43rumors reader Xavier just sent me this:

A Chinese company called YI Technology is said to announce a new MFT camera on 19th Sept. This company was partnered with the famous Chinese electronics company Xiaomi and announced some good action cams in the past (including one 4K action cam with LED screen recently).
The image attached seems to be the invitation letter for the announcement (collected from Chinese social platform so might not be real). However it clearly indicates an interchangeable lens camera to be announced. Also the sensor would likely be provided by Panasonic from who shared this image.
It seems that we are going to have a budget alternative with great specs (at least on paper as usual for this brand) very soon!

Thanks Xavier!

I Just got this info:

with preproduction cameras the hand held high resolution only works with lenses that have stabilization as the IBIS cannot handle both stabilization and pixel shift currently. The production firmware is planned to fix it before release.

.

In exactly one week on September 19 (next Monday) Panasonic and Olympus will announce their new MFT stuff:

1. At 12:30 Berlin time Panasonic will have the press conference
2. At 18:00 Berlin time Olympus will have the press conference

Olympus will have a video live streaming you can follow live here on 43rumors!

And so far this is what we will get on that day according to our sources:

1. Panasonic G8x (name not 100% final yet). G85 specs in a G7 body. With 4:2:2 8bit internal 4K recording
2. Panasonic GH5 pre-production version. Panasonic will “pre-announce” the non final GH5 camera. It records 4k at 4:2:2 10bit on SD cards.
3. Olympus E-M1II: 4K, hand-held high-resolution mode, dual SD card slot. Unconfirmed yet if it has a Olympus designed sensor
4. Olympus 30mm f/3.5 macro, 25mm f/1.2 and 12-100mm f/4.0 PRO lens
5. Panasonic will also announce new lenses

Be sure to join the GH5 Facebook group.
