This the leaked spec sheet of the new Canon 63 Megapixel Full Frame sensor with Dual Pixel AF I guess this is the sensor that could be used by the future EOS-R High Resolution camera!

Time to make a quick roundup of Canon and Nikon mirrorless rumors:
Canon will surely announce a new High megapixel monster this autumn. It’s rumored to have a 75MP sensor and IBIS.
Canon also said a very low-end Canon EOS-R could be made (probably for around $999). But I don’t see this happening in 2019. Maybe in 2020?
And finally there might be a new 32 APS-C Canon mirrorless too.
Nikon is also working on two new Z-mount cameras. A new Z5 to compete against the RP and a new Z8 for professionals. Both to be announced in 2020.
Sony has still not released a new FF model since the BIG Canon-Nikon autumn announcements. I hope they will take note of what the new competition has to offer like better ergonomics and better weather sealing….
Sony E-mount camera owners will enjoy a bunch of new fast third party lenses:
1) Yongnuo will soon launch the new 50mm f/1.8 E-mount lenses which will come in two version for Full Frame and for APS-C (more on SAR)
2) Zenit will soon launch the new 50mm f/0,95 lens which should offer much higher quality than the chinese competition (more on SAR)
3) Mitakon has just launched the new 50mm f/095 III (Adorama).
4) Tokina has just announced the new 100mm f/2.8 FE macro (BHphoto).
5) Samyang 45mm f/1.8 FE autofocus lens will be announced shortly (more on SAR).
Olympus Japan market the cameras as discontinued
Just like any other company also Olympus cannot ignore the effects of a shrinking market. The first victim of the MFT line is actually the one camera I like most: The PEN-F. The camera sales of this tiny style jewel were lower than the company’s target. And it therefore got axed.
From what I heard the entire PEN line isn’t selling well with the exception of some models sold in Asia. I guess Olympus focus from now on will be on the OMD line.
There is a new Nikon brochure that makes a clear mention of a new “cheaper” Z-mount lens series. All it says that it’s goin to “be announced at a later date”.

With high confidence CanonWatch reports that this fall we will get the new 75 Megapixel EOS-R High Resolution camera.
Meapixel über alles! :)
EOS Magazine interviewed Michael Burnhill (European Technical Support Manager at Canon Europe). When they asked him if even cheaper Canon EOS-R camera could be introduced in the future he said this:
Do you see a full-frame camera coming in at a price below the RP?
MB: Yes.
I think this shouldn’t come as surprise. The Sony A7II just got a $600 price drop at Buydig, BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama and Focuscamera. You get camera plus lens for under $1,000!!!
