There are multiple announcements coming in May. Here is what has been confirmed to be announced:

Sony

• Sony ZV-E10II  (speculation says it uses same A6700 sensor)
• New APS-C “vlogger focused” zoom kit lens

Panasonic:

• New entry level camera (not a successor of any current model)

Leica:

• New D-LUX 8 (similar to the D-LUX7 with new sensor)

Sigma:

• New 24-70mm f/2.8 II for Sony E and Leica E (more compact and optically improved compared to the predecessor)

Nikon:

• Nikon Z6III (still unclear if it’s coming in May or early June)

Canon:

• Canon R5III (still unclear if it’s coming in May or early June)

Trusted sources confirmed that Panasonic will have a major announcement in May! The interesting tidbits is that this will be a completely “new kind of Lumix model”

The source has not yet provided any details about what this camera will be. But certainly do not expect a successor to a current model. We can only speculate that it could be a new fixed-lens camera, a Vlogger model, or perhaps a compact camera with an L FF mount. What do you wish for?

Fujirumors already reported weeks ago that we will soon get the new X-T50. And now we have this little leaked image of the camera. We don’t have the camera specs yet but it will be announced on May 16 along the new XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 lens.

Fujirumors reports that the GFX100100sII will be announced around May 20. For now we don’t have specs yet…althaugh it’s easy to guess it will use the usual 102MP sensor.

FR also spilled out what’s coming in 2024:

• Fuji X-T50 camera
• Fuji XF16-50mm F2.8-4.8 lens (internal zoom, aperture ring and no OIS)

The Canon R5II and R1 rumors have been floating around for a very long time now. But we finally (might) got an idea when these will be announced. On May 21-23 Canon should announce:

• R5II
• R1 (development only)
• 35mm f/1.4 L

As you know Canon actual registered two new cameras in China. Which means an announcement should happen within the next 3-4 months!

On March 29 Canon officially registered a new yet to be released model in China. We now have in total two models that till have to be announced. Both do have dual band support which means those are mid to high end models.

The codes are:

• DS126922 (registered on Feb 4)
  
• DS126928 (registered on March 29)
  

It usually takes up to 3 months until such a registered model gets officially announced. Which meansthat we could expect a new announcement in May and another one in late June.
