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.

Today Sony officially registered a new camera in China. It has the code “WW293541” and 5.1GHz/2.4GHz wireless network & Bluetooth support. I am 100% sure this is for the new ZV-E10II. Which means announcement will happen within the next 2-3 months!
