Godox announced two new mini Flash:

• IM20 at BHphoto
• IM22 at BHphoto

Two new E-mount lenses (I think both might be autofocus) will be announced soon:

• Yongnuo will announce a new YN23mm f/1.4S DA DSM WL Pro APS-C E-mount prime on January 3th
• Brigthin Star will announce a new E-mount prime on January 6th

I don’t have the specs of the Brightin Star yet, but if it’s anything like all the other releases so far, this will again be an inadequate and unexciting addition.

I hope you’ve recovered from your long New Year’s Eve party and are mentally fit enough not to miss this deal :)

I don’t expect any new Alpha gear to be announced that day. But as always, I hope I’m wrong. But even if nothing comes that day, I’m sure the Sony A7V will be announced very soon!

A couple of readers from different European countries have brought to my attention that their national Sony stores have labeled some older Sony cameras as “new”. I have no idea why Sony did this, probably a formatting error on the Sony Europe pages?
