Canon Rumors, Nikon Rumors, Sony Rumors, and more Camera Rumors !
how2fly (@camerainsider) posted a spec list and three photos for a Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS | Contemporary. Sigma has not announced the lens. DC is Sigma’s APS-C line, and the lineup shot puts the new barrel next to the existing 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN and 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN.
The only weight in the post is 390 g for Sony E. No other mount, no price, and no ship date are in that post.

Canon Rumors says an EOS R7 V is in Canon’s pipeline, with a current announcement window of Q4 2027 or Q1 2028. That sits behind the still-unannounced EOS R7 Mark II, which CR continues to place in Q1 2027. There is no sensor, no body, and no price on the V.
The site says the name has shown up in roadmap presentations. The only other camera named in that same telling is the EOS R10 Mark II, which CR thinks is also an early-2027 announcement. Specs CR has heard for the R7 Mark II are being held back: the site says it is not confident enough to publish them.

Nikon has made the compact Z5 official. The Z5IIC is a flat-top, full-frame Z body at $1,399.95 body-only, or $1,699.95 with the NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3. You can pre-order at B&H Photo Video. Nikon USA says it ships in mid-October 2026. Retailers will also offer soft bundles with the 26mm f/2.8 pancake and the 40mm f/2.
The “C” is the point. Nikon says it stands for casual, and the camera omits a viewfinder so the top stays flat. Against the Z5II (134 × 100.5 × 72 mm, about 700 g with battery), this body is 134 × 80.5 × 72 mm and 620 g with battery and card (538 g body only). Same 24.5MP BSI sensor and EXPEED 7. Shorter by the hump.

Canon Rumors is putting the EOS R7 Mark II in Q1 2027, and it is still saying the camera is not a 2026 product. The site first parked the body outside this year in April. This update is a window, not a spec sheet.
The timing comes from a source CR calls fairly reliable: anonymous for years, right more often than not. CR has been leaning toward a launch ahead of CP+ in late February, on the idea that a high-volume APS-C body would want that show. A second source did not have a date, and only described the camera as a “massive” step for Canon’s APS-C line. No sensor, burst rate, or price is attached to either tip.

The name is now on Nikon’s own sites, not just in a rumor post. Nikon Rumors says Z5IIC listings started appearing on Nikon web pages, and posted screenshots of a Nikon Germany launch offer plus a Nikon Imaging Japan event filter that treats Z5IIC as a camera you can tick, next to the Z5II.
That is a step on from Friday’s “next week” item. NR has also tightened the spec list: no viewfinder (the bump hedge is gone), IBIS, a new AF subject class called Fish, black or silver-top editions, and a date — September 24.

Nikon Rumors says Nikon will announce a Z5IIC next week — a compact full-frame body aimed at Sony’s a7C series. The name is NR’s spelling; it reads as a compact Z5II, not a confirmed product code. Nikon has not posted a camera, a price, or a photo of this body.
The list NR is willing to print is short: full-frame 24 MP, “new video features” with no codecs or frame rates attached, and a viewfinder line that is still two stories — no finder, or a built-in finder with no viewfinder bump. NR has not picked one.

Panasonic has added the pancake the compact L-Mount kit was missing. The LUMIX S 20mm F2.5 (S-S20) is a full-frame ultra-wide prime at $499.99 / €499 / £429, due to ship in October 2026. Black is S-S20K at B&H; silver is S-S20S.
B&H Explora is selling it as a street-and-travel walkaround. The numbers back that up: about 142g without caps, 40.9mm from the front glass to the mount, φ69.4mm, 62mm filters. That is the same length and filter size as the S 40mm F2 and the 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 when the zoom is collapsed — one pouch, shared filters, S9-sized full-frame.
Canon’s compact full-frame is no longer a rumor sheet. The EOS R8 Mark II is official at $1,899 body-only and $2,099 with the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM. You can pre-order at Amazon/B&H Photo Video.
The two holes DPReview spent three years pointing at are now filled: in-body stabilization (Canon’s CIPA line is 7.5 stops in the center / 7 at the edges with a coordinated IS lens) and a rear AF joystick. Same 24.2MP FSI CMOS the R8 and R6 Mark II already used. Same 2.36-million-dot, 0.7x EVF. Same LP-E17. B&H Explora’s launch note is in the same place: a handful of large upgrades, a longer list of small ones, and the old compromises that did not move.
Sony has filled the hole the leaks pointed at. The FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS (SEL400F45GM) (B&H Photo Video) and FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS (SEL600F63GM) (B&H Photo Video) are official: G Master primes, Optical SteadyShot, and Sony’s claim that each is the world’s lightest lens in its class as of this announcement. Both are due in October 2026.
US list is $2,699.99 for the 400mm and $3,699.99 for the 600mm (Canada: $3,579.99 / $4,999.99). The September 8 rumor dump had the 400mm at $2,699–$2,899 and the 600mm around $3,800. Sony landed on the cheap end of the 400mm band and a hundred under the 600mm leak. Size and weight were already right: the press sheet matches the leaked 108mm barrels, 242mm / 263mm lengths, and sub-kilo masses.
Two days out from the rumored New York date, Canon Rumors has revised the EOS R8 Mark II sheet. The headline changes are weather sealing and money: the body is now $1,899, not the $1,799 CR had been carrying, and Canon is said to be calling the camera “fully” weather-sealed. The €1,879 figure is unchanged. Tuesday, September 15, 2026 is still the announcement. Shipping has been tightened to the second half of October.
This is still a rumor update, not a Canon press release. CR says it has “confirmed” the new items with its sources and that there are “no more surprises coming.” Treat the numbers as the latest leak, not a store listing.
