Nokishita spotted the FCC registration for what’s likely going to be the new GFX50S MKII. Nokishita writes the camera might be announced on August 27.

CanonWatch reports we might get a new 60mm f/1.0 RF lens. This is a very odd focal lengths but it guarantees you a depth of field of just 0.15m (with subject distance being 3m). Crazy right?

Fuji really used us to announce something like 456 cameras a year :)
So it’s surprising news to hear from Fujirumors that for this year we are already done with new X camera releases. I wonder why Fuji is doing so…

We have a more precise idea when the next two new mirrorless cameras will be announced:

1. The Panasonic GH5II will be announced on May 19
2. The Sony A6900 (name is a guess) will be announced the last week of May.

Here are the full GH5II specs (PDF below). This camera uses the same old sensor and it really looks like Panasonic intention was just to cut costs as much as it gets.

Panasonic long promised a GH5 successor. And I was hoping it would be a major step forward including a mandatory 8K video capability. Instead it looks like we will get a minor upgrade only :(

Nokishita leaked the specs of the new camera that will be named GH5II:

• Name: Panasonic “LUMIX DC-GH5M2”
• 20.33 million effective pixels
• 4K60p video
• 3.68 million dots 120fps compatible EVF
• DMW-BLK22 battery
• size 138.5x 98.1×87.4mm
• weight 647g (main unit only)
• US price It will cost $ 1697 ($ 2297 for the 12-60mm kit).

I think this is rather disappointing!
