Digitimes reports that

Samsung Electronics is reportedly set to implement a US$100 billion sensor development project seeking to tap the lucrative worldwide sensor market.

This lead some websites speculate we might see new Samsung sensors for mirrorless system cameras.  But this is spure specualtion and actually not very rationale. Samsung aims at the growing smaller sensor business in the industrial, automotive and smartphone world. That’s where you can make the $$$.

A couple of small rumors:

– The Olympus E-PL10 will be launched in Europe on November 20
– The  Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 FE and L preorders will open in mid November and price is estimated to  be around $1,300-$1,400

This will be the price of the two new Panasonic L lenses that will  be announced within hours. You can find images of the lenses here: drive.google.com

And there are also new leaked Leica SL2 images  you can  download here: drive.google.com

2) November 6: Sigma will announce the development of  the new  24-70mm f/2.8 lens for Sony FE and the L-mount  system
3) This week Panasonic will also launch two L-mount lenses….

While other manufacturers will have a short announcement pause til January-February the L-mount consortium is still busy announcing new products:

1) Next week Leica will announce the new 47MP SL2 camera
2) Within  2 weeks Panasonic will also launch the  new 70-200mm f/2.8 and 16-35mm f/4.0 L lenses

As you can see…all those three new toys aren’t going to be cheap  :)
