The Internet Rumors declared that Olympus is dead. But somehow this stubborn company doesn’t want to accept that “fact” and they keep releasing new products :)

In mid February they will announce the new E-M1III (first leaked image on top) and probably 1-2 new MFT lenses. Some early camera specs:

– Has one more joystick
– Same battery as E-M1II
– New processor
– Can do Handheld High Resolution shots

So this will be basically E-M1X without the unnecessary built.in grip….

Here are the Leica M10 Monochrome specs:

– 40MP monochrome sensor
– Leica Maestro II
– ISO：160-100,000
– 3 inch LCD screen with 1,04 dots resolution

Hasselblad will soon announce this new XCD 45mm F4 lens. You can find the full spec sheet on this PDF file.

Fujirumors reports that there will be no new GFX camera this year from Fuji. And I think there is little chance Hasselblad will launch a new mirrorless medium format camera too. Pity, I would love to get this X-T styled medium format camera :(

Still we will get new lenses for medium format cameras. In two weeks Fuji will announce this new 45-100mm f/4.0:

There is a veeeery wild rumor (or guess?) going around the web about the possible EOS-R II specs. So please take it with a huge grain of salt:

• 32MP image sensor
• IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation)
• DIGIC X (A different version than the CPU featured on the EOS-1D Mark III)
• 12fps
• ISO 100 – 51,200
• 1 SD card slot
• 1 CFexpress slot
• No crop 4K video with DPAF (Dual Pixel Autofocus)
• No RAW video
• 5mp EVF
• May get a new naming scheme

So while I doubt those specs are accurate it’s definitely true that Canon will release a lot of new camera and lenses for the RF mirrorless system. They are trying hard to outpace Sony to reduce their gap with the Alpha system.
