OM Digital makes some bold statements….will they actually deliver?

OM Digital issued a press release to claim they now have the number 1 share in Japan among all different camera mount systems. All good so far…but it’ not like they had a role YET in this :) They also promised that at the CPplus show they will finally “talk about the future of OM-D”.. Now hopefully they can give us some confidence in the future of MFT. By the way Panasonic…what’s your plan with MFT?

Here is what we really know so far (by Peter Forsgård):

Sony now has a total of five new camera to be announced soon!

There will be fo sure the nw A7IV and a new RX. Not sure what the other cameras might be….probably some entry level RX and APS-C E-mount cameras?

Fuji has announced the new GFX100S, GF80/1.7, X-E4, XF70-300, XF27/2.8II

Fuji just announced five new products

  1. The new GFX100 medium format camera is available at BHphoto and Adorama.
  2. The new 80mm f/11.7 medium format lens is available at BHphoto and Adorama.
  3. The new X-E4 camera is available at BHphoto and Adorama.
  4. The new 70-300mm lens is available at BHphoto and Adorama.
  5. The new 27mm pancake is available at BHphoto and Adorama.

So the medium format Fuji is cheaper than the new Sony A1 :)  Of course I am comparing apple with oranges but years ago you could never have imagined this to become true!

A full coverage of reviews can be found on Fujirumors.

Here is DPreviewTV’s take on the new medium format camera:

Sony teases the launch of a camera that has been “never seen” !!!

Sony launched a teaser for a product launch on Jan 26: “The one never seen“. I guess it’s their new 8K camera….named A9III or A9x or whatever :)

Rumored Sony A9III specs:

  • Sony will launch a new High End camera in Q1 2021.
  • It will be named as an A9x series camera and not A7x (not sure if it’s “A9s” or “A9III”)
  • It has a new ~50 megapixel sensor
  • 8k30p video confirmed with no overheating. It’s still an “infant” 8k mode…meaning it’s not 8k60 which would be crazy and there will be limitations in the quality you can record internally.
  • Other specs similar to A7sIII (EVF, autofocus, and so forth)
  • At least $1,500 more expensive than the EOS-R5 (but price hasn’t be finalized yet) Expect something like $4,999.

The sources will try to give me some more hints the coming weeks…stay tuned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and chat with me live on Discord to not miss any rumors!
