Now let’s talk about latest Tamron patent, Tamorin is working on 100-400mm F2.6-F8.3 for M4/3 sensor. After looking at the aperture range I am bit surprised, having a 8.3 aperture at 400mm end isn’t so normal and you need to have vast amount of light to get clear shots with your lens. But before we begin, I must tell you that I am not impressed with the aperture range of upcoming Tamron 100-400mm lens for M4/3 camera.

Well there are lot people, those who are waiting for Fuji X-T30 camera. As we all know Fuji X-T30 camera is the only camera in Fuji line-up which uses third generation of 26MP Fuji X-Trans sensor. So, its bit obvious for people to wait for next iteration.
It’s bit logical to except a Fuji X-T30 camera from Fuji also, If you look at the announcement pattern of Fuji X-T series Cameras, then you will find a rhythm in their announcement pattern.
Also Keep in mind factors like Target sales unit and Competitors.
In a very simple way if we talk about the possible arrival time of Fuji Next X-T30 camera then we have less than 6 months. Fuji will announce their Fuji X-T30 camera between March to May Months of 2019. Since, Fuji only took only 6 month to announce X-T20 camera after the announcement of Fuji X-T2.
Now let’s. talk it in bit details while considering some other factors.
The First Factor is Target Sales of X-T3
In general other camera companies also follow the same trend and you should aware of that. Once the sales target of a flagship camera is reached and company already earned a good amount from the sales. They announces the affordable version of the same camera to reach out more people and gain more sales.

Fuji X-Pro2, Fuji X-H2 and X-E3 Updates are Due with X-Trans 4
Before we think of getting a affordable X-Trans 4 body in our hand we have to think over that Fuji flagships update are overdue. And if they put X-Trans 4 sensor under affordable body, it will hamper future flagship camera sales.
Fuji Changed its strategy, their only main aim is to lead the APS-C segment despite of taking care of their own flagship cameras, that’s why instead of putting attention towards X-Pro2 update Fuji putting attention towards other model development and announcement. Their only aim is to put best Specs in front of consumers under reasonable price tag.
Fuji X-T30 Early Announcement Depend Upon Competitor offerings
If Sony announces Sony A6700 on NAB or at Photokina 2019 [see first set of leaked specs here] the only way to kill its sale is to put a affordable body in market carrying 26MP X-Trans sensor and with 4K30p recording option under or approx $1000 price range. So, Fuji X-T30 announcement actually depend competitors offerings.
Fuji X-T30 will arrive in 2019 only if Sony announces something better than Fuji X-T3 with lower price tag. Otherwise we have to wait till 2020.
Do share your thoughts with us. Do remember Fuji GFX 100 Official announcement is due for 2019
According to latest rumors Nikon D6 will become available to Professional Photographers starting from this February 2019. Rumor mill also suggest we may see some sort of development announcement at CES Show 2019.

2. Built-in Image Stabilization System inside Nikon D6 ?
Nikon will not put Built-in IS system inside Nikon D6, not for now at least. However we can’t confirm you anything until we get solid set of information from trusted Japanese sources.
According to latest rumors Canon is working to in high-resoltuion fullframe mirrorless camera. The camera is said to feature 75 + Megapixel sensor. However Canon 5DS R is still world highest resolution fullframe camera, since no Fullframe or Mirrorless camera is able to reach or cross the 50MP resolution mark.
So, finally we are getting some more confirmations about Canon Mirrorless camera, it is expected to arrive in the year 2019.
Is it feasible for Canon to load more Megapixel in a camera without putting attention improving dynamic range and low-light performance ? I don’t think so.
Either they have to seek the help of other sensor makers (yes I am talking about Sony) for creating high resolution DPAF BSI Stacked sensors. Or they have to upscale their Sensor tech, Canon already have BSI CMOS sensor patents and they should also use these tech to improve the sensor performance as soon as possible.
Rumor is coming from unconfirmed sources to take it with grain of salt.
