There was some “chatter” that Nikon could announce soemthing new tomorrow. And well Nikon Europe surely seems to confirm that! Is this “excitement” coming from a new mirrorless system camera???

Tomorrow (Monday Sept.19) we will have plenty of press events at the Photokina show:

12:30 Berlin time Panasonic (G80, FZ2000, LX10, GH5 pre announcement, new lenses)
14:00 Berlin time Canon (nothing new to announce, they will talk about the already announced cameras)
15:00 Berlin time Sony (probably nothing new to announce. If there is something new than maybe the A9?)
16:00 Berlin time Nikon (mirrorless surprise?)
17:00 Berlin time Fuji (New medium format camera)
18:30 Berlin time Olympus (E-PL8, 25mm f/1.2, 12-100mm f/4.0, 30mm macro, E-M1II pre-announcement)

So far only Olympus will live stream the event. As usual you can follow the liveblogging here on Mirrorlessrumors!

Fujirumors spilled out some more info about the new medium format system camera that Fuji will announce tomorrow:

1. It has an interchageable viewfinder
2. The lenses will be called “XG”

Fujirumors reports the new Fuji Medium format camera will cost less than the Hasselblad X1D. In fact the Fuji camera plus a kit lens will cost exactly like the X1D body only.

The new camera will be announced on Monday Sept 19. But it won’t be available til early 2017. This gives Hasselblad quite some advantage as their camera is expected to ship tomorrow already.

On Monday Panasonic and Olympus will announce their new cameras. And here you have the first images and specs of the new Panasonic G80:
