Sony did it again!
For everyone who was a fan of dust-pump lens, Canon 100-400mmL who switched to Sony or for anyone else on any other platform that loved Tamron or Sigma 150-600mm, Sony has a bad news! They are to release another fair lens, 200-600mm
with following spects as per B&H: that is so well priced, just under $2000 and surly will drive a lot of wildlife lovers or sport photographers, right into Sony.

Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens
B&H # SO200600G MFR # SEL200600G
E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
Aperture Range: f/5.6-6.3 to f/32-36
5 ED Elements & 1 Aspherical Element
Nano AR Coating and Fluorine Coating
Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave AF Motor
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization
Zoom Torque Adjustment Ring
Internal Focus; Focus Range Limiter
Dust and Moisture-Resistant Construction
Eleven-Blade Circular Diaphragm

Sony's success in the mirrorless cameras is forcing the DSLR top brands Nikon and Canon to come up with more new mirrorless ones. But, Sony is easily winning this battle, I guess, with more lens options

Absolutely and I can not be any with you more on this.
But and interestingly, don't forget (That is if you're old enough as I am and remember history!) that it was the very bitter loss of Sony by the great big brother and sister on DSLRs (Canon in USA and Nikon and Canon in the rest of the world) that made Sony build "Mirrorless", in the first place.

No matter how you look at it, it's a great time to be a consumer!

The Panasonic cameras have one major weakness for me. I like trying to capture action shots such as birds in flight and the Panasonic Depth From Defocus (Sophisticated Contrast autofocus) is too slow for that. The forthcoming GH6 is strongly rumoured to be bringing in a hybrid system of phase detect alongside contrast detect which is what every other manufacturer does.
I love my micro 4/3 kit (Olympus in my case) because focal length equivalent to focal length equivalent the lenses are much smaller and lighter and often cheaper too.
