N&R: Changing formats...

I haven't posted one of these summaries in a while. I was planning to until suddenly Canon released a new DSLR, seemingly starting a new line, and I just couldn't bring myself to try to work out what all the Canon lines are. The thought of no longer doing this summary crossed my mind, but instead I am going to try a briefer format. (edit: I failed.)

Sony 100mm f2.8STF - For lovers of creamy bokeh

• Nikon has a D3400 on the way
• Delays in the Nissin i60a, but should you buy?
• Panasonic is expected to announce two cameras this month

If you’re considering to buy into the Nissin Air System, you should consider the following: if you've bought online or grey market, your product may be unusable with other purchases.

In this week's summary:

• Olympus - New PRO lenses coming.
• Sony - Reports next Zeiss Loxia will be telephoto, and delays from earthquake aftermath.
• Nissin - the new Nissin i60A for Sony has been delayed until August.
