Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens first debuted in 1998... 1998! In November that'll be sixteen years on the market without a replacement, and while lenses aren't typically replaced as frequently as camera bodies, hope that Canon would manufacture a 'sequel' to the trusty old lens still runs strong.

Well, those hopeful hearts now have something to rejoice about, because the Canon Rumors has received a concrete tip that the 100-400mm followup will indeed be arriving alongside the 7D Mark II just in time for Photokina in September.

Rumor: Canon’s 5D Mark IV Might Feature 4K Video

One of the hopes people had for the Nikon D810 was that it would feature 4K video, but even though Nikon made it obvious in the press materials that this camera is a capable video machine, the rumored 4K capability never came to fruition.

You can understand, then, why we'll suggest you take this next rumor with a grain of salt. Nothing like getting our hopes up only to have them dashed.

Latest iPhone 6 Rumors: Larger Version to Feature OIS, Smaller Will Not

We've already seen that Apple plans to take some serious photographic steps forward when it comes to the its newest mobile operating system, iOS 8, but we have yet to find out what the Cupertino giant has up its sleeve hardware wise.

Of course, even if we haven't heard from Apple, that doesn't mean we don't have some idea what's on the way. As the iPhone 6's inevitable announcement draws ever nearer, vague hardware rumors are beginning to solidify.

Rumor: Canon Has a 1D X Mark II and 5D Mark IV in the Works for Early 2015

If you've been following the most recent rumors regarding the long-awaited Canon APS-C flagship 7D Mark II, you know that the latest news is that Canon has some fancy new sensor technology in the works, and that it's supposed to re-establish Canon as an imaging leader.

None of the rumor sites have been able to pin down what this sensor tech actually is, but its existence seems a near certainty; and now, it looks like the 7D won't be the only release to benefit from it. Canon may be refreshing the 5D and 1D lines as well.

Rumor: Trusted Source Says Fuji’s X-Pro2 Will Use an APS-C Sensor, Not Full-Frame

One of Fuji Rumors' "trusted" Japanese sources is correcting previous speculation that Fuji is planning to go full-frame with the X-Pro2, which is great news for people who have invested in Fuji lenses, but bad news for anybody who has been holding out hope that the company would give larger sensors a try (well, there's still the medium format rumors...).

Rumor: Canon 7D Mark II Announcement at Photokina, Prototypes at FIFA World Cup

Almost five years in the making, the followup to Canon's 7D still hasn't become more than a rumor, making many wonder if a Mark II (or any new APS-C flagship) will ever arrive. Well, according to Canon Watch, the answer to that question is yes. And the answer to the following question 'when?' is Photokina, with some potential appearances at this year's FIFA World Cup.

Fuji Rumored to Be Working on a Medium Format Mirrorless Camera

Is mirrorless medium format the next frontier? If you pay attention to the rumor mill, it sure seems like it is. Less than two months after rumors of a "completely different" Sony MF camera surfaced, Fuji is taking its turn as new and anonymous sources come forward to share bits and pieces of a potential mirrorless MF camera.

Yet Another Rumor Suggests that Fuji Will be Going Full-Frame Mirrorless Soon

Murmurings that Fujifilm will be one of the next companies to introduce a full-frame mirrorless camera aren't new. The X200 is supposedly going to be full-frame and Fuji's executives themselves confirmed that they "would like to challenge" the full-frame market when they spoke to DPReview at CP+.

Pilling on to all this talk is a new piece of info sent to Fuji Rumors that seems to indicate the X200 isn't the only camera Fuji might be packing a full-frame sensor into. According to the tipster -- who is a new source, so extra salt on this one -- the X-Pro2 is also going to be a full-frame camera.
