What to expect at PMA 2012 show next week?

• Nikon will introduce their top of the line D4 + a new Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G lens.
• Canon will probably announce new lenses and maybe a DSLR + compact(s).
• Sony will show only few new Cybershot point and shoot cameras.
• Panasonic may announce a new Lumix GH3 camera and will probably have their upcoming Lumix X lenses on display.
• Fujifilm will have their new mirrorless interchangeable lens camera on display (see the latest leaked picture). The official announcement will probably happen in February 2012.
• Samsung already announced one new compact camera. Expected is also a TL500/EX1 replacement and the mirrorless interchangeable Samsung NX20 camera. There could be a surprise from Samsung - they may introduce a second NX camera.
• Update: Sigma will probably announce new mirrorless lenses.

Nikon and Fujifilm will basically steal the show this year. Olympus and Pentax/Ricoh also have new cameras scheduled for 2012 release (K-r is discontinued), but I don't think they will show anything new at PMA.

Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm and Panasonic have press conference scheduled for January 8th.
