The earliest mirrorless models came from Olympus and Panasonic, whose Micro Four Thirds partnership means lenses from one company can be used on cameras from the other. At Photokina, Olympus announced its new Pen E-PL5 and Panasonic its new Lumix GH3 cameras. That early advantage was on display as premium lensmaker Schneider Kreuznach announced its plans for Micro Four Thirds lenses .
Fujifilm's Finepix X line. The company's earlier X-Pro1 has restored some of this camera maker's relevance, and this year at Photokina, Fujifilm repackaged the innards of the X-Pro1 in the more compact X-E1. It uses an APS-C sensor, too, but at $1,400 it's not cheap.

Samsung's NX line. The Korean company was mostly quiet about this line at Photokina, but it did show off a new 12-24mm f4-5.6 lens and fast 45mm f1.8 lens to go along with models like its newest NX210 . Samsung's line, too, use an APS-C sensor.

Pentax's Q line. Photokina marked the debut of the second camera in this series, the Q10. The Q family uses a much smaller, 1/2.3"-size sensor measuring about 4.6x6.2mm that's typically found in point-and-shoot cameras.


The Nikon 1 line. At Photokina, this Japanese company announced the Nikon 1 J2 . Like its forebears, it's got a 13.2x8.8mm image sensor that's larger only than the Pentax Q line.
