Silhouette of the new Nikon FF mirrorless

We are now getting closer ot a very busy announcement period. Here is the recap of what to expect:

August 23:
– Panasonic will announce the new LX100II
– Nikon will announce the new FF mirrorless
– DJI will announce the new Mavic PRO

September 4/5:
– Canon will announce a new mirrorless camera (maybe Full Frame?)

August-September (unknown date):
– Fuji will announce the X-T3 and the GFX-50R

September-October (unknown date):
– Sony is rumored to announce two cameras: A6700 and A7sIII
– Leica should announce a new SL camera

Olympus will not announce any new camera this year. Expect a high end Olympus MFT camera to be announced in February-March!

Not only Canon and Nikon but also Fuji has some big announcements coming soon. They will announce the new GFX rangefinder styled camera and the new new X-T3. About the latter Fujrumors reports:

I have been told by a trusted source (thanks), that the Fujifilm X-T3 will cost less than the Fujifilm X-T2 at it’s current official price tag (without rebates), hence less than $1,599.

Well that’s a nice thing to hear!

I can confirm via my own sources what CanonWatch also reported yesterday: I am now 100% sure Canon will announce a new mirrorless camera on September 4/5 (depending on where you live it will be Sept 4 or Sept 5).

I got no info about the specs of this camera…all I have been told is that it’s a big “mirrorless camera launch event”. Easy to guess that Canon will launch their answer to the Nikon FF mirrorless…

Dilireba leaked these new images of the Nikon Full Frame mirrorless that will be announced on August 23. The camera surely doesn’t have a classic look…do you like it? Join our Nikon FF mirrorless facebook group to discuss about this!

UPDATE: It’s also the first time we can see the top LCD from the Nikon

This is the first leaked image that show the TOP-LCD from the new Nikon FF mirrorless – #nikonmirrorless #nikonfullframemirrorless #nikoncamera #nikonfullframecamera #nikongear #nikon #nikkor #mirrorlesscamera #mirrorlessgeeks #cameragear #camerageek #mirrorlessgeeks #nikonannouncement #camerasetup

Fujirumors reports:

I hear (thanks) that the Fujifilm X-T3 will shoot at 20fps in continuous high (CH), and even faster in crop mode.

If true this would make it a mini-Sony A9 for less than half of the price! Photokina is going to be exciting for Fuji lovers:)

A source sent us these first images of the new Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0 lens. UPDATE: The lens comes for Canon and Nikon and the full press release can be found here (via Nokishita).

Olympus will skip this years Photokina and not announce any new camera. But we know from very reliable sources that Olympus will announce a new high-end model camera in very early 2019 (probably in February).

This will be Olympus most advanced camera ever. Even more high-end than the E-M1II. What’s intriguing is that with Canon and Nikon FF mirrorless coming Olympus will have to really offer something exceptional to grab some attention!
