Sharp to debut 8k Camera? Iphone 11 rumored to have 3 lenses?

Sharp is rumored to be using Olympus Micro four-thirds sensors in developing a new Camera that shoots 8k. Initial reports are that it will be 8k@30 but the company is said to be trying to break 8k@60 for this new camera. This camera should come in at less than $5000 and should be the only prosumer camera to offer 8k video. The real use is probably cropping and downsizing to 4k and even 1080dp as not many screen actually support 8k right now. The Iphone 11 is rumored to have 3 lenses at the back. I am hoping it'll be a regular lens, a macro lens, and a telephoto lens as that would fill many of my photography needs when I'm not in need to professional results.

Canon rumored to have two mirrorless Cameras for 2019

Canon is rumored to have two mirrorless Cameras on tap for 2019. One will be beneath their EOS R an one will be above their EOS R. I figure the one below will be an APS-C because the EOS-R is like their 6d Series and the one above will be a 40-50mp camera to compete with the A7RIII and the Z7.
