Finally cameras: Both Sony and Nikon are likely to announce new cameras in March! Here is what to expect…

CP+ show has been a bit lame, with only a couple of lenses announced. Companies really want to announce their BIG stuff OFF such events to get the full spotlight. And Sony and Nikon will indeed have big announcements in March:

  1. The new Nikon Z 8 might be announced in March. Yifei reports that a big Nikon dealer has been called in for a meeting with Nikon.
  2. Sony will announce a new ZV Full Frame cameras. More details will be unveiled soon on this youtube channel.

 

No cameras but lots of lenses announced at the CP+ show: Sony 50mm GM, Tamron 11-20mm new Voigtlander and more!

CP+ show is about to start and the focus is clearly on new lenses. Canon, Nikon, Fuji and Sony will make no camera announcement neither :(

Here are the latest news:

  • Tamron announced the new 11-20mm f/2.8 for Fujifilm X
