The next announcements from Sony is probably coming very soon…

Sony A9 will ship by end of May at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, Calumet.de. Park UK. Wex UK. Jessops.

The A9 rumble is still ongoing on the web. But it seems like Sony is not done yet and we are receiving hints about another announcement coming soon. Probably within the next 4-6 weeks Sony will announce some new E-mount lenses and probably one new camera too. We got no solid info about possible specs but so more in general some of this stuff might be announced soon:

16-35mm f/2.8 GM (very likely)
new RX camera
new 135mm FE lens

What’s definitely NOT coming yet is a new A9r or a new A7III.

Next Olympus and Panasonic cameras…

So what’s coming next for the MFT folks?

  1. Olympus will announce a new E-M10III camera sometimes this summer.
  2. Olympus will also announce one or two new f/1.2 PRO MFT lenses this year
  3. Panasonic will announce a new MFT camera this fall (maybe a new GX or GM)
  4. Panasonic will also release the new 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 Leica lens this fall (see lens in the middle on the image on top)

So far that’s all we know!

This camera beats the Sony A9 and shoots five trillion images per second

There is the Megapixel race, the High ISO race and in those days the talk is all about frames per second race. The Sony A9 killed the headlines with the amazing 20fps shooting without blackout.

But just for fun…did you ever wonder what’s the fastest camera on earth? Well here it is:

A research group at Lund University in Sweden has developed a camera that can film at a rate equivalent to five trillion images per second, or events as short as 0.2 trillionths of a second. This is faster than has previously been possible.

Latest rumors on Fuji: new 200mm lens in the works and X80 coming by end of this year!

We got two new Fuji rumors:

  1. Fujrumors reports there will be a new 200mm lens in 2018.
  2. New X80 APS-C fixed lens camera will be announced by end 2017.

One more Fuji rumors: Do you know that Fuji has one more BIG camera announcement by end of this year or early 2018 at max? it’s the High End X-T camera trimmed for speed and video. Well this camera will also feature a new X-Trans sensor!
