Future camera news roundup: E-M1II, FS7II, GH5, X-?

Quick roundup of new rumors:

  1. The new Olympus E-M1II will start shipping the first week of December. the price should be a little bit above the one of the Fuji X-T2 (43rumors)
  2. Sony is going to announce the new FS7II E-mount camcorder in November (no A7III folks!)
  3. New X-series camera will be announced in November/December (Fujirumors).
  4. The GH5 has 5 axis stabilization. Very strange Panasonic didn’t mention this at Photokina in the first place…

Sony and Fuji will announce new products soon!

Fuji isn’t done yet! After the X-PRO2, X-T2 and GFX they will announce one more new camera before Christmas! All we know so far is that this is a X-series camera (Source: Fujirumors).

And Sony is also rumored to announce something E-mount in 2-3 weeks. But it won’t be a new A7 or the long time rumored A9 model. but rather something else (Source: SonyAlphaRumors).

I guess the product announcements from Fuji and Sony will be the last ones of this year.

New Olympus E-M1II 4K video. And a good news…

Olympus Europe just shared that OM-D E-M1 Mark II – Performance test made in Iceland (4K movie).

And 43rumors also shared a good news: The camera preorders will start soon and the first shipment is expected to happen in early December. With a bit of luck you can shoot your Christmas party with the new E-M1II!
