I don’t know if the recent Kumamoto earthquake did postpone the timing for some single new products. Anyway this is what we can expect to be announced by Olympus before Photokina start:
Olympus E-PL8 (already leaked months ago but announcement delayed due the Kumamoto earthquake)
30mm f/3.5 MFT macro lens
25mm f/1.2 PRO Zuiko MFT lens.
New PRO standard zoom
Olympus E-M1II (maybe shipment will be postponed til early 2017 due the Kumamoto eartquake)

Nick: “Avid reader and just spotted the other day that you guys featured a travel video! I only thought you freatured photos so that was really cool to see. If it interests you here is a short video I made of a year backpacking around Japan, China, North Korea, Mongolia, Russia and Eastern Europe with my Em5 Mk2. Would love if you could take a look: https://vimeo.com/158237821“

Ramiro: “This video about Berlin https://vimeo.com/163061282 is the first video from ‘Street Cinematography Series’ (SCS) that will show cities round the world. It was made with the Panasonic GH4 using v-log profile and SLR Magic Anamorphot 50 1.33x lens adapter. More videos coming soon!”
Kai: “Floating timeless sea characters and beautiful jellyfish in a meditative film – with classical music. Kind of underwater love and diving impressions. Shot with Panasonic Lumix GH4 and Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 12-40 mm 1:2.8 Pro lens for Micro Four Thirds – with incredible sharpness through the glas of the aquarium. Free hand shot, no stabilisation, few colour corrections. Shot in: Nordsea Aquarium Borkum, Germany. Hope you like and enjoy it :) https://youtu.be/AIKQGQLfkoQ“
Well this is a first and worth to be mentioned on 43rumors: Hasselblad is the first company launching a new medium format mirrorless system camera with autofocus lenses. The X1D-50c costs $9,000 (here at BH).
The time is near when “some people” will argue that FF sensors aren’t big enough ;)
