Jim Jannard is teasing the launch of a new kind of product:
“July 6th. 9am PST. Right here. You need to be online. You need to tell everyone you know to be online. Have your credit card ready. This is a new product category. It does not impact your RED camera.”
We don’t know what RED will announced on that day bu Newsshooter speculates that this might be modular camera system which was patented by RED some time ago.

Leica will soon announce the new TL2 camera. It will be available in silver anodized and black anodized versions.

It’s summer time and there isn’t of course a lot of rumors now. But so far we know this is going to happen the upcoming months:
Olympus:
In July they will announce the new E-M10III with 20MP sensor and 4K video
By end of the year they will announce new lenses
Panasonic:
They will announce a new entry level MFT camera in autumn
New 50-200mm Leica lens will be announced in autumn too
Sony:
The A7III is coming around November
135mm FE and 400mm FE by late Summer
Zeiss:
Zeiss will announce new FE lenses by end 2017
Samyang:
Samyang will announce a new FE prime lens by end 2017
Nikon:
Nothing new from Nikon. They are likely going to make a new start in 2018 with a large sensor mirrorless system camera
Canon:
One more EOS-M camera should be announced by end 2017
Fuji:
they will finally make a pause on the X camera front :) Some lenses will be released by end 2017 but we will probably have to wait til 2018 too see new X system cameras.
One of our sources sent us these images of the new Zeiss Milvus 35mm f/1.4 lens. It will be announced within 24 hours. This is a manual focusing lens that will come in Nikon F and Canon EF mount. But of course it can be easily used on any mirrorless system camera too.
We knew that 2017 would have been the year of lenses for the Sony E-mount system. According to multiple sources plenty of new glass will be announced the coming months. This includes:
1) 135mm f/1.8 GM by Sony
2) 400mm f/2.8 GM by Sony
3) 35mm f/1.4 FE by Sigma
4) Another Sigma zoom FE by end 2017
5) New Zeiss Batis lenses by end Summer early Fall
6) New Samyang FE autofocus prime lens this Fall
And there should be more lenses by Sony along the A7III launch in October/November.
So, the next Sony FF E-mount camera will be the A7III. While the A7rIII and A7sIII are more likely to be announced sometimes in 2018. And SonyAlphaRumors shared the A7III specs:
– New 24 MP sensor
– First source said it hs “Same Sony A9 autofocus system without the 20fps feature”. Second source said it’s “improved AF system”. Hope they mean both the same thing.
– Touch Screen
– Joystick control
– 4K recording
– Launch this fall
Still no info about the (RX?) camera that should be announced shortly…
We can be pretty certain this is what Sony is going to announce this year:
It seems like the heavy stuff like the A7rIII and A7sIII will be announced or ship in 2018 only
