Sony NEX-F3 and Alpha A37 photos leak online!
Several photos that appear to show a secret Sony presentation have surfaced at http://www.yangcanggih.com which depict samples of the both the new NEX-F3 and the Alpha A37!
The NEX-F3 is quite a departure from the outgoing model and features a built in flash and a 180 degree swivel screen allowing the user to take self portraits, rumors of a limited edition "facebook camwhore" version with "duck face" detection have yet to be confirmed.
The camera could well have a touchscreen as well judging from the fingerprints!

I've taken quite a lot of photos recently but haven't gotten around to sharing any, I have been trying to use my Samyang 8mm fisheye so it doesn't become a novelty item that sits in the bottom of the bag constantly, it was almost like a personal challenge and I have been very pleased with the results! I have also used my Voigtlander APO Lanthar 90mm (the first Cosina version) and have been very pleased with the images from that little beauty! I will write about both of them soon.
I'm sure you can guess which lens this is from:
More to come soon!
PS: The reviews are appearing for the new Sigma 19mm and 30mm lenses that every one said would be crap because of the unambitious technical specifications, remember back in January when I said "no doubt they are designs that were relatively cheap and easy to make but there's nothing to say they won't give stunning IQ" and "Sigma make some really fantastic lenses so while I agree these don't look earth shatteringly impressive I have confidence they will combine good value with strong image quality so I'll be looking forward to some reviews and samples!"??
I hate to say I told you so! (No I don't, I love it!)

Panasonic GF5 images leaked
The web is now awash with several images of the Panasonic GF5 (the number 4 is considered unlucky in Japan hence the skip to 5 just like many camera ranges in the past such as the Canon PowerShot g3 - g5) and it looks to be a relatively modest evolution of the GF3 externally apart from what looks like a better hand grip, on the inside the changes remain to be seen, according to some rumours the camera will have noise performance equal to the Canon 7D.....which isn't really a boasting point!

Samsung NX20 Revealed !
Focus media have published an article about the upcoming Samsung NX20 mirrorless camera and it looks like a pretty decent piece of kit! The hand grip is larger than we have seen on previous cameras making the camera more reminiscent of the companies short lived DSLR range.
I've always liked the look of Samsung's mirrorless cameras and they have a really decent lens range compared to some rivals but the sensors are often seen as the weak link in the system.
The spec list is fairly impressive and there are some great features such as Wi-Fi. I know it will be a great little camera in daytime use but how will it measure up on low light situations?
