We got two major announcements next week and here are the latest details:
1) Leica will announce the M10 on January 18. The camera will feature many minor improvements (like better viewfinder) but the sensor will be the “usual” 24MP FF.
2) Fuji has a big announcement day on January 19. We know we will get the GFX pricing, X-t20, X100F and new XF lenses. Latest rumors say there will be a firmware update too. And Fujirumors also posted the X-T20 specs.
And we expect more announcements from Sony, Panasonic and Olympus right before the CP+ show. More about that soon on MR…
Fujirumors posted the first X-T20 specs. The camera will be announced on January 19:
New 24MP sensor and X-Processor Pro
no 4K
no joystick
touchscreen
And there is also a rumor that Fuji will launch a new PRO service too!

We were just praising the successful “restart” of the company thanks to the nice Hasselblad X1D. And now we got this: Luminous Landscape reports that CHinese Drone Maker DJI acquired the Swedish company! And no, this isn’t a crazy wild rumor. I am 99,999999% sure the rumor is correct!
What DJI plans to do with Hasselblad remains a mystery. But it seems DJI has the cash that Hasselblad has not to further develop the medium format segment:
It would be comforting, albeit naive, to think that everything will remain consistent and that no significant changes will take place, but I can assure you that this will not be the case. DJI sees a future in Hasselblad. I’m sure the Chinese market loves a brand like Hasselblad and it will be wildly successful there. But, what about the rest of the world? Can DJI maintain the iconic tradition and sales of such a mature and recognized brand?
I am yet not sure if that’s indirectly a good news for Fuji. I am not sure how many will buy the X1D knowing that the future path is a bit unclear…
We just received those images of the new Canon SX430. It will be announced shortly!
