After joining the Micro Four Thirds System Standard Group, the Chinese company Songdian announced two new cameras, but neither of them is Micro Four Thirds.

At a recent Digital Imaging Industry Forum in China, Songdian confirmed that a new MFT camera and lens are under development:

Q: When will the earliest m43 camera be released?
A: It’s purely uncertain, so it’s hard to say.

Q: Will you make lenses?
A: I believe so!

Here are the details on the two new Songdian cameras:

Songdian VE228 camera: This camera features a 1-inch 50MP sensor, a 3.6-inch screen, a fixed f/1.8 lens, PDAF phase-detection autofocus, EIS+5-axis gyroscope image stabilization, a 3.6-inch 1024×608 resolution AMOLED touchscreen, and 4K 60fps video recording.

Songdian DC226 Pro camera: features an upgraded 1/1.4-inch 48MP CMOS sensor paired with an F/2.0 aperture fixed-focus lens.
