What’s coming next? A new Olympus E-M10III and a new Sony camera!

Let’s try to distract the people from the ongoing Sony A9 news coverage :)

We know of two cameras coming soon:

1) Olympus will announce the new E-M10III within the next couple of months

2) Sony will announce a new camera in June. We don’t know what it is but the best guess is that this is a new RX camera. But it definitely is NOT a new A9r camera as reported as usual by some bogus rumor sites that never have been right once :)

3) Panasonic and Fuji will announce their next new mirrorless system camera after this summer!

These are the two next Fuji system cameras…

Fuji is really restless when it comes to launch new camera one after another. A part of the long time rumored new fixed lens X80 camera it really looks like Fuji will launch two more system cameras within the next 12 months:

1) Fujirumors confirmed they are going to launch a new Very High end X camera which will be priced between the $2,000 and $3,000 range. This camera has a similar X-T2 design but is the best video Fuji camera yet.

2) Fujirumors also reports the new X-E3 is coming too. And it will be a tiny bit smaller than the X-E2.

New images of the production ready Light L16 camera!

Lightrumors spotted four new images of the production ready L16 camera. They noticed those changes:

  • The flash used to be above the “Light” logo and it has now moved and is a dual-color flash
  • The laser focus assist moved a bit to make room for the flash and appears to be a solid color (not see thru glass any more)
  • The grip section is flat – earlier images had a very slight rise from the flat surface of the glass
  • There’s a tiny hole to the right of the Light name – probably the mic hole for video
  • On the left side (when facing the front), we see the attachment slot for the wrist strap – but there also used to be a plug slot there – it is now gone
  • We don’t get to see the bottom – this is where I assume the micro-usb port and the power adapter (unless they’re the same now) will be
  • We also don’t get any shots of the back?

And Capture.Light posted a couple of image samples too:
