Next week DJI will announce a new product in a big New York event. We don’t know what this is but Cinema5D assured this is NOT a Drone. You got an idea what they will announce?

Here is a bunch of new rumors we haven’t reported yet on Mirrorlessrumors:

No Fujifilm X-H2 Release in 2019 (Fujirumors).
Sony A7sIII has new stacked sensor and will be on market by early 2019 (SonyAlphaRumors).
New additional E-M1X specs: Has adaptive autofocus (43rumors).

43rumors unveiled the first specs of the new Olympus OMD E-M1X camera:

Name: E-M1X OMD camera
Sensor: 20MP
Frame rate: 18fps
7.5+ EV
Body Size: 144.37 x 146.765 x 75.345mm (body with a built in vertical grip)
High Res: Can shoot handheld High Resolution images (around 80MP)
Photography focus: Sports and Wildlife shooters
Price: close to $3,000
Launch: January 2019

And one source shared some more insights on this camera:

The camera is the perfect working tool. It’s worth the high price of $3,000, I guess from what I’ve seen. Lying in the hand like the legendary E-1 (see picture on top). It’s even better balanced than the MKII. You hardly notice the little extra weight. With the 300 F4 as well as with a 45 F 1.8 the camera sticks in your hand as if glued on.

The sensor exceeds all expectations, as does the stabilizer. The camera has 3 types of high res shoots. What really pleases me is that finally the charging via 15 V USB port works. Then I can finally charge my Powerbanks via solar cells while hiking in Nepal and then connect them to the camera. But the best will be the extremely high data transfer rate when transferring live data to a server over the air.

The charger charges the battery extremely fast, thanks for the investment of an additional $4.80 in development. for those who have waited a long time, the mc-20 also comes. So, look forward to the launch of the camera at the end of january 2019 and 2 more “small cameras” next year. You will smile when you see them.

No doubt Olympus will make a great camera but the E-M1X price is close to the Sony A7rIII and Nikon Z7 Full Frame cameras…will Olympus really sell enough of E-M1X cameras to make some profit?

Panasonic has not intention (or cannot) make a MFT to L-mount adapter. This is what’s reported on L-rumors.com. My feeling is that in 5 years from now Panasonic will only do L-mount cameras and MFT will slowly fade out like the Nikon 1 system :(

The new Leica D-LUX 7 will be announced soon. The camera got registered in Asian agencies with the code “3952”.

CanonWatch reports that the next EOS-R High Resolution camera might be announced at Photokina 2019 in May. There are no rumored specs yet but I hope this model will finally record 4K with no crop and have 2 card slots.
