Those are the very first images of the new Leica M, Zeiss Otus, Mamiya, Schneider-Kreuznach to Fuji GFX adapters. You can also see image samples shot with it and as you can see those lenses do really cover the full GFX image circle:

Looks like Canon is really becoming serious with their mirrorless proposals: Next week they will announce the new EOS-M6!

BHphoto postponed the shipment start of the GFX from February 23 to March 1. But don’t worry, while some delay or production shortage can be expected we will not get a six months delay like it happened with the Hasselblad X1D.
CIPA just plublished the camera shipment data for the months of December. Ans look here folks: After four years of continuous camera shipment reduction this is the first time I see that camera shipments in one month were better(!) than the month of the year before!
And now to two more interesting details:
2) Surprise: Even the December compact camera shipments were greater than the year before!
Finally it seems we have reached the bottom of the four-year long camera market crisis?
Just a quick head-up. A “certain website” wrote that Sony’s next A7 mark III camera will replace both the A7II and A7sII. I saw that “rumor” going aroudn the forums and social networks. This is just a heads-up to say that this rumor is 100% wrong. Sony will continue to keep the two lines well separated.
It’s unconfirmed yet but the Sony A7III is likely to hit the stores this summer. While the A7sIII will feature a somehow “improved” body design with larger body and dual card slot.

Nokishita confirmed that Canon will announce a new external viewfinder in February: It’s the EVF-DC2 and it will be available in Black and Silver. It’s also highly likely that Canon will either introduce a new EOS-M camera or/and a new high end compact camera.
At last some good news from Hasselblad. The X1D is now shipping in “larger quantity”. But I wonder how many of those who preordered the X1D canceled their order to get the Fuji GFX…
