So folks it’s Olympus time! At 6am London time (Jan 27) Olympus will announce the new PEN-F. Everything about the camera got leaked (specs and images). So there will be not much to surprise you. But MFT folks will be happy to know that both Olympus and Panasonic will have new product announcements in exactly one month from now:

Panasonic will announce the GF8. And Olympus the new f/1.2 lenses.

And than we have the Sony A61000, maybe a new Canon mirrorless and maybe even a Nikon surprise. Plenty to look forward too!

Maurice from Fujirumors noticed the X-PRO2 has a 33mm frameline. And FR says that a 33mm f/1.0 lens could be announced at Photokina. This lens would certainly add a magic WOW factor to the Fuji X system. The question is how BIG will be the lens and how MANY are the $$$ you have to spend to get it?

2016 is likely going to be the year where both Canon and Nikon will announce their first “PRO” mirrorless system cameras. According to Canonrumors Canon will “surprise a lot of people” at CP+. While he has no detail about what the surprise could be he speculates this could be a Canon FF camera.

I have not received any hint about a Canon FF mirrorless yet. But I am sure it would be good news if Sony will finally get some competition.

Next week on January 27 Olympus will announce the new PEN-F. Here are all the images of the real thing and as you can see its a real retro styled camera. And despite it’s rugged design the camera is not weather sealed. At 1500 Euro with kit lens this is probably not going to be a hotseller.

After a couple of delays the new A6100 is going to be announced in early February. On SonyAlphaRumors there is also a report about a second mirrorless camera but I got no reliable info about that one.

So far it’s rumored the A6100 will feature a new 36MP sensor. But this still has to be verified by trusted sources.

If you really want to hear a very wild (also unreliable rumor) than the second Sony mirrorless is a new Full Frame E-mount. But take that one with ease…

So, after Batis, Loxia, A-mount lenses, E-mount lenses, FF and APS-C Sony camera owners will get another chance to get even more confused! Just joking ;)

Sony trademarked a new logo for a new Sony FE “G-Master” lens series. G-mast er will define the High End E-mount lenses probably for hybrid shooters (powerzoom). The first lens that Sony will announce is the new 24-70mm f/2.8 FE lens.

Fuji had the big announcement but as a rumor site we always have to look on what’s coming as next:

1. Olympus will announce the PEN-F on January 27
2. Sony will announce the A6100 before the CP+ show in February
3. Panasonic will announce the 4K GF8 at the Cp+ show in late February

But of course there is room for surprise! Maybe Sony will announce a new FF E-mount too…
