That Canon’s next R model will be a High Megapixel camera is 100% certain. Latest unconfirmed rumor is that this camera will be announce in late 2019 and feature a new 70+ megapixel sensor and IBIS.
I am pretty sure both Nikon and Sony will have such a model release too. We are getting slowly closer to the 100 megapixel barrier. Get ready to buy a ton of external hard drives :)

Nikon engineers have shown this new entry level Full Frame Z-mount camera mockup. The engineers said this was one of the early prototype designs made before they decided to go for the current Z6-Z7 design.
They also did show these different shutter button prototypes:
Hard to see any difference :)

Dear Sony readers you will be amazed to learnt hat you will get a total of three new 85mm FE lenes this month :)
First lens: Samyang 85mm f/1.4 autofocus FE (image leaked here)
Second lens: Meike 85mm f/1.8 manual focus DE (listed at Amazon here)
Third lens: Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus FE (rumor here).
I think we will have enough new 85mm lenses for the upcoming 5-6 years :)
Fujirumors reports that the new X-PRO 3 will definitely be announced in 2019. There are no rumored specs yet but I expect this to be a sort of X-T3 in rangefinder styled body :)
But before the X-PRO 3 we will get the new GFX100 which will be released in 2-3 months from now!
Fujirumors reports the two new GF 50mm and XF 16-80mm lenses will be on market this fall. And they also spotted the pricing of the 33mm f/1.0 on a Czech store:
$3,100! Damn!
Nikon on the other hand confirmed the 58mm f/0,95 lens will be released within 2019 but gave no specific timing and no pricing details.
What you see on the image on top is a unique OM-D BrassEdition prototype. Olympus has no plan to bring this to the market. What’s really on their roadmap is the new E-M5III. They confirmed in an Imaging Resource interview the E-M5III will be launched soon!
Fengniao spotted a new Canon patent describing the optical design of a new RF 14-21mm f/1.4 lens. This sounds crazy! Not sure if they will really do this as the lens would be certainly as big as a space shuttle!
