The new Canon EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR camera and WFT-E9 were just added to the latest Canon's internal product list. This is an indication that pre-orders could start within one month:
キャノンの最新の商品リストに「EOS-1D X Mark III」と「WFT-E9」が追加。年末年始なので早めに追加した可能性もあるが、いつも通りなら1か月以内に予約開始されるはず。 #噂

DxO NIK Collection 2 sale is ending tomorrow:
The Japanese website Newswitch (part of Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, one of the leading daily newspapers in Japan) published an article called "Large deficit camera business, criteria to determine whether Olympus will withdraw or survive" (Google translation) where the Olympus president Yasuo Takeuchi was quoted saying that Olympus needs a video business:
"To maximize Olympus' corporate value, we need a video business today, but we can't say for sure next year. The ultimate deciding factor is whether it will be long-term corporate value."
UPDATE: Takeuchi didn't talk about "video" business specifically. Instead, he mentioned "映像事業" which is their camera business. So, the more precise translation is:
"We need our camera business to maximize Olympus's current corporate value. But I can't say now whether we will need the camera business next year. We will make an ultimate decision based on whether the camera business will be a long term corporate value (for us)."
There were a few other quotes from Olympus executives explaining how important the imaging business is for the company:
The new Zenitar 50mm f/0.95 E full-frame lens for Sony E-mount (Zenitar 0,95/50) is now in stock at the official Zenit US website and at Amazon (see all Zenit lenses sold at Amazon).

CanonRumors published a leaked picture of a strange new silver (white?) Canon 1DX DSLR camera that doesn't look like anything available on the market today. Maybe this is a prototype or some kind of a DIY project or it could also be that Canon is planning to release a silver/white/gray 1DX version. What do you think?
The CES show is coming soon (January 7-10) and Sony already has their press conference scheduled for January 6th, 2020 at 5:00 EST. You can watch the live stream here (maybe we will get the already leaked Sony a7S III LOL).
Panasonic will also have a press event on January 6th (10:00 – 10:45 am).
