Sony is rumored to announce a new 20-70mm compact G lens. Nobody before Sony ever tried to make a standard lens that starts at 20mm. This lens has the potential to become a hotseller among travel and landscape photographers.

On Damiens story it looks like I can see Lumix ambassador Sean (his youtube channel is here) and Robin Wong (his youtube channel here). So this might be a Panasonic announcement?
Sigma currently sells a 60-600mm lens for Nikon F and Canon EF (for about 2000 Dollars/Euro here on Amazon). According to a very reliable Japanese source Sigma will announce a new 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS lens in early 2023. This will be available for L and E-mount for sure. But this might also come for the Nikon Z-mount which would be a first for Sigma!
I also guess that it will have a new optical design and not be a copycat of the current existing lens.
There is yet no info about the pricing and exact release date, btu stay tuned for more!

AstrHori is about to release a 12mm f/2.8 fisheye Full Frame lens. Those are the specs:
CameraBeta reports:
It looks like Panasonic and DJI are jointly testing a new focusing method. The new system is said to utilize the LiDAR focus technology released with the Ronin 4D. If this technology can be introduced to Panasonic’s mirrorless camera, we can expect a significant improvement in video shooting. It is currently undergoing in-house testing and will be available in the near future.
If Panasonic manages to fix their autofocus issues we can really look forward to get some great cameras!

SAR reports that:
A9 III will be lent to select photographers during the FIFA world cup and possibly during the Asian winter games.
Multiple rumor sites are piecing together the little info we know about the possible new Canon R1 flagship model. What seems to be likely is that the camera will be announced in 2024 at earliest. So all rumored specs are only a wild guess for now:
But like I said, I would be really careful on those rumors. We already had some saying the camera would feature a new 100MP sensor and be announced in 2023….
