Shriro, the local distributor for Hassy and Broncolor, has been holding low-key roadshows on the new H6D and several other lighting accessories at several camera stores, and having missed out a few weeks ago, I managed to make up for some lost opportunity a day ago. Although, I didn’t get to test it for long periods (I only had around 30 minutes prior to store closing).
Just couldn’t spend enough time on this pro press-grade shooter, nor could I get any original image samples due to lack of CF/CFast cards. Unfortunately, throughout the entire program, Canon HK only supplied ONE single CFast (64GB) card for the pro speakers presentation seminars (more on below) but not in the main showcase venue, so customers hoping to witness the power of CFast were all out of luck.
Canon’s 120MP sensor was initially announced in 2010 and was on display at the 2015 CP+ show. At the 2016 Shanghai Canon Expo, the company had a camera with a 120MP sensor on display. Sone interesting observations:

The Japanese store Fujiya Camera tweeted that the Sigma 85/1.4 EX DG HSM lens is now out of production. A new Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art lens has been rumored for a while – maybe we will finally see an announcement at Photokina in September.

The detailed technical specifications of the rumored Olympus Stylus TG-Tracker action camera leaked online:
The current Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM lens
This summer Canon is rumored to announce a new EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS full frame lens that will replace the current 70-300 model. The official announcement is expected before August.
Interestingly enough, Nikon is also rumored to announce a new Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VRII lens before Photokina.
The previously rumored/leaked Fujinon XF2X TC WR teleconverter and Fujifilm LH-XF23 lens hood for the XF 23mm f/1.4 R lens are now officially released. The US prices are as follow:
It seems that Ricoh will be announcing a new Pentax K-70 camera in the next 30-90 days (most likely during the Photokina show in September). The K-70 model is already registered with the Korean Radio Research Agency (RRA) and it will probably replace the current K-50.
