Two new Fuji cameras were registered at the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. As Nokishita points out, these could be the X100F (X100T replacement) and X-T20 (X-T10 replacement) that could be announced in early 2017 at the CES show in January or at the CP+ show in February. I expect both the Fuji X100F and Fuji X-T20 to have the new 24MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor found in the X-Pro2 ($1,549) and X-T2 ($1,799). Both cameras will obviously have built-in Wi-Fi:

Canon is rumored to announce a new EF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (replacement for the current Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens pictured above). The new version is expected to be lighter and to have a new IS system and upgraded optics. This should not be a surprise since Nikon recently announced their new Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens.
