Next week Leica and Panasonic will announce their new lenses (28mm f/2.0 and 70-300mm L). But also Sigma and Sony are expected to have new product announcements before the CP+ show in Japan. Sony has registered 5 cameras in Asia so we can be near certain we will get some news about them. Sigma is likely to announce new lenses but I hope they will also give us an update on their Sigma FF camera!
Well known youtuber Michael The Maven claims that the Canon R5 has a Sensor Misalignment Issue that causes to not have 100% Sharp Images with Any Lens. Not sure what to think about this…maybe he is wrong, maybe he has a defect camera or maybe it’s really widespread?

2020 has been a horror year for the camera industry. COVDI-19. Luckily we can expect the market to recover a bit in 2021 .CIPA also published a forecast where they expect interchangeable lens shipments to increase 13% in 2021. Doesn’t sound big I know…but at least it will be the first year of sales increase after a decade.
Sigma a new external EVF in Korea. I wonder if this means they will announce a new camera that can take those attachable EVF…
