Sony A9 will ship by end of May at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, Calumet.de. Park UK. Wex UK. Jessops.

The A9 rumble is still ongoing on the web. But it seems like Sony is not done yet and we are receiving hints about another announcement coming soon. Probably within the next 4-6 weeks Sony will announce some new E-mount lenses and probably one new camera too. We got no solid info about possible specs but so more in general some of this stuff might be announced soon:

16-35mm f/2.8 GM (very likely)
new RX camera
new 135mm FE lens

What’s definitely NOT coming yet is a new A9r or a new A7III.

So what’s coming next for the MFT folks?

1. Olympus will announce a new E-M10III camera sometimes this summer.
2. Olympus will also announce one or two new f/1.2 PRO MFT lenses this year
3. Panasonic will announce a new MFT camera this fall (maybe a new GX or GM)
4. Panasonic will also release the new 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 Leica lens this fall (see lens in the middle on the image on top)

So far that’s all we know!

We got two new Fuji rumors:

1. Fujrumors reports there will be a new 200mm lens in 2018.
2. New X80 APS-C fixed lens camera will be announced by end 2017.

One more Fuji rumors: Do you know that Fuji has one more BIG camera announcement by end of this year or early 2018 at max? it’s the High End X-T camera trimmed for speed and video. Well this camera will also feature a new X-Trans sensor!

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!

We got plenty of new stuff this week but it aint’ over! Tomorrow Sony and Panasonic will announce their new broadcast stuff. While Blackmagic will have a press conference on Monday.

We just got that image from a new Canon 70-200mm Cine lens. Canon will show this lens at the NAB show.

And by the way, Sony is going to announce a new camera within 1-2 hours!
