The rumour mill gets a little quieter as Nokishita disappears from Twitter

by Add Comment

Serial leakers, Nokishita appear to have shut down their Twitter account. Not just no longer posting, but completely gone, history, no more. Given the error message of “This account doesn’t exist”, rather than something that specifically notes “Account Suspended” suggests that the move was made voluntarily.

Nokishita did previously announce that the Nokishita account may be deleted “one day”, shown in the Wayback Machine screenshot below, which was recently updated to the new year period and it looks like they’ve made good on that promise.

Side-by-side leaked photos show Panasonic GH5 II exterior is basically identical to the GH5

by Add Comment

With an announcement expected tomorrow, it wasn’t much of a surprise that GH5 Mark II images have leaked early. Nokishita posted a couple of tweets leaking product photos of the GH5 Mark II over the last few days. Not surprisingly, there are no photos of a GH6, backing up the idea that if the GH6 is mentioned at all during Panasonic’s online event, it will simply be a development announcement.

But what can we see from the photos about the new GH5 Mark II? Well, not a lot really. It’s largely identical to the existing Panasonic GH5. It still has all the same buttons, dials and ergonomics, although a couple of the labels have changed.

Sony has registered a new camera body – could be the Sony A7 IV

by 8 Comments

According to a tweet from Nokishita, Sony has registered a new camera body, labelled WW734234 with an overseas certification body.  It’s equipped with 5Ghz/2.4Ghz WiFi and Bluetooth. It’s the second currently unreleased-but-registered body we know of, alongside WW356015 (which also has 2.4Ghz WiFi and Bluetooth).

They also confirmed that these aren’t the recently announced A7R IIIa and A7R IVa (which are basically the old A7R III and A7R IV but with a higher resolution LCD). The A7R IVa is WW447485/WW778752 and the A7R IIIa is WW186333. It’s been suggested that the new code could be the Sony A7 IV.

OM Digital has registered a new camera body in China

by 2 Comments

OM Digital Solutions – the new owners of what used to be the Olympus camera division – has registered a new camera, codenamed “IM024” in China. According to the registration, it’s equipped with 2.4Ghz WiFi and Bluetooth, but there isn’t much other information besides that yet.

Exactly what is coming is unknown, although OM Digital Solutions has repeatedly said that they want to invigorate the brand and has plans to release “many” new products in 2021. We might even see a lean towards video, which is something JIP stated last September before the transition to OM Digital was completed.

Sigma registers a new “fp L” L mount camera body in Korea

by Add Comment

Another one from Nokishita. It appears Sigma has registered a new Sigma fp L camera body in Korea. There’s no real information about it yet except for the fact that it’s been registered, although it appears that we might be able to expect another camera soon from Sigma. Perhaps as soon as the end of this month when CP+ (virtually) begins in Japan later this month.

The Sigma fp, released in 2019, has been fairly well accepted (not adopted, but accepted), given the lack of any real customer base for Sigma outside of its lenses for non-L Mount cameras. It did pretty well in Japan, though – at least on launch. But while it has seen some success, it hasn’t brought people to L mount in droves.

Sony now has five camera models registered that they still haven’t officially announced

by Add Comment

Nokishita hasn’t been as fast and furious with the early leaks of late as they usually are, but they haven’t disappeared. They’ve still been keeping a close eye on what’s going on in the world of photography. And they’ve been paying particular attention to Sony, it seems.

They spotted a new Sony body registration, and know of four more other model code numbers for cameras that Sony hasn’t released yet. And yes, they’ve confirmed that none of the five unknown models definitely isn’t the recently released Sony A1.

Images of Fuji’s new GF80mm, XF27mm and XF70-300mm lenses leak ahead of official announcement

by Add Comment

Fujifilm has announced that their upcoming Fujifilm X Summit is happening on January 27th at 1pm GMT. At the X Summit, Fuji is expected to announce their new 102-megapixel Fujifilm GFX100S camera, along with three new lenses; the GF80mm, XF70mm and XF70-300mm.

There hasn’t been a whole lot of info leaked about any of the upcoming announcements yet, and while I haven’t seen any real photos of the camera leaked, Nokishita has leaked images of the three impending lenses.

Canon EOS 1DX Mark III added to Canon’s latest product list

by 3 Comments

According to a Tweet sent out by Nokishita, the upcoming Canon EOS 1DX Mark III along with the WFT-E9 wireless file transmitter have been added to Canon’s latest product list. They believe that they have been added to the list a little ahead of an official announcement in anticipation of the Christmas and New Year holidays.

That they’ve been added to the list, though, suggests that we may hear an official announcement very soon. This may happen in as little as two weeks, when CES kicks off on January 7th.

Leica’s White Edition M10-P is now official and it’ll cost you close to $17,000

by 14 Comments

When images first leaked of a white Leica, I thought it looked absolutely stunning. I knew it was going to be well outside of my budget, but I didn’t expect the price tag it’s been given. The White Edition Leica M10-P has now been officially announced. A US price was not released, but the UK price is £12,750, which works out to around $16,700. Of course, you don’t just get the camera for this price. No, that would be silly. You also get a silver chrome Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens.
