If you believe the Internet, Samsung is now also making sensors for Fuji/Pentax/Ricoh

In addition to making full frame sensors for Panasonic (?) and coming back with their own new mirrorless camera (?), Samsung is apparently now also making APS-C sensors for… Fujifilm and also Ricoh/Pentax… The source?

List of questionable reports about new products “rumored” to be announced for Photokina

As I already reported, the Sony product announcement at the IBC 2018 show yesterday was not photography related: Sony announced only two new camcorders (HXR-NX200 and HDC-3500). No new Sony a6500 replacement or a Sony a7sIII cameras were announced at the IBC show yesterday as some websites have suggested. There was also no Zeiss Batis 40mm f/2 CF […]

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 […]

About the “debunked rumor” for a Sony camera with a 36MP APS-C sensor

A known clickbait site today “debunked” a “fake rumor” about a new Sony camera with a 36MP APS-C sensor. The only problem here is that this same site reported that exact same rumor last year, twice: So yea, don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, especially when it’s coming from clickbait sites with a well-established history […]
