Hasselblad registered a new X1DII at the bluetooth agency. The camera is likely to be announced within the next couple of months and I bet it will use the same sensor used on the Fuji GFX100s. Which means it has a 101 Megapixel Sony sensor that can do 4k30p.

Let’s hope the X1D will mantain it’s design because the GFX100s is going to be huge!

#FujiGFX100s vs the #SonyA7rIII. The Fuji is more than twice the size of the Sony. The camera will be launched in early 2019 and feature the new Sony 101MP medium format sensor. I am curious to see if the Image Quality will be visibly better than the Sony. What's sure is that the Fuji costs 3 times as much as the Sony :) – #fuji #fujifilm #fujigfx #sonyimages #sonyalphasclub #sonyalpha #sonyphotography #sonyphotogallery #sonyalpharumors #sonyalphagear #SonyPhotoGallery #SonyAlphasClub #SonyMirrorless #sonyalphaphotos #sony #sonyalphauniverse #sonyalphaclub #photogear #photography #photographer #mirrorless

Nokishita updated their Canon database info and it now lists a new 26 Megapixel EOS-R camera with the code “K424”. This camera might be announced on February 14 but this isn’t yet a 100% confirmed info.

UPDATE: CanonWatch debunked that rumor. Seems like there is no other 26M Eos-R camera coming. So far only a new EOS-RP will be launched…

Canon released the full year financial results. The on thing that matters is this: Canon has decided to “Accelerate development of new mirrorless products“. And from what our sources told us the next Canon mirrorless announcement will happen on February 14! Stay tuned!

This is going to be a busy month. We have multiple announcements ahead of us. Here is the recap:

Panasonic on Feb 1: S cameras and lenses
Sony in mid February: E-mount lenses (135mm f/1.8 GM?) and maybe a new RX0II
Canon in mid February: RF f/2.8 zooms and a new EOS-RP camera?
Fuji on February 14: X-T30
Nikon in mid February: 58mm f/0,95 Z
