No doubt that the day will come that Canon will silently kill the EF-M lineup and introduce new APS-C cameras with RF mount. Unconfirmed (and for now not reliable) rumors say the new R7 might be announced in late 2022 along two RF-S lenses. Here are the specs:

• 32mp APS-C BSI Image Sensor
• 20fps
• DIGIC X
• 1x CFExpress & 1x SD Card Slots
• 4K @ 60fps
• 1080p @ 240 fps
• C-Log 3
• The latest hot shoe
• A combination of ergonomics from the EOS R6 and EOS R5
• Announcement in August 2022

Canon is busy with the development of new lenses. A new patent reported by CanonWatch shows these three new RF zooms:

• RF 16-28mm f/2.8
• RF 15-28mm f/2.8-4
• RF 15-28mm f/4-5.6 IS

And we may get a new 35mm f/1.2 RF lens this summer too (Soruce: CanonWatch).

In his latest LUMIX live-session, Sean Robinson did place another easter egg. While picking up a card reader that “accidentally” fell to the ground, he showed a printing on the back of his t-shirt: “S1CK A.F.”

Likely a hint for a new camera with phase detection AF? Sean did a similar “eater egg” action before the GH6 launch. And I guess this time he is doing it for a new S camera!

With quite an odd an unexpected choice Fuji is set to release two new X-H cameras:

• Fujifilm X-H2S 26MP stacked sensor camera
• Fujifilm X-H2 40MP high resolution camera

The enow 26MP stacked sensor is actually patented by Fuji (article here).

There are three Sigma lenses coming soon (in both E and L-mount versions):

• 50mm f/1.2
• 50mm f/2.0
• 16-28mm f/2.8

The specs of the zoom lens have been shared by Digicameinfo:

• 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary
  ・ Lens configuration: 16 elements in 11 groups
  ・ Shortest shooting distance: 25cm
  ・ Maximum shooting magnification: 1: 5.6
  ・ Number of aperture blades: 9 (circular aperture)
  ・ Filter diameter: 72mm
  ・ Size : Φ77.2 x 100.6mm (E mount version is 102.6mm)
  ・ Weight: 450g
  ・ Mount: L mount ・ Sony E mount

Fujirumors reports:

The X-H line has not been canceled. On the contrary, Fuji will make it stronger than ever by releasing two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras, one with a new 40MP sensor and the other with a new 26MP sensor. We also recently reported that the name of one of the two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras will be Fujifilm X-H2s.

Within the next 4-6 weeks we should get the following three new Full Frame E-mount lenses:

1. Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II
2. Sigma 50mm f/1.2 ART
3. Sigma 50mm f/2.0 contemporary
