Canon is set to soon launch the new Canon EOS Ra. The small leaflet text you see on top has been leaked through Canon UK. If you shoot Astro this is the camera for you.  If you don’t like stars buy the new Sony A7rIV which is reported to eat them up :)

Fujirumors leaked the sketches of  the new X-PRO3. These  are the differences with  the previous X-PRO2 model:

• dual screen (small screen to see film simulations / EXIF data and main LCD screen) – styled like the Fujifilm SP-X here
• with the screen on the body, you will only see the little screens box showing film simulation/EXIF data
• open the screen, and it will only tilt down
• no D-Pad (as we told you here)
• On ISO dial, “H” has been replaced by “C”
• Drive button works as Delete button
• Play Button

It’s pretty clear what we should get from companies for the PhotoPlus  show in late October:

Leica SL2 (47MP L-mount camera)
Sony A9II (36MP E-mount camera)
Canon M200 (APS-C camera)
Fuji X-PRO3
Olympus E-M5III

Moreover those camera should start to  be  available for preorder:

Sigma FP
Zeiss ZX1

Of course there is always room for some surprise…
