1. Nikon D400:-

So after the release the Nikon D300 is now completing its 8th (or 80th) birthday, but till date no update from Nikon arrived yet, why? we don’t know… The users always need the up-gradation their machine, Nikon must pay attention towards the arrival of Nikon D400 successor.

2. Sony DSC R2

Sony DSC R1 was announced in November, 2006 and it was the first compact camera with APS-C sensor and 10MP resolution inside,  the camera was loaded with CZ T* 11x (28-300mm f2.8-4) optical zoom lens, Bionz processor for faster AF and better noise management, SuperSteadyShot and Dynamic Range Optimizer technology, higher-res & faster refesh EVF & LCD and titanium petal lens hood.

Since after more than 8 years, Sony didn’t updated the camera and R1 production is now completely stopped. Earlier there was expectation that Sony DSC R2 will replace it, but we have no further information about its announcement till date. We hope Sony will further take its responsibility to release it.

3. Canon G17

Canon G16 was announced in August, 2013.  It was the Canon’s newest flagship compact camera at that time.

In general Canon upgrades its compact camera every year, Delay of two years is sufficient for its rivals to completely wipe out its potential customers with a better product.

However, It is expected that Canon PowerShot G17 will come with “ultra bright lens” with maximum aperture of f/1.2-2  depends on selected focal length, it also feature a 1-inch-type image sensor made by Sony (possibly of RX100 M4) and a 7x optical zoom lens that will offer a 35mm focal length equivalent of 24-168mm. The maximum aperture of the lens will come with f/1.2-2 and it depends on the selected focal length. The upcoming compact camera will feature DIGIC 6+ image processor.

4. Nikon 8000

Nikon announced the Coolpix P7800, in September, 2013 and it is one of its top orders of compact camera series. It replaced the flagship premium compact camera P7700 of 2012. It has almost similar specification compare to its predecessor except the newly inclusion of an electronic viewfinder, which has 921,000 dots and covers 100% of the frame.

Since from past few months we are getting lots of rumors related to the replacement of Nikon P7800 with P8000, which is definitely a need for the users who is still attach with Nikon P7800.

It is expected that the successor Nikon P8000 will come with 20.2MP sensor, maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 sec and it will use 1″ Aptina sensor, supported by Expeed 3 imaging processor. It will have 24- 120mm equivalent f/2.0 – 3.0 lens with 3 ED and 1 ASP glass elements.

The specification is based on rumors, so don’t take it as confirmation, but we do expect that the exact specifications of the Nikon P8000 will be nearer to it.

5. Nikon Coolpix A II

Nikon finally stopped the production of its first APS-C Sensor based compact camera, the coolpix A after 2 years of announcement. Since it was announced on March 5, 2013.

At the time of its discontinuity, there was expectation that the company will announce its successor Nikon Coolpix A II very soon. But till date we faced lots of rumors related to its announcement but all are totally baseless.

So, we hope the company will put the upgraded Coolpix A II in the hand of the users so that they will shoot more impressive images with better experience compare to Nikon Coolpix A.

It is expected that Nikon Coolpix A II will come with a 24 MP DX format sensor, built without low-pass filter and new image processor.

There is expectation that the AF system of the camera will be similar to Nikon Coolpix A , however the AF speed will increase due to new image processor and advance AF algorithm.

The Canon 100D is a lightweight APS-C format digital SLR camera with an 18MP CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 5 image processor.

Hence, it already exists near about two and half years, so there is definitely a requirement for its up gradation is needed to compete with its different rivals.

Since according to the previous rumor, the upcoming successor of Canon 100D namely 150D was expected to be announced between July and August 2015.But till date we have no any information about its delay. Since there is lots of expectation that the upcoming camera Canon 150D will come with improved feature compares to Canon EOS 100D.
