Fujirumors got the possible specs of the X200 that will be announced the second half of this year:

– the 24MP sensor of the X-Pro2 (and therefore also faster AF)
– A new bright 28mm lens (also the Fujifilm X70 features a 28mm lens)
– and enhanced hybrid VF with better EVF refresh rate
– Digital converter 35/50
– Tiltscreen

Overall Fuji is going to bring us some major surprise by end 2016. X200, X-T2 and maybe the first medium format interchangeable system! That would be a big WOW!

Digicameinfo leaked the first pictures of the G7xII and Sx720 cameras. The G7xII has the same Sony RX100m4 sensor.

There is one more Canon announcement coming next week. They will announce a new G7XII and SX720 compact camera (and a new 80D DSLR).  These are the specs leaked by Digicameinfo:

Nikon is likely going to try to compete against the Sony RX series by launching new high-end compact can fixed lens cameras at the CP+ show (End of February). Nikonrumors reports there will be three versions of such cameras (unclear what the sensor size will be). These will be the equivalent focal lengths:

• Wide angle: 18-50mm f/1.8-2.8
• Normal range: 24-80mm f/1.8-2.8
• Superzoom: 24-500mm f/2.8-5.6

I am pretty sure the 24-500mm version has a 1 inch sensor. If it’s APS-C I will become a priest :)

Fuji lovers will get a new 200mm f/2.0 lens at Photokina (September 2016). There is yet no word about the price of the lens but let’s hope it costs than the Canon 200mm f/2.0 lens ($5,700 at BH).

Well it looks like those Sony China teaser where not just a joke! On Wednesday Sony is meeting journalists for a press meeting. There is yet no official word on the invitation about “new products”. but I guess the chances stay good on Wednesday (or after the event on Thursday) Sony will show us the new A6100. There is also word on SAR that there may be a second huge camera surprise…
