Rumours are suggesting that Panasonic could be about to launch a series of full-frame mirrorless cameras to compete with Sony, Nikon and Canon — and they could be based on the chassis of the m4/3 GH5 which is almost certainly big enough. And the Leica L-mount is tipped as the basis of the new system. But, then again, these are just rumours. It’s no coincidence, either, that the lens on this GH5 is the Leica-branded 12-60mm DG Vario-Elmarit. It could constitute a precedent.
Full-frame frenzy as Photokina opens its doors

MacFilos at Ten: 2,500 blog posts and as many new friends
Macfilos is ten today. When I started in 2008 my main purpose was to write about Apple — Macs, iPhones, iPads — but I soon turned to my lifelong interest in photography as a main theme. Not many blogs last for ten years and even fewer aim to publish at least one article a day. Someone once told me that consistency is the key to success and I know from occasional lapses that if I miss a day it is very difficult to get back into the routine. Nevertheless, Macfilos is a joy and a comfort rather than a treadmill.
Read MoreNikon finally accepts that mirrorless is here to stay
August 23, 2018 will be seen as a watershed in the world of photography as Nikon at last joins the fray. So-called mirrorless cameras have truly come of age and the market can now be said to be mature. The next ten years, with intense competition especially in the full-frame sector, will be exciting

Nikon 1: An unconscionable time dying
The Nikon 1 system, introduced exactly seven years ago, has finally popped its clogs. It’s been a long, slow death and this is a shame because the camera had great potential and paved the way for the current craze of lightweight, one-inch sensor compacts.
