			<link>http://www.personal-view.com/news/articles/sr3-new-honami-phone-with-23″-sensor-xenon-flash-and-manual-controls-like-rx100</link>
			<description><![CDATA[You know it already…the compact camera market is dramatically shrinking and the present and future of photography is smartphones with high photo quality. That’s where Sony is investing their development sources. And the next “honami” phone is supposed to come soon featuring also a new JPEG engine that we may will see in future Alpha and NEX cameras too. According to a new source the new “Sony H2″ phone “will use a 2/3″ sensor with xenon flash and Cyber-shot branding and manual controls like the RX100.”
P.S: Do not confuse the H2 phone with the H2 cybershot

PolygonSandwich blog owner (Click here) made the impossible possible and uses this lens to take pictures with the Panasonic GH2! That is definitely the biggest lens ever used for a digital mirrorless camera. You cna see image samples on his blog. There is also a how to guide if you want to do something like this too.

			<title>Panasonic GX2 coming in August. Zeiss Full Frame lenses for E-mount in 2014.</title>
			<link>http://www.personal-view.com/news/articles/panasonic-gx2-coming-in-august-zeiss-full-frame-lenses-for-emount-in-2014</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
In August and September we will have a new huge wave of mirrorless product announcements. We expect a new Olympus OMD camera with Sony’s new sensor (and on sensor phase detection AF). In late August Panasonic will announce the new GX2 (specs not out yet). And Sony will announce the new NEX-7 successor.
What is also very interesting is that Zeiss Lens Roadmap that hints a completely new line of lenses. The chance is very high that this will be the new Full Frame E-mount lenses coming along the Sony NEX-9 full frame camera. That stuff will be announced mid 2014 (probably right before Photokina). Start to save your money now because the prices of the lenses will be around $2,000  ]]></description>

The current GX1 sells out for $239 only at Adorama (Click here)
-
Trusted sources confirmed that the new GX1 successor will be announced in late August! It will be the only new MFT camera to be announced in autumn. I have been told it will be a high quality, very new designed camera. And one source expressively said…”43rumors people will like it for sure“.
I will leave ant speculation about what it will be to you. I am trying to convice the sources to spill out the specs…  
—
At the moment stores are clearing the GX1 stocks. Adorama sells the body for $239 both in Black (Click here) and Silver (Click here). It’s $244 at Amazon (Click here) And the X kit sells for $499 at Amazon (Click here). This makes it the most sold mirrorless camera of the weekend (here is the ranking). It’s 299 Euro in Germany on eBay.

			<title>Zeiss Full Frame lenses for NEX-FF will be expensive. But which one would you consider to buy?</title>
			<link>http://www.personal-view.com/news/articles/zeiss-full-frame-lenses-for-nexff-will-be-expensive-but-which-one-would-you-consider-to-buy</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
By mid 2014 Sony will launch the new NEX-9 Full Frame camera and there will be a couple of Zeiss Full Frame E-mount prime lenses will be announced too. I have no specs yet but sources told me that both, the camera and lenses will be expensive. I have no info yet about the exact price but I got the feeling a Zeiss prime lens could be priced at around $2000 (or a bit less depending on the lens). I took a look at the current Zeiss Full Frame range for DSLR. Le’ts asusme they will release lenses with similar specs. Which one would you consider to buy if they make it for the NEX-FF system?
