Olympus and Panasonic are warming up their engines for the MFT gear late summer announcements!

Olympus had a terrible year. Due the move of the factory from China to Vietnam they weren’t able to announce many new products. And Panasonic was busy pushing their new S Full frame cameras. But everything should go back to normal very soon:

Both companies are rumored to launch new MFT cameras and MFT lenses in late summer.

We have yet no solid rumors but some solid guesses yes: I bet we will get the E-M5III and some fast primes. And from Panasonic the GH6?

Watch out Nikon and Canon! Sony has registered two new camera codes and the new 35mm f/1.8 FE

Between Photokina 2018 and now Nikon and Canon had their big time with many new camera and lens releases for their newborn mirrorless systems. But now Sony is definitely ging to answer big! As reported by SonyAlphaRumors Sony has now registered two new cameras and a new lens:

  • WW245025 (probably a new RX or Cybershot camera)
  • WW716189 (probably a new very High End E-mount camera which I believe could be the A9II)
  • Sony 35mm f/1.8 FE lens (SEL35F18F).

And there is likely to be more new lenses and probably even more camera to come this autumn!

 

For Sony E-mount folks: Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 pricing info this week and new Sigma 35mm f/1.2 FE in July!
