The latest rumors from Japan suggest that Panasonic will soon announce two new cameras that are already being tested:
The Fuji X-H1 camera is rumored to be announced on February 15th according to a report from FujiAddict based on an upcoming Fujifilm sponsored CSTV film:
"The Camera Store TV will be screening a film sponsored by Fujifilm using unannounced equipment at a movie theater in Canada. The unannounced equipment is likely to be the Fujifilm X-H1 and accompanying X-mount MK lenses, which is right in time for our leaked February release date. TCSTV will also be doing a Q&A after the film so don’t miss this opportunity if you are in town."
The Fuji X-H1 camera is expected to start shipping in March. Here are the details on the new camera previously reported by FujiAddict:

The first pictures of the previously rumored Olympus E-PL9 MFT mirrorless camera leaked online (via Digicame-info). The E-PL9 price is expected to be ¥89,640 (tax included, or around $820). Compared to the Olympus E-PL8 camera, the new model has a built-in flash while the accessory port was removed. The official announcement will be during the first week February.
The first picture of the upcoming Fujifilm X-A5 camera with Fujinon XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens leaked online courtesy of Digicame-info. The new Fuji XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is not a pancake and it doesn't have power zoom as some have suggested before (our initial report was correct). The new X-A5 no longer has the focus mode selector on the front, otherwise, it looks identical to the Fuji X-A3 model. Expect the official announcement at the end of January/early February.
Ricoh is rumored to announce a new Pentax K-1 Mark II DSLR camera according to Nokishita (via PentaxRumors).
The Pentax K-1 DSLR was officially announced in February 2016. The price of the camera recently dropped to $1,779.95.
