Kazuto Yamaki CEO from Sigma talked to Focus Numerique (translation by SigmaRumors). And there are a couple of news related to Sony stuff:

1) Sigma will not make lenses for the FE system yet

2) Sigma will keep making APS-C E-mount lenses

3) Sigma will soon update the [shoplink 29294 ebay]24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 29295 ebay]70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM[/shoplink] lenses for A-mount.

Scottlewisphotography spotted a new vertical grip for the Sony A7 cameras made by the Chinese company Meike. It should be on sale in two months for around 80 Euro. They will also launch a new external flash for E-mount cameras too.

Meike currently sells under [shoplink 29237 ebay]water housings and adapters for Sony one Bay (Click here)[/shoplink].

The last couple of years Canon proved tho have a very conservative approach on the digital camera market. And the best they can do now is to copy the best ideas :)

Latest example is their newly announced RX100 clone, the Canon G7x (specs here at Amazon). The Canon is cheaper but it doesn’t come with a built-in EVF (that alone makes up for most of the price difference). A good point for the Canon is that it has a wider zoom range (24-100mm). Well at least we have some competition and maybe Sony will lower the price of the RX100m3.

This year Photokina was probably the least exciting Photokina ever. And Kai seems to agree with me (see video on top).

Anyway, here is a new roundup of Photokina buzz:
