This is the new Panasonic LX100II

Nokishita leaked the images of the new Panasonic LX100II. The camera will be announced on August 23 just like the new Nikon FF mirrorless. I don’t think Panasonic will get much coverage on this…everybody will be writing about Nikon on that day!

Panasonic rumored to still release two new cameras this year: LX100II and G90

Olympus will definitely not announce any new MFT camera this year. But Panasonic is rumored to still have two new announcements:

– On August 23 they will announce the new LX100II camera
– Between Photokina and PhotoPlus they will also announce a new G90 MFT camera which will feature the same GH5s sensor

That most exciting new announcement for the Micro Four Thirds folk will happen sometimes between January and March 2019. Olympus will announce their new super duper high end camera!

To be released soon: 4 Nikon, 3 Canon, 2 Fuji, 1 Leica and 1 Ricoh camera

Nokishita unveiled a list of cameras registered in Asian countries. These camera will be announced soon. Note that Panasonic does not register their camera codes ahead of the announcement. And Sony does soemtimes register those codes only 1-2 weeks before the announcement. Here is the list:

What could possibly go wrong with the new Nikon FF mirrorless?

So far Nikon’s marketing department managed to make us very excited about the new Nikon FF mirrorless. Nikon also had some obivous advantage:

– They know their “enemy” Sony. They can target their cameras properly and attack Sonys weaks spot (like ergonomy)
– They can build a hype on the new mount
– They can grab some attention with their 58mm f/0,95 lens

But truth is we don’t know for sure what the camera specs are and what’s the pricing of cameras and lenses. We don’t have 100% reliable and final info about the new gear. So what could possibly still go wrong?

  1. Video might lags behind Sony’s offering
  2. Autofocus and Eye-AF might be behind Sony’s tech
  3. Building a new lens line up takes time and people may not have that patience
  4. Nikon might cripple the camera on some features and we still don’t know about this
  5. Nikon’s 58mm f/0,95 pricing might be $3,000+ making it a no-go for 99% of the future Nikon Z camera owners. And what’s the pint of having a huge mount for fast lenses if you can’t buy them?
  6. Nikon Z may fit a small crop MF sensor like the Fuji GFX, but that sensor is a) expensive b) lags behind the latest FF tech

Any other point you might want to add?

Nikon rumored to launch a new 58mm f/0.95 lens for the new Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7 cameras

Speed lovers embrace for impact…Nikon might be developing a 58mmf /0,95 lens that will be launched shortly after the two new Full Frame mirrorless cameras:

On August 23 Nikon will announce this:
Nikon Z6: high speed, low light model (24MP)
Nikon Z7: high-resolution model (45MP)
Z-Nikkor 24-70mm f/4
Z-Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Z-Nikkor 35mm f/1.8

A couple of months later Nikon will releases this:
Z-Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/0.95

I bet that 0,95 lens will not come for cheap…$3,000 or more???
