Tony & Chelsea Northrup:
Canon has been the #1 camera manufacturer for decades, and they beat Nikon, Sony, Fuji, and all the others with leading-edge innovation. That seems to have changed in the last few years…but Chelsea has a theory that they’re just charging up for the ultimate mirrorless camera. Is it true?
Now that would be a funny(?!?) thing if true: After all the months long rumors and chatter about a Canon FF mirrorless launch at this years Photokina we might DON?T get such a camera at all. According to CanonWatch the company will announce a new APS-C mirrorless camera in September.
The new FF mirrorless would see it’s debut in May 2019 at earliest. Also Nikon’s FF mirrorless is supposed to be on market in Q2 2019 only. This gives Sony quiet some time to further improve their FE system: By adding new lenses, launching the A6700 and A7sIII without having to fear the competition.
Fujirumors shared the details about the Fuji Lens Roadmap:
“GF 35mm F2.8 (coming 2018)
GF 20-36mm F3.5-4.5 (in 2018 this or the GF 100-200)
GF 100-200mm F4.5-5.6 (in 2018 this or the GF 20-36)
GF 80mm F1.4 (not in 2018 – personally I’d not expect it before 2020)
Tilt Shift lens (coming 2018/2019)”

Here are the latest MFT rumors with some bad news:
Overall it doens’t seem like we will get a lot of new stuff at Photokina…maybe a couple of new lenses? :(
This is the first leaked image of the new Leica C-LUX compact camera. It will be announced soon.

Nokishita is spoiling us what’s coming next from Leica: A new FF SL mirrorless and a new C-LUX compact. The additional info I have is that both are made in collaboration with Panasonic. The new FF SL mirrorless has lots of Panasonic electronics inside while the new C-LUX should be a near identical copy of one of the current Panasonic compacts.
Nokishita) spotted another Fuji camera registration. We now have a total of three Fuji camera codes. According to Fujirumors these cameras will be the new X-T3, GFX 50R and XF10.
