The Yongnuo YN450 looks like a smaller more simplified Zeiss ZX1. This kind of hybrid camera might become a lot more popular in the near future if these early cameras do well.

The Micro Four Thirds Catalog has been updated. You can view it here.
Cinima5D interviewed Mr. Kazuto Yamaki from SIGMA corporation about their L-mount alliance announcements at CP+ this year. Below are some key points:
Sigma and Panasonic seem to be pushing L-Mount hard at CP+2019. Let us hope that Sigma can get Foveon support in Lightroom so that their camera takes off. I think most are fine with the lack of great high ISO out of Foveon cameras due to their amazing color and detail, but Sigma needs a good editor.
It’s going to take Sigma until 2019 to release their Foveon L-mount Full Frame sensor due to research delays, but the sensor is just about finished today. Sigma plans for the sensor to have three 20MP layers which will give 60.9MP. Sigma will also go back to their 1:1:1 design instead of the newer 1:1:4 which reduced one of the RGB layers size to increase light gathering.
TSI Semiconductors of the United States is producing Sigma’s new Foveon sensor. The company is 30 years old and came from NEC. They will produce 250,000 wafers per month, which will be enough to satisfy global demand. The plant uses the Japanese methods 5S, Kaizen, Kanban method, etc…
We will see the first L-Mount lenses from Sigma in August 2019 along with the MC-21 adapter. Sigma will also support mount conversion too and from, SA, EF, F, K, A, E, and L-mount
