Both Micro Four Thirds companies will show new lens prototypes at the Cp+ show:

1) Panasonic will share some more clues on their next two Leica branded lenses (8-18mm f/2.8-4.0 and 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0)
2) Olympus will also show new lens prototypes. We have no specs yet but a new 17mm f/1.2 will certainly be announced sometimes this year.

I have no info on new MFT cameras yet…

Debunking a fake news about Sony A7 strategy…

Just a quick head-up. A “certain website” wrote that Sony’s next A7 mark III camera will replace both the A7II and A7sII. I saw that “rumor” going aroudn the forums and social networks. This is just a heads-up to say that this rumor is 100% wrong. Sony will continue to keep the two lines well separated.

It’s unconfirmed yet but the Sony A7III is likely to hit the stores this summer. While the A7sIII will feature a somehow “improved” body design with larger body and dual card slot.
