We got a reliable scheduling for the next press events:
August 25: Fuji will announce the X-A3 and 23mm f/2.0 lens
September 1: Sony will announce new consumer products on September 1 (no E-mount stuff expected but you never know…)
September 19: Olympus will announce the E-M1II and new 14-100mm f/4.0 and 25mm f/1.2 lenses
September 19: Panasonic will announce the new G80
September 19: Fuji is rumored to show a prototype of a new medium format camera
September 19: Sony has a press event but it’s unclear if Sony will announce hte new High End E-mount camera on that date or maybe “only” announce new FE lenses
That’s it for now!
Right in time for the IFA in Berlin Sony plans to introduce new electronic products. Hard to think that Sony will announce new E-mount cameras or lenses as this is more a of a general electronic fair like the CP+. This is what they write on their website:
Hello and welcome to the Sony IFA 2016 page. This is where you’ll find all the latest Sony news and product announcements from Berlin as soon as they happen, and we’ll also be sharing photos, video footage and more across the entire event. It’s just like being at IFA itself, but without all the walking!To watch the livestream of the Sony press conference, make sure you check back here on Thursday September 1st at 1pm Berlin time (12pm GMT), where you’ll see our President and CEO Kazuo Hirai announcing our latest products live from the Messe Berlin.
Keep in mind there are two more big events this year, the Photokina and the PhotoPlus show. Sony is rumored to announce the following stuff within the next couple fo months: 16-35mm GM, 100mm f/2.8 STF, Sony High End E-mount camera and maybe a new entry level Sony A7 mark III.
Those are the first images of the new Fuji X-A3 that will be announced next week on August 25

Dpreview just published the full EOS-M 3 review. And there is a very unusual “rumor” they unveiled during the camera comparison section:
Trying to figure out where the EOS M3 fits into the mirrorless landscape is tough. Its closest peers, based on price and features, are the Fujifilm X-A2, Olympus E-M10 II and Sony a6000 (we’re leaving Nikon 1 cameras out of the list, as we believe the series is no longer being developed.)
Now this isn’t going to make the Nikon 1 owners happy. I am wondering if Nikon is preparing a new FF mirrorless system or more likely if they will stick to their current DSLR line development only.
