Yet again another Canon FF mirrorless rumor: Photokina release and 24 MP sensor

The Canon FF mirrorless rumor keep coming back again. After being hinted for a possible CP+ release in January (didn’t happen) it’s now rumored to happen at Photokina. This of course sounds a more likely timing. LEt’s hope Canon was just fooling us when saying:

“it would be a little unrealistic to say that we will suddenly start offering a professional mirrorless camera” (article here).

Canonrumors speculates the new FF mirrorless could feature a 24MP sensor. I am not a Megapixel war fan but don’t know if from a pure marketing point of view 24Mp are enough to steal the spotlight from the future Sony A9 70-80Mp camera?

The Grey imported Fuji X-T1 can be bought for $699 only on [shoplink 302005 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. There is a one year seller warranty on it. It’s pretty much clear the X-T1 price drop (official and on grey market) has to do with the X-T2 release. That camera is rumored to be announced in 2 months (in June).

And also the Sony A7II got a $500 off on [shoplink 302006 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. This is also a hot candidate for a replacement soon!
