Last year was something of a vintage year for new cameras, so could 2020 possibly match it? The latest camera rumors suggest there’s a good chance it will, with a range of new models expected from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic and Olympus.
If anything, the latest camera rumors suggest that 2020 is going to be an even more exciting year for photographers, because the mirrorless competition has never been fiercer. Now that Canon, Nikon and Panasonic have fully entered the mirrorless fray, we’ll start to see them build on their early offerings – which means more choice for everyone, from enthusiasts to pros.
Not that the DSLR is going anywhere, for now – new models like the Nikon D780 and Canon 1DX Mark III show that there’s an appetite for producing ‘hybrid’ models that add a mirrorless icing to the traditional DSLR cake.
So what are the biggest and best camera rumors we’ve seen so far this year? We’ve combined everything we know about traditional refresh rates for certain lines with some of the latest leaks to give you this regularly updated round-up of the latest rumors for each manufacturer.
Camera rumors 2020
With Nikon’s full-frame mirrorless Z6 and Z7 cameras now established, and the APS-C Z50 setting itself up as a great contender, could we see a higher-end Z9/Z8 model surface next? Or perhaps a more junior model will join them? And, after a long wait, the Nikon D6 DSLR ihas finally been debuted.
Fujifilm had a busy 2019, with the GFX 100, the X-A7 and the X-Pro3 surfacing recently. 2020 got off to a flying start as well, with the Fujifilm X-T4 joining the ranks along with a new instant camera, not long after X100V and X-T200 were announced. Can we expect Fujifilm to continue this trend through this year?
After kicking off a brand new full-frame mirrorless range with the S1R and S1, and following this up with the S1H more recently, what else does the Japanese electronics giant have in store in the coming year?
Following the arrival of the powerful, pro-grade OM-D E-M1X and the everything-proof TG-6, Olympus refreshed the OM-D E-M5 Mark II. Soon after that speculation built up on whether the company would shutter its camera division. Despite that, Olympus released a new PEN series compact and the new OM-D E-M1 Mark III. Does the camera maker have anything else to offer us this year?
