Quick update to the previous Leica rumor. They will launch new kind of products on June 10 on a special Munich event.

P.S.: Tahnks to the anonymous source who shared this!

We have been told by 100% reliable sources that Leica will launch a surprising product in two weeks from now! Stay tune on! I will try to grab some info about that soon!

For Fuji it makes little sense to compete in the Full Frame market against Canon-Nikon and Sony beasts. And they also understand that the quality difference between APS-C and FF isn’t that big. That’s why according to Fujirumors they will launch a new Medium Format Mirrorless (system?) camera in 1-2 years from now. They would have no competition, be unique and also lean to their long time medium format history. I think that’s a bold move from Fuji!
 

Digicameinfo spotted a new Ricoh GRII name registration at Postel. NO info on specs yet but usually this kind of registrations happens closely before the official announcement.

A short heads up to remind you that next week is going to be quite interesting. On Monday Panasonic and Fuji will announce their small brothers of the X-T1 and GH4 flagship cameras.

And by end of the week Sony will introduce a new A6xxx camera and hopefully also the long time rumored A7rII.

Let’s see if the A7rII will become a real Canon 50MP cam competitor.

The Fuji X-T10 and Panasonic G7 do have something in common. Both have a sort of “cubic” style! Both cameras will be announced the next Monday (May 18).
