Canonrumors reports that the new Full Frame mirrorless that could be launched by end 2018 might have a newly developed sensor. This sensor is optimized for that specific camera. Canonwatch summed up the rumors we got so far:

• Dedicated full frame CMOS sensor
• Different sources and sites were reporting that early prototypes exist, at least to be tested inside Canon’s labs. This intel came in 2016 and early 2017.
• Canon is possibly working on a full-frame mirrorless camera with EF mount. There have been rumors saying that Canon is delaying this camera because of issues in implementing the EF mount. There is a lot of talk about this. If Canon manages to engineer a full-frame mirrorless camera with EF mount, thus allowing us to use our beloved EF lenses on a smaller and hopefully performing body, it will be a winner. Imagine what you could do with a MILC that goes along with your EF lenses. There is serious a chance we may see this.
• The latest bit of info I got suggests Canon will announce a full-frame mirrorless camera with a sensor having a resolution of 36-38MP.
• A possible announcement date is around Photokina 2018, which happens in September.

Yashica confirmed on their Youtube channel that they will launch a new camera on October 10 at 19:00 London time on Kickstarter. It’s unclear what kind of camera we can expect.

The Wifi alliance website listed a new Fuji camera with the code “FF170002”. And thanks to Fujirumors we know that this is likely to be the new X-T2s. This camera has exactly the same X-T2 specs but comes with on sensor stabilization.
