There is a brand new published Canon patent that discloses a very new kind of camera:

1) It has a curved sensor

2) It has a new EF mount with a lever to detach the lens ( no need to turn)

3) The camera in the patent is a cinema camera but it can be used for a more classic photo mirrorless system camera too

So after Sony and Nikon also Canon is patenting curved sensor tech. Whom will be the first to launch an actual product on the market? My bet goes on Sony…

It’s confirmed via Nokishita: Canon will announce the new EOS-M100 entry level mirrorless system camera within the next couple of days.  It will sell in nine(!) different colors. And you can have it as body only, with 15-45mm kit lens or as a double zoom kit.

Pictures are expected to be leaked within the next hours…

Fujirumors reports that Fuji will release a major X-PRO2 firmware that will add 4K video recording capability. This is the first time a mirrorless system camera gets 4K via a simple update. I wonder why 4K wasn’t there in the first place…

Nokishita spotted a new jacket (code EH31-FJ) for a new unannounced entry level EOS-M camera. This confirms previous rumors the EOS-M100 will be announced very soon!

Insta360 will announce a new camera on August 28. This is a camera you have to spin around yourself to take this kind of impressive videos:

360rumors reports:

It has a high-fps mode (at least 240fps or higher). When the camera is attached to a string and spun around with high fps video, you get the effect that you see here. It appears that this is a fully spherical high fps mode (not just a front lens mode).

Cool!

Fujirumors posted that image of the X-E3 and here are the specs:

• more expensive than X-T20
• 4K video
• first leaked images
• Combined Shutter/ISO dial
• No tilt screen
• Bluetooth
• Maybe, besides Bluetooth, there could be also some more new technologies on the X-E3 that all other X-series cameras don’t have
• Focus Jostick
• smaller than X-E2
• announcement this year, probably fall this year
