The rumored Panasonic GH5s camera was not supposed to be announced today

By PR admin | Published: December 8, 2017


Today several readers were confused and asked me about the Panasonic GH5s announcement. When I broke the GH5s news, I reported that the launch date is expected to be either in January or February 2018. My personal guess is that the new camera will be announced either for the CES show in Las Vegas (January 9-12) or for the CP+ show in Japan (March 1-4). I am not sure who made up the December 8th announcement date, but it is obviously not correct. Here is a recap of what to expect in the new GH5s:

Fujifilm X-T3, X-H1 and GFX 100s rumors update

By PR admin | Published: December 5, 2017


Here is the latest info on the rumored Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-H1 cameras from FujiAddict:

Fujifilm X-T3 to come at Photokina 2018 with a new processor, which is where the X-H1 confusion came from. X-H1 will have the same processor as the X-T2. The max framerate will be 4k 60p for the X-T3, while the X-H1 max frame rate will be 4k 30p and 1080 120p, which is a little disappointing. The Fujifilm X-H1 will use the Fujifilm WP-126s battery which is also disappointing. It sounds like the X-H will only be special in the sense that it offers very special video-centric image quality via simulations.

Here is some info on the Fujifilm GFX 100s medium format camera:
