10 months passed without any Sony camera announcement. But finally today they published this teaser for a September 6th E-mount announcement.

I will be the first to tell you that this is Sony’s first PTZ E-mount camera (you can find current PTZ cameras here at BH). This is the teaser video:

On September 8th Fuji will announce the new X-H2. Fujirumors leaked the first specs:

• 40MP
• 8K/30p 4K/60p and 1080/120p
• 13 stops of video dynamic range
• ISO 125
• fastest electronic shutter will be 1/180,000 sec.
• Pixel Shift Multishot for 160 Megapixel Images

Not only the X-H2 but also the new GF 20-35mm f/4.0 lens will be announced on September 8th.

How2Fly predicted two rumors lately: That this week Tamron would announce a new wide angle lens and that Nikon would announce the Z8 in September. Well, today Tamron announced the new 20-40mm f/2.8 FE lens (all info here). So I guess this means this Nikon Z 8 rumors has a good chance to be correct too. This is what he wrote:

No Z7 III or Z6 III this year, but Z8 will arrive in September, no later than October. And The pricing of Z 8 is quite appealing（lower than expected）.

How2fly also added the screenshot above showing the Z 8 name within the Nikon USA HTML code…
