These sketches do show the new Canon EOS-M5?
A member of the CanonRumors Forum posted these two sketches he made of the EOS-M5 camera. Not sure if that’s the real deal…

We have a new bunch of brand new rumors before the big Photokina event:
Those are the announcements date:
September 9: Sony (APS-C E-mount lens)
September 19: Sony (no idea what’s coming)
September 19: Panasonic (G80 and a sort of GH5 prototype)
September 19: Fuji (Medium format camera)
September 19: Olympus (E-M1II, 30mm macro, 12-100mm PRO lens, 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens).
CIPA published the latest camera shipment data. And there is a small trend upwards in system camera sales (DSLR+Mirrorless). The negative Kumamoto effect seems to be slowly fade away…hopefully!
Confess it, I almost forgot that Leica has still an APS-C Leica T mirrorless system :)
Well here is the new Leica 60mm f/2.8 macro lens! And yours is the pleasure to own the lens for a super low $3,000 price (here at BH).
Press text:
All future lenses for the Leica T camera system will be marketed under a new name: “TL”
September 1, 2016 – Beginning today, a new prime lens is available for the Leica T camera system – the Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-TL 60 mm f/2.8 ASPH. Considered to be the reference lens in the APS-C segment, this lens delivers macro exposures with a reproduction ratio of 1:1 and impresses with best imaging performance.
Like the Leica Summilux-TL 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH., the Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-TL 60 mm f/2.8 ASPH. is available in both black and silver.
With this new addition, the lens portfolio of the Leica T camera system now offers a total of six lenses – including three prime lenses and three zoom lenses – that together offer a range of focal lengths for every photographic situation. The two fast prime lenses, the Leica Summicron-TL 23 mm f/2 ASPH. and the Summilux-TL 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH, are classic focal lengths for reportage photography. The APO-Macro-Elmarit-TL 60 mm f/2.8 ASPH. complements them ideally as a lens for finely detailed close-up photography. Finally, the three compact zoom lenses, the Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-TL 11–23 mm f/3.5–4.5 ASPH., Vario-Elmar-TL 18–56 mm f/3.5–5.6 ASPH., and APO-Vario-Elmar-TL 55–135 mm f/3.5–4.5 ASPH., cover an entire range of focal lengths equivalent to 17 to 200 mm in 35 mm format and deliver outstanding images with rich contrast from corner to corner of the frame.
As the Leica T and the new Leica SL share the same L bayonet mount, the name ‘TL’ will be implemented for all new Leica T lenses moving forward. Thanks to the flexibility offered by the TL-Lenses for a wide range of applications on cameras with the L-Bayonet, Leica once again showcases the company’s fundamental principle of system-compatibility and sustainability and offers users access to an even wider portfolio of Leica products
All Leica TL-Lenses impress with outstanding imaging performance at lengths that range from infinity to their closest focusing distance and deliver images with the unique Leica look and bokeh. Designed by the optical engineering specialists in Wetzlar, the lenses all offer the exceptional imaging performance for which Leica lenses are renowned. The combination of optical and technical expertise and the use of only the finest materials guarantee consistent quality and reliability in every situation.
Fuji has a scheduled press conference on September 19. And they will finally show us a prototype of their new medium forma mirrorless system camera. First specs and info got leaked via Fujirumors.
Straight up: The one main difference with the Hasselblad X1D-50c is that the Fuji has a DSLR style. And the Fuji is also rumored to be priced $2-3,000 below the Hasselblad :)
The new Fuji camera specs:
– 50 Megapixel Sony sensor
– Shipment in 2017
– DSLR form factor
– Will be launched with two prime lenses and one zoom
Sounds great! I want it already! Some of my readers wanna buy one of my kidneys?
Canon announced two new 4K cameras:
Canon EOS C700 Cinema Camera (Specs at BH).
Canon XC15 4K Professional Camcorder (Specs at BH).
The new EOS-M5 camera that will be announced on September 15 is likely to have no 4K recording feature. Seems like Canon want you to buy the specific camcorders in their portfolio instead. Or maybe they want you to buy a Sony/Panasonic camera :)
Well, it’s really good to hear that Canon isn’t done with the Photokina announcements yet! On September 15 they will announce the new EOS-M5 camera and according to Canonrumors it has the following specs:
