Now this is unexpected. Nikon patented two version of a new 24mm f/1.8 lens: One for a Full Frame mirrorless system camera and one for an APS-C mirrorless system camera. I really don’t think Nikon plans to launch two new systems in 2018. So my guess is that they are simply trying to play with all options. At the end we should expect a FF or APS-C system only.

The new Polaroid OneStep2 has been announed today. It’s available for $99 at BHphoto.
Explora reports:
Many of us were wishing for this day with little hope that it would ever come, but the Impossible Project has managed to bring back the original instant film name with its announcement today of Polaroid Originals. This rebranding was made possible through a years-long effort by the leaders of the Impossible Project and represents a major shift in things to come, including the release of a brand new instant film camera bearing the Polaroid name—the OneStep2, a brand new i-Type camera.
Makoto Azuma did send a pack of flowers into outer space (30.000meter altitude). And to record this he used a Fuji camera. The balloon exploded when it reached the outers space but they managed to save the camera with the recorderd video.
Sony announced the new Sony RX10m4 and is rumored to have another announcement in October for E-mount stufff.
The RX10m4 has BIG tech inside (see the presentation page) but it comes for a heavy price: $1,699 at BHphoto!
The A9 body
Today Sony will have a big announcement. UPDATE: But they dind’t announce the new A7III. Instead they announced the RX10m4.
Still those A7III specsshould be pretty accurate:
24MP sensor same as the A9
Same A9 body (which also means same battery)
6fps with mechanical shutter
ISO up to 51200 (expanded to ISO 204800)
693 phase detection AF (which is same as a9!!),
minimum focus sensitivity is EV-3,
4k 30p recording,
joystick
touchscreen

With the notable exception of the A9 Sony has been very quiet this year. Their short camera release cycle madness seems to be over. But luckily we will likely get a new camera at PhotoPlus (late October). SonyAlphaRumors got his hands on the possible camera specs:
24Mpx
6fps with mechanical shutter
ISO up to 51200 (expanded to ISO 204800)
693 phase detection AF (which is same as a9!!)
minimum focus sensitivity is EV-3
4k 30p recording
Not bad, and hopefully it will have the large A9 battery!
