Canon will launch the new G1X III in October. Unconfirmed specs rumores so far:
Cosina-Voigtlander just released the new 40mm f/1.2 FE lens in Japan. Price is around $1,200. English announcement should follow later today.
In an interview with Xitek Nikon confirmed that Full Frame will be the way to go for their new mirrorless system camera. They also said this:
I don’t think it will be easy for Nikon to succeed in this market when they will launch their FF camera in 2018…
Yashica launched a teaser video for a new camera launch. After so many years of silence they are finally going back into the camera business. In the video you see one of their old film cameras. It’s unclear if this means their new camera will be a film camera too.

Now this is unexpected. Nikon patented two version of a new 24mm f/1.8 lens: One for a Full Frame mirrorless system camera and one for an APS-C mirrorless system camera. I really don’t think Nikon plans to launch two new systems in 2018. So my guess is that they are simply trying to play with all options. At the end we should expect a FF or APS-C system only.

The new Polaroid OneStep2 has been announed today. It’s available for $99 at BHphoto.
Explora reports:
Many of us were wishing for this day with little hope that it would ever come, but the Impossible Project has managed to bring back the original instant film name with its announcement today of Polaroid Originals. This rebranding was made possible through a years-long effort by the leaders of the Impossible Project and represents a major shift in things to come, including the release of a brand new instant film camera bearing the Polaroid name—the OneStep2, a brand new i-Type camera.
