Sony is likely to “skip” the Photokina event, Nikon too, Canon may bring the EOS-M5 in November and Fuji will show a medium format camera prototype. That’s all we can expect from those companies at Photokina.

The good news is that both Micro Four Thirds companies, Panasonic and Olympus will definitely bring a LOT of exciting new stuff! So let’s check the updated list of cameras and lenses from both companies:

Panasonic GH5: 20MP, 4K without crop, 4:2:2 10bits recording on SD card! Ships in January 2017
Olympus E-M1II: New Olympus sensor (20MP?), 4K, dual SD card slot, handheld high-resolution mode (48MP?).
Panasonic G80: No specs on that yet. But it has 4K recording.
Olympus E-PL8: leaked many months ago it could be finally introduced at Photokina
Olympus 25mm f/1.2
Olympus 12-10mm f/4.0 PRO
Olympus 30mm f/3.5 macro

Still unclear what lens Panasonic will introduce….

The Russian public agency Novacert registered a long list of new Canon cameras. And according to Nokishita these two cameras should mirrorless sytem cameras:

So one camera has Bluetooth and WiFi and the other not. Usually after that kind of registration it takes 1-2 months time max until these will be officially announced.

Prospohos posted images of what he says is a new CCD M-mount camera. I have no idea if those images are Fake or Real and if that’s a Leica or a Voigtlander M-mount camera. But for sure it looks cool and I want it to be real :)

Canonrumors reports that the EOS-M3 successor will be announced some times after Photokina but still before Christmas. Those are the rumored details:

It will be a replacement to the EOS M3, but it won’t be called “M4”. Say hello to the M5.
It will go slightly up market from the EOS M3.
Don’t expect big ergonomic changes.
It will be APS-C.
A new lens will be announced alongside it, an EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS is a good bet.
We cannot confirm DPAF or 4K.

Nice…

There is a new Leica camera about to be announced soon. The new camera got officially registered at the Indonesian agency Postel with the code “3656”. We can expect the camera to be officially unveiled at Photokina.
