Three new press events from Sony, Olympus and Panasonic!

We are goint o have three press events soon:

Sony will announce new products on October 25 at 10am NYC time
Olympus will announce the 17mm and 45mm f/1.2 PRO lenses on October 25 a few hours AFTER Sony
Panasonic will announce a new High End MFT camera between November 6 and November 7

And now finally Sony: Press announcement on October 25 at 10am

In the past years Sony used to give us plenty of new cameras every year. But these times are over and also Sony has slowed down their mad product release cylce. This year we only got two cameras: The Sony A9 and the Sony RX10m4 (we don’t count the RX0 as a camera for the mass market).

But finally there is something more to be announced on October 25 at 10am in NYC. New A7 camera(s) coming?
