The 2015 CP+ show is now officially over. Here are some pictures from many of the newly announced products:
Sony did not announce any new products during their press conference yesterday at the CP+ show in Japan. I believe Sony is the only company that did not reveal a single photography product during the 2015 CES and CP+ shows (with the exception of new action cameras). Sony was expected to release several new FE full frame mirrorless lenses. The company’s last “serious” announcement was the a7II camera at the end of November.
I personally would love to see a new Sony RX2 camera or at least a firmware update for the RX1.
Update – here are few videos of the new Sony FE lenses:
The 120MP CMOS APS-H sensor Canon was on display at the 2015 CP+ show is nothing new – it was already officially announced back in 201o. The 2.2 µm pixel pitch sensor (29.2mm x 20.2mm, 13280×9184 pixels) can get 9.5fps “made possible by reading multiple pixels simultaneously at high speeds – a process Canon is calling parallel signal processing‘”.
You can now get a Ricoh GR camera on eBay for $479.99 (regular price: $596.95 – $696.95).
Maybe Ricoh is trying to get rid of their inventory and make space for a new model?
At the 2015 CP+ show in Japan, Fuji showed several new lenses that are part of the updated 2015 roadmap:
The other pictured lenses are: XF 16mm f/1.4, XF 90mm f/2, XF and 100-400mm (aperture not yet announced).
Additional images:
Three new companies joined the Micro Four Thirds System Standard Group – including the drone maker DJI that already produced several models with a 14MP, 1080p HD camera. Maybe we will see drones with MFT cameras in the future?
The new Olympus E-M5 II is currently in stock at Amazon (via third party reseller, available also in silver). The Amazon listing also mentions the three upcoming Olympus MFT lenses:
“Scheduled to arrive 2015 and onward are the M.ZUIKO Digital ED 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO, M.ZUIKO Digital ED 300mm f/4 PRO and M.ZUIKO Digital ED 8mm Fisheye PRO”
According to B&H the camera should start shipping in the US on February 27, 2015.
