In the next two weeks I will be getting both cameras and will be able to do my own comparison, stay tuned.
Leica Camera AG mentioned on their twitter account that they “have a couple of nice things coming in 2011”. The compact camera line was completely refreshed last year, so any new products must be X, M, or S related. Of course they could just be talking about a social media promotion/contest. So far Leica AG has not announced any new products in 2011.
I received the full size renderings for the Leica Mirrorless APS-C camera concept. The name is now changed to MC (for M-Compact).

The Fuji X100 camera is now shipping in Japan. Flickr member Nokton was one of the first lucky owners who also posted several pictures comparing the size of the Fiji X100 to Leica M3. Follow Nokton’s flickr stream for more X100 samples in the next few days. I am also covering the latest Fuji X100 developments on PhotoRumors.com.
Currently Amazon is taking Fuji X100 pre-orders, US shipments should start in the next 1-3 weeks.
