Panasonic is going to announce a new Full Frame mirrorless System camera on September 25 at 12:30 Berlin time. We don’t have a lot of info about this camera yet but this is what 43rumors has learned:

• It has a new Panasonic designed mount
• The sensor is made by Panasonic and it’s not “borrowed” from current Sony FF sensors
• The camera will start shipping out in March 2019
• The camera is said to have high video quality

I wonder…will Olympus join this system? And what lenses will be on the roadmap?

 I have word that Ricoh/Pentax is also going to announce “something”, and I have good word on that. It’s not going to be some lame announcement either, so keep your eye on this site for specifics that I’m able to give in the very near future here.

Image on top shows the current best seller list at Amazon US (note, it changes hourly). EOS-M50 sells well despite lack of lenses in their lineup.

Some of you may remember Gary Lineker’s famous quote:

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.

Well, I think that after all that Sony E and Nikon Z buzz Canon will stand as the real big winner when they will announce the new FF mirrorless on September 5. I mean it seriously, I saw the impressive sales of their EOS-M50 even tough there are literally only three lenses you can buy for this camera. Their brutal force is their brand name and therefore I think:

Photography is a simple game, at the end Canon always win.

UDPATE: This is not about being pro or against Canon. This post is only to say that now that we have more or less three similar FF camera systems with Canon-Nikon-Sony most people will choose for the brand that has the most glorious history in the past 20 years.

The super detailed and full specification list of the upcoming new Canon EOS R FF mirrorless can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1. Here are some WOW specs:

5,655 AF points!!!
EV-6

Autofocus seems to be the most terrific part of this camera! Other aspects seem to be on par with current Sony and Nikon offerings: Like 4k30p, ISO 100-40,000. What’s missing is a second card slot and no on sensor stabilization.
