It’s summertime in the northern hemisphere. And usually companies do not announce new cameras and lenses during that hot vacation time. Well, it seems like Panasonic Olympus and Sony have other plans!
Panasonic: They are rumored to announce one new MFT lens and probably also a new camera (GX8?) by end of July!
Olympus: They will announce the new E-M10II in August!
Sony: It looks like the delayed A7000 cameras is also due for an announcement in August already!
We hope to get specs or even leaked images of these new cameras soon!

You just made this mirrorless plunge so much harder.. :c
The new releases are always a good opportunity to pick up the prev-gen cameras at bargain prices. The price drop often happens already after the announcement.
GX8 in July vs A7000 in August. That’d be fun to watch.
It’ll be interesting to see if this camera can compete with nx1. If it has a new bsi sensor (derived from the ff one in a7-r ii) it could be a good competitor. We’ll see.
Sony A7000 – how long have we been waiting for this illusive thing 馃檪 I would say next summer
sony A7000 wont have shutter speed of 1/8000 becoz it can creat problem for sony full frame cameras in business. i really wish that sony has this thing too and cooling fan coz there was heating problem in sony alpha 6000. most of sony device like sony viao computer has such problem,why sony company does not fix this problem,i even cant understand.may be its coincident only.hope new camera has lot of feather than that of other camera and suitable lens mount which is compatilble for sony A mount lens.
> why sony company does not fix this problem, i even cant understand.
Overheating is one of the hardest problems to address, while one of those which rarely occur to (or can be identified as such by) the casual user.
Sony right now in a rush to take as much of the market as possible, so they throw everything at it, leading to poorly integrated products. Quirky handling and overheating problems are precisely the types of problems which would creep up in a poorly integrated product. And yet, since Sony throws every tech gimmick in, they generate enough news splash among users to make them popular.
^Sony right now in a rush to take as much of the market as possible,
its right,sony is applying lots of effort to attract customer.they have best lens partners like carl zeiss.there products have more features(fast focusing like).i wish they work together with Photoshop to give better result ,it will definately help to catch market.
Well if A7000 will not have 1/8000th and Ibis, I will change the brand definitely. I do not want any FF camera, I want an APSC with high skills and same comfort as A7-2. Apsc is Apsc and FF is FF, there is no way to compare that and to challenge it, even if FF was at 999$ for the A7-2 body, I would no go for it. I want a small performant gear with small performant lenses, that is all. If I want big gear I go for a new D800 to replace mine or a similar camera in FF. I wait what Sony brings in the A99 style, a FF dslr style heavy camera for Pro use, not a lightweight small A7 mirrorless.
may be nikon 1 j5,speed master,it has 1/16000 of shutter speed.it could be your choices. problems for such camera are they have different type of mount for which particular lens are very much expensive and with adapter we have to bear some quality compromise.i wish too that sony had 1/8000 shutter speed but ,,……. lets hope for the best.
