In June/July we will get the new ZV-E10II. The real interesting cameras will be announced in second half of 2024:

• In Q3 a new FX camera ( likely FX9 successor ) and a new Alpha camera (maybe new A7sIV)
• In Q4 probably another Alpha (A7V?) and maybe another “Unexpected” camera.

So one of the cameras might be “unexpected”. This is still an unconfirmed rumor (trusted sources did not say

A newly published patent discloses the design of a new Viltrox 28mm pancake lens. It’s an autofocus Full Frame lens but there is no info about the possible aperture. Hope it’s f/2.8 like that nice Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM Lens !

Pentax officially announced the new Pentax 17 film camera. You can reorder it now at BHphoto , Adorama , FotoErhardt . A hands-on report can be read on Explora .

Call me crazy, but I have always dreamed of a Sony E-mount film camera. Imagine being able to use all the superb E-mount glass on a film camera. I think it would create instant excitement among the community. Feel free to laugh at my proposal in the comment system, but I remain convinced that Sony needs some

You get the Rokinon 24mm f/2.8 Full Frame autofocus E-mount lens for $189 only at Amazon US (Click here) . That’s the lowest price ever on this pancake lens.

One more deal: $1150 on the reconditioned Sony A1 cameras sold by Amazon (90 day warranty included) .

Nikon announced the new Z6III (specs and preorders at BHphoto , Amazon , Adorama , FotoErhardt , WexUK ). The one curious new feature is that it features the world’s first “partially stacked CMOS sensor”. PetaPixel writes:

While highly performant, a fully stacked image sensor is also costly. Nikon says a partially stacked design offers some of the benefits of a stacked sensor without all the expense. These benefits include faster autofocus performance, reduced rolling shutter, a smoother electronic viewfinder experience, swifter shooting speeds

Today Nikon will announce the new Nikon Z6III (here is the BHphoto page). I will post some information about it when it becomes official at 2 p.m. Berlin time. A Chinese account has leaked images and specifications.

But there is another rumor circulating that seems quite unusual: the Nikon Z6III will use a new 24MP sensor from Sony that will also be used on the future Sony A7sIV. This seems strange because so far Sony has always exclusively used the new sensors

Cosina officially announced the new Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f/1.5 E-mount lens. It will be available for reorder in July. Price should be $899 like the existing M and RF mount versions .

A decade ago Sony launched the QX10 , QX30 and QX100 E-mount cameras (see the image on top). The idea was that you could mount it on your smartphone and use E-mount lenses and a larger sensor to get better picture. The QX100 was the flagship model using a 1 inch sensor.

Now a Chinese company is reviving that very same idea and it has launched the SwitchLens project on Kickstarter (Click here) . It allows MFT lenses to
