It’s official now: Fuji confirmed it will not join this years Photokina because it “Does not Fit with Timing of Our Exciting New Products Launch”. We now have only three major companies present in May 2020: Sony, Canon and Panasonic.
But I wonder if in 2021 also these last three will drop out of the event…

The following is a guest post from Kolarivision:
The Sony A7R IV Disassembly and Teardown
2020 is just around the corner, and if there is one thing we can be sure of, it’s that Sony probably isn’t going to be slowing down. While every iteration of the different A7 and a6000 camera lines launch with significant improvements over their predecessors, the most recent A7R took leaps and bounds in both capability and design progress. We’re at 61 megapixels on a full-frame now. The A7R IV brought us here, past the D850, the 5Ds, and even Fuji’s GFX 50 cameras. With that, it brings a 10fps continuous drive rate and all the top-notch AF and video capability we’ve come to expect from Sony. The body itself is just a little different on the outside. The grip is definitely a little beefier than before. The Nikon Z and Canon EOS R cameras’ design and ergonomics were very well received, and it makes sense for Sony to adopt as much of that “DSLR-feel” as they can. But, despite the subtle ergonomic improvements, the A7R IV is still a uniquely brick-like camera with all its rectangles and stepped edges. I don’t know about you, but at this point, I really don’t want them to change.
