Fuji isn’t done yet! After the X-PRO2, X-T2 and GFX they will announce one more new camera before Christmas! All we know so far is that this is a X-series camera (Source: Fujirumors).

And Sony is also rumored to announce something E-mount in 2-3 weeks. But it won’t be a new A7 or the long time rumored A9 model. but rather something else (Source: SonyAlphaRumors).

I guess the product announcements from Fuji and Sony will be the last ones of this year.

A Vietnamese store listed the Fuji GFX with kit lens for a 189.900.000 VND which is around $8,500. I am pretty sure this isn’t the real final price. All we know from Fuji is that Body and Lens will indeed sell for less than $10,000.

Fuji patented the design of a new 19-150mm f/2.8 Fujinon Cine lens for Super35mm (APS-C). It’s yet not clear if that’s a pure Cine lens for PL mount cameras or if they will also make an X-mount version.
