First up was the official announcement of the Nikon D4. Always interesting as it's Nikon’s flagship DSLR, the major differences are a 16 megapixel sensor and upgraded video. Read about it here and here.
Of more interest to me personally is the announcement of the AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 G. It features a brand new optical design and at $499 will probably be in my bag this year. Read more here.
Meanwhile, Fujifilm leaked the X-Pro 1, its mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. There are some forum posts here.
Of course this has been picked up by a lot of websites here and here. According to what I could find out the official release is schedule for next Tuesday.
My first impressions? Regarding the D4, “enthusiasts” (who should not care) will be disappointed. More cries of: “I’m switching.” Pros will be excited. The X-Pro 1 will sell like hot cakes, assuming it tests well.
