Nokishita just confirmed that Canon will soon launch two new lenses:

RF85mm F1.2 DS (Defocus Smoothing)
and RF70-200mm F2.8

Some more info about the DS lens:

The RF85mm F1.2 L USM DS features a similar optical design to the RF85mm F1.2 L USM while achieving Defocus Smoothing (DS), a distinct soft bokeh rendering with smoother edges made possible through the use of proprietary deposition technology currently under development, making it ideal for portrait shooting.

The RF 85mm F1.2 L USM DS, with Defocus Smoothing lens technology, is a uniquely designed lens that offers a combination of beautifully smooth defocused bokeh. Featuring a super-fast F1.2 aperture, the lens will help produce breathtaking portraits that will surely stand out from the crowd.

MFT fans rejoice: Sony just made you this new 47MP and 8K Micro Four Thirds sensor!

It surely looks like Sony is giving a lot of efforts to keep the Micro Four Thirds kicking and alive! They announced this new 47MP sensor (41MP in 4/3 mode) capable of recording 8K video.

I am pretty sure we will get 8K MFT mirrorless cameras long before 8K will be available for Full Frame. At the moment an 8K FF camera in a compact body would create a nuclear alike Chernobyl explosion :)
