SonyAlphaRumors confirmed that Sony is going to launch a new E-mount FS7II camcorder on November 11. There is yet no word if Sony will also launch new E-mount lenses. But the 16-35mm f/2.8 Gm lens is definitely the next GM lens on the Sony roadmap!

Canon will soon present a new Super 35mm 4K CMOS sensor having the following key features:

• Global Shutter
• High Resolution (exact Megapixel count has not been disclosed yet)
• 4 pixel readout for high dynamic range (92dB at a standard 30fps frame rate)

Above you can see a comparison between the new Canon sensor with Global Shutter compared with a conventional Rolling Shutter sensor. It is yet unclear when the new sensor will be production ready.

Thanks Barry!

In November Fuji will announce the new X-A10 and the new XF 50mm f/2.o WR lens (Source: Fujirumors).

And to get a taste about Fuji’s roadmap in 2017: They will launch their first “clickless” aperture lenses in 2017. This shows how Fuji is clearly targeting the video shooters with  their new X-T2 (Fujirumors).

Canon registered several new cameras at the public Novacert agency (Russia). Those are all yet nonannounced cameras. The code “PC2279” marks a new mirrorless system camera. The other codes are fro two DSLR cameras five fixed lens cameras and accessories.

Janosch from the Fuji GFX facebook group spotted that German magazine disclosing the price of the GFX body. They write this is “ca (circa)” price…whcih means it’s not the final 100% confirmed price. But I think this is really what the GFX is going to cost at the end when preorder will be available early next year.

Quick roundup of the latest rumors:

1. This week Fuji will launch a new firmware update for the X-T2 and X-T1 (details at Fujirumors).
2. Sony will launch the new FS7II E-mount camcorder in early November
3. Sony is also rumored to launch a new 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens within the next fe months (SonyAlphaRumors).
4. Olympus will officially launch the E-M1II on November 2 (preorder start on that day and shipment start in early December)

Canonrumors claims to have gotten a bit more solid info on Canons Full Frame mirrorless plans:

1. Canon still has a long way to go before they launch such a camera. We can expect it at earliest in late 2017
2. Canon is likely to launch a fixed lens FF mirrorless camera first
3. If it ever comes the Canon FF interchangeable mirrorless camera is expected to keep the EF mount from their current DSLR line.

In short: Their DSLR cameras will get rid of the mirrorless and that’s it! Seems like Canon thinks the shorter flange distance and the new mount is not a feasible choice for them.
