This will be the first of the many late summer Camera/Lens announcements: Panasonic might announce new S lenses on August 14

We are going to get a ton of new cameras and lenses in August/September! And now we know where all will start:

L-rumors.com reports:

I just got word that there might be an official Panasonic event on August 14. No details yet about WHAT will be announced. But there is a chance we might get the 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens…

After the Panasonic announcement we will have Leica and Sony announcements in August. With Nikon-Canon announcements happening in September too!

You fools! Why spend $10,000 on the Fuji GFX when you can have a Xiaomi phone with 108 megapixels? :)

Today Dpreview published the full Fuji GFX100 review. And of course it scores great! Dp writes:

The GFX 100 is a highly specialized tool, and yet one that Fujifilm has worked on to make as flexible and capable as possible. It offers very high resolution, supported by good glass and image stabilization to let you exploit that resolution far beyond the studio. It’s not an all-rounder like some of the high-res full-frame mirrorless cameras can be, but it does things you wouldn’t expect of a 100MP medium format camera.

So you are ready to get a $10,000 loan from you bank to buy the new GFX100? Don’t do it! Xiaomi just teased the launch of a much cheapera new Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 model with a new Samsung 108 megapixel sensor!

Why spend $10,000 on great Fuji mirrorless when you can have shitty cramped 108 Megapixel phone?

Seriously folks, I am all in foor a nice Megapixel race but I bet that 108MP on such a small phone sensor is worse than having 12 large Megapixel on my iPhone :)

Three new E-mount cameras to be announced very soon!

It was weird to see Sony not announce any new cameras back at Photokina 2018. Nikon, Canon, Panasonic had launched their first FF mirrorless cameras and Sony reacted with zero products. I guess they went back to the table to discuss what they could do to fight back. And finally we are going to see their answer:

Nokishita reports that Sony will launch three new E-mount cameras very soon. SonyAlpharumors reports that the first two cameras will be announced in late August with another camera announcement likely to follow in September/October.

There is no info about WHAT they might announce: But these two cameras would despereitely be needed: A7sIII and A6700!
