RUMOR roundup: G9II and two new OM zooms

To recap what we can expect the next months. I believe those three products will be announced within the next 3-4 months:

  • Panasonic G9II
  • 50-200mm f/2.8 PRO
  • 50-250mm f/4.0

Probably also one more OM camera is coming too. Don’t know if Panasonic also plans to announce new MFT lenses…

Strong hints that the G9II might be announced soon!

I got first serious “proof” that a new G9II (or whatever the name will be) is coming “very soon”. The source is very important so unless he is fooling me…the G9 successor is coming within a couple of months!

I have no info on the possible specs yet but surely it will have phase detection AF!

OM Digital recognizes MFT doesn’t sell in China, and want’s to do “something”

A source told me that OM Digital had a deep discussion about what to do to succeed on the Chinese market. And the one major reason for weak sales has been identified: OM Digital doesn’t offer any high megapixel camera. If they want to succeed on the Chinese market future cameras like the E-M1XII need to have a higher resolution sensor.

Let’s see if OM Digital will really make such a camera!
