Nokishita just leaked this image of  the Leica SL camera. It has some small difference from the previous model (see it here). Now it has a near full body texture and a “ring” around  the mount. Also the grip seems to be slightly curved.

More important  are the changes inside:

– New 47  megapixel sensor
– Cine mode video
– 4K video

Code name of the camera seems to be”Vader” because of the low light capabilities :)

Announcement should happen pretty soon…

This is the first leaked image of the Sony A9II. The 36 MP flagship camera will be announced sometimes in October. This is the camera sports photographers will use at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. No specs are known yet (a part  of the 36MP sensor).

Somehow I got the feeling the A7IV will be announced soon too. Probably before the A7sIII launch…another way to drive crazy  all those waiting for the new A7s camera :)

These are  the rumored lenses to be launched in 2020-2021:

Nikon Z-mount lenses 2020:

• NIKKOR Z 13mm f/1.8 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 28-70mm f/2.8-3.5 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S Lens

Nikon Z-mount Lens Roadmap in 2021:

• NIKKOR Z 28mm f/1.8 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 28-280mm f/2.8-5.6 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 65mm f/1.8 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 100-300mm f/4 S Lens
• NIKKOR Z 105mm f/1.8 S Lens

The  85mm f/1.2 and 35mm f/1.2 are quite impressive!

Phase One just started a new teaser campaign for the launch of  a new camera. They  say it’s extraordinary. Now, what I would find extraordinary would be the launch of the first “real” medium format mirrorless camera. But I guess that’s  not the case  :)

Still, even if  it’s a new DSLR medium format camera I am sure it will have some new terrific Sony sensor  with incredible IQ.

Fujirumors reports:

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 will be announced in the second half of October.

No specs have been shared yet but it’s been rumored the X-PRO 3 will use  the tilt screen version used by this SP-X concept camera:

I really do love that Fuji modular concept but it’s not going to be announced any time soon. Instead Fujirumors reports that  Fuji is ready  to announce two new cameras this year:

One is the X-PRO 3
The second  is…”unknown” and definitely not  the X-H2 or X100V

Any idea what his might be?

A newly published patent discloses the design of a professional Nikon Z camera with built-in grip. In the images below you see the size comparison with the  current Nikon  Z cameras (images with dark grey body):

I guess this could be the future Nikon Z9. A bigger body would allow better heat dissipation for professional video recording and also faster frame rate.

From what  I heard so far the  Nikon Z9 will be released in 2020 and use a new fast Sony sensor. It will compete against the Sony A9.

UPDATE: Answer to a troll competition site :)

Some  composition website claimed these images are from him and that  I watermarked them afterwards.  Two proofs this is not the  case:

1) He posted 10 images and I posted 12 images. So where the heck did I copy the two more images if he didn’t post them? Example image he did not post is here.

2) The second proof is that my source posted these images 11 days before his post!  Here is the screenshot of the source. I will  not  share the link as he might stop posting  if companies will find it out and contact him!

Oh yes  and the source is legit because they  have a famous track on patents and REAL image leaks. I gave  the link to the source  to some of our long time trusted commenters so that they can be testimony that the source is SUPER real ;)

Gosh, I probably wasted 30 minutes of my  life answering a troll  :)
