Leaked photos and video show the first “OM System” branded gear is the M.Zuiko 20mm f/1.4 Pro

The change of brand from Olympus to OM System was announced just over a week ago. We were told that new items would start to pop up with the new branding and that existing items would transition over from Olympus branding to OM System branding as old stocks dwindled and new ones were being made. So, we’d still see the Olympus name for a little while.

Now, though, leaked photos and a leaked video show the first new piece of kit with the OM System branding. And it’ll be the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 20mm F1.4 Pro lens for Micro Four Thirds – a lens added to the Olympus roadmap last September.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II lens images have leaked ahead of announcement

by Leave a Comment

This one’s been a long time coming and long rumoured, but it look like Sony might finally be getting ready to announce a 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS successor. Nokishita has posted a couple of photos and diagrams of a 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II to Twitter, suggesting that we might be getting pretty close to an official announcement.

The images aren’t terribly high resolution but show an array of switches for OSS on/off and mode, AF vs MF, focus range, aperture click on/off and various other features. We also see three control rings for zoom, focus and aperture. No specs have managed to find their way out yet, although I guess we may find out as soon as tomorrow.

Photos and specs leak for GoPro HERO 10: 5.3K video and improved performance

by 3 Comments

GoPro is soon to announce the HERO 10, its next flagship camera. As it usually happens, some details have already leaked, telling us more about it before the official launch. The recently leaked photos show us that the HERO 10 will have the same design as its predecessor, the HERO 9. But there will reportedly be some improvements, too.

First “in the wild” photo leaks of DJI’s new “Pro Camera” with built-in gimbal

by 2 Comments

Well, we’ve seen a few renders of it in the past, but now it looks like we have the first photo of the DJI “Pro Camera” out in the wild. A bunch of leaked renders came out in April, courtesy of OsitaLV. Now, both OsitaLV and Kanzhaji has come through leaking a photo of the real thing (likely a pre-production prototype) actually in use.

It’s been a long while coming and now seeing photos of the real deal suggests that we might be getting close to an announcement. The camera shown in the photograph looks virtually identical to those leaked in April, so it’s probably been pretty close to done for a while – at least as far as the hardware goes.

Photos show Nikon Z9 prototype spotted at the Tokyo Olympics

by Leave a Comment

There might not have been any mirrorless cameras shown off in the behind the scenes tour of the NPS vault at the Tokyo Olympics (Nikon has since clarified that it does contain Nikon Z6 II and Z7 II bodies), but there has been a new one spotted out shooting actual events. Photos were posted to Twitter (and then deleted) by Photolari, and judging from the design, it can’t be anything but the Nikon Z9.

Fortunately, the folks at DC-Info saved the images and shared them before the tweet was deleted. The images show only the rear of the camera, but given the layout, it’s obviously one with a built-in vertical grip. Given that Nikon has yet to release a mirrorless camera with a built-in vertical grip and it’s definitely not a Nikon D6, that really only leaves one option.

Price & release date for Panasonic 25-50mm f/1.7 leaked by Amazon ahead of announcement

 

Well, it looks like Panasonic might have also had an announcement originally planned for today, too – which was no doubt delayed for the same reason as Sony once somebody realised the significance of the date in Japan and China.

The reason it looks like this might have been the case is that Panasonic’s new 25-50mm f/1.7 lens popped up for pre-order on Amazon briefly today, complete with specs and a price, before an official announcement from Panasonic. And it seems to tally up with the recent leak.

Specs leak for upcoming Panasonic Leica 25-50mm f/1.7 – announcement maybe this week

Last week, the above image leaked of the upcoming Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7 ASPH Micro Four Thirds lens, first mentioned during the Panasonic GH6 development announcement. Now, Nokishita (who else?) has leaked some of the specs for the new lens, which is expected to “probably” be announced sometime this week.

Whether or not we’ll actually hear an official announcement this week remains to be seen, but it certainly is an attractive looking lens. If the Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm f/1.7 ASPH price of around $1,800 is anything to go by, though, it definitely won’t be cheap!

by Leave a Comment

Photos have leaked for a Ricoh WG-7. It’s a waterproof compact camera that will replace the Ricoh WG-6 which was announced in 2019. The leaked photos come via Nokishita, who say that an announcement for the camera is expected on June 17th, with shipping beginning on July 9th.

According to their post on Twitter, the new Ricoh WG-7 will shoot 4K video and features a webcam function for streaming HD video. They say it can also handle being submerged underwater for 2 hours at a depth of up to 20 metres (~65 feet).

Leaked images show Nikon’s retro-inspired Zfc APS-C mirrorless camera has a flippy out LCD

by 13 Comments

It seems an odd move so early in the game when Nikon is still building out its mirrorless camera range, but it looks like they’re releasing a follow up to their retro-styled DSLR, the Nikon Df. Sort of. According to some leaked specs and photos, there are going to be some significant differences between the Nikon Df and the anticipated Nikon Zfc.

For a start, naturally, it’s switching from being a DSLR to a mirrorless camera. It’s also rumoured to be an APS-C camera, not a full-frame, more closely resembling the Nikon Z50 rather than a flagship model. And it will have a flippy out LCD, suggesting that it will most certainly offer video features unlike the Nikon Df, which offered none.

More photos and prices leak for Olympus PEN E-P7 – official announcement expected this week

More photos of the upcoming Olympus PEN E-P7 have leaked, along with prices. At least, the Japan prices, which start at ¥93,500 (~$855) for the body only, and a kit lens option bundled together with the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ lens for ¥107,800 (~$986). Speaking of lenses, the new Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 Pro is expected to be $1,099.

The images and prices come via 43Rumors, and an official announcement is expected to come on June 9th. Interestingly, Nokishita seems to be slacking on the Olympus leaks, although it seems that OM Digital Solutions isn’t any better at preventing them than any other manufacturer.
