We have a couple of MFT news coming from the NAB show:
Blackmagic announced two new MFT cameras. The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera and the Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K.
Panasonic will release a new firmware for the GH4 by end of this month. It adds in camera support for anamorphic shooting, improved HDMi out and V-LOG.
Matthew Allard and Eric Naso posted those pictures of the new Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera that will be announced today at Las Vegas NAB show. It’s a Micro Four Thirds 4K camera with 13 stops of dynamic range and RAW recording.
Quite an amazing toy! Price and other specs are yet unknown but will be unveiled at 9.30am Las Vegas time!
If you were hoping to get an APS-C or even FF mirrorless camera from Nikon you will have to digest that. In an interview at Dpreview Nikon said:
We still believe that Nikon 1 has room for further evolution. This is the area we want to put effort in to, rather than making bigger sensor mirrorless cameras.
We have two different categories: the D-line and the 1-series, and with these lineups, we believe we’ll meet all the needs of customers.

We have two new Fuji rumors:
Fujirumors says that the new XF90mm f/2.0 lens will be announced in July. And it’s rumored to become the best Fuji prime lens to date. Fujirumors also reports that the X-Pro2 will have a 1/8000 mechanical shutter.
Really hope it will not take a long time to get my hands on the X-PRO2. It’s now a lot of time I am waiting for it to be announced!
