Panasonic will announce a new GH4 camera on February 7th - maybe this will be the 4k prototype they had on display during CES.

Pentax

HD-Pentax-DA-1.4x-AW-AF-Teleconverter
For now we have only one leaked teleconverter from Pentax.

Sony

Sony will most likely announce a new super-zoom bridge camera with a very fast processor, a new compact and one mirrorless model.

Canon

There is not much information on what Canon will announce for the CP+ show. There were some rumors for a new Canon G1 X Mark II camera. It seems that after all the buzz, there will not be a new Canon EOS 7D Mark II and the most likely scenario for CP+ will be a new entry level DSLR camera. A new DSLR with a global shutter capable of 2.5k video is also rumored, but it is not clear if it will be announced for CP+.

Nikon
