The well informed japanese magazine Nikkei confirmed the August 23 announcement date for the new Nikon FF mirrorless. They also said Canon is “advancing development rapidly” too. It’s rumored Canon will answer to Nikon with a press event in early September.
This is a bit odd. Today Nikon announced the “development” of a new FF mirrorless. I hope this doens’t mean we will now have to wait a long time to see the first real camera… Here is the press text:
Nikon announces development of next generation full-frame mirrorless camera and Nikkor lenses—featuring a new mount—that pursue a new dimension in optical performance
MELVILLE, NY (JULY 25, 2018 at 12:01 A.M. EDT) – Nikon Inc. is pleased to announce the development of a next-generation full-frame (Nikon FX-format) mirrorless camera and NIKKOR lenses featuring a new mount.
The new mirrorless camera and NIKKOR lenses that are in development will enable a new dimension in optical performance with the adoption of a new mount. The system is the result of Nikon’s unsurpassed optical and manufacturing capabilities gained through more than a century of imaging expertise. Proven reliability and trusted performance are core traits of Nikon Digital-SLRs, and decades of feedback from professional creators around the world has further contributed to the development of this system.
Through the development of this new mirrorless camera, Nikon reaffirms our commitment to providing photographers with the ability to capture images that are richer and more vivid than ever before.
Additionally, an F-Mount adapter is being developed that will enable the use of a wide variety of F-Mount NIKKOR lenses with the new camera.
Nikon will continue to lead imaging innovation with the launch of the new mirrorless camera and the continued development of Nikon Digital-SLR cameras as well as the impressive NIKKOR lens lineup. Soon, Nikon users will have two industry-leading camera systems to choose from, giving consumers the choice to enjoy the unique values that each system offers.

With mirrorless single lens reflex, Olympus was top with 27.7% in 17 years, but in the first half of 2006 the Canon who launched the strongest brand “EOS Kiss” with a lens-interchangeable camera in the mirror less at 30.1% took the top position.

Fuji’s new 33mm f/1.0 lens will be on market by 2020. This is certainly an exceptional lens and I hope price will not be crazy high for this one. There are still some readers having issue to calculate the Full Frame equivalent specs of this lens. Just use mmcalc.com to get your answer:
UPDATE: We had embedded the first hands-on images poste on Fujiyacamera on twitter. But they have since then removed them on pressure by Fuji.
