Digicameinfo spotted the first pictures of the very soon to be announced new Olympus E-M10II. There is no info on specs yet but I suppose the camera will sue the current 16MP sensor and just feature some small evolutionary specs.
We got a highly reliable information that Olympus will announce the E-M10II in August. Hope to get the exact date soon. Specs so far are unknown but I have been told to not expect anything revolutionary. For that you will have to wait for the E-M1II coming in 2016!
Here are a couple of new rumors coming from the mirrorless world:
1) Panasonic will add V-LOG on the GH4 via a new firmware update coming in October
2) Olympus will improve the High Resolution mode viw firmware upgrade (coming within days?)
3) Sony will launch a new FE 85mm f/1.4 G lens with “creamy” f/1.4 look.
No new rumor yet from Fuji-Samsung-Nikon…
Latest rumor we got suggest that Sony is actually planing to release two new APS-C E-mount cameras this year. One is the A6100 and one is the high end A7000.
SonyAlphaRumors got some specs about the A7000 but I don’t know if these are really the final correct features:
Still ironing out the last kinks is needed, but it is likely to be announced soon. A possible date would be aug/sep.
• The specifications showcase
• Upgrade of the widely famed APS-C alpha6000
• Newly developed 24MP sensor featuring backside illumination for increased sensitivity.
• In sensor HDR function including video for dynamic range up to 15.5EVs
• 196 phase detect auto focus points
• Blazing 16fps continuous autofocus burst rate
• Unlimited 4k video recording
• Refined pop out XGA OLED Tru-Finder
• 180 degree tilting 2.36M Dot LCD monitor
• Weather-Resistant Magnesium Alloy BodyBy default the Camera will come with a new and improved Kit lens featuring 16-50mm F2.4-3.6
The camera set will be targeted to the professional consumer demanding uncompromised image quality in a small body. The target retail price will be set at1499$
Panasonic announced their new GX8 and as a rumor site we cannot rest and we have to talk about what’s next :)
So far we heard rumors about a late August (or early September) announcement from Olympus and very likely also from Sony.
While Olympus is almost certainly going to introduce the E-M10II it’s still unclear if Sony will at last announce the A7000 or announce something else (RX or so).
Let me know if you got some info about those announcements :)
