It’s already possible to order a book on the Canon EOS 7D Mark II. The book is scheduled to be available for 9/27. The text in the pic above says:
It appears the successor of the EOS 7D will eventually have the moniker “Mark II”. Let’s hope for some specs to appear soon.

The first image of the upcoming Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Otus lens showed up on the net.
It’s rumored that the optical performance of the new 85mm /1.4 Otus is better even than the acclaimed Zeiss 55mm f/1.4 Otus lens. The Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Otus will first be available with Canon/Nikon mount. Will this be the best full-frame lens on the market?

Update: PR just posted that they got the confirmation that one of the 2 lenses is the 85mm f/1.4 Otus (ZE, ZF.2 mounts). The other one is the Zeiss Distagon 35/1.4 ZM (Leica mount)
Zeiss is teasing the announcement of 2 new lenses for Photokina 2014.
In the image above you can see the 2 Loxia lenses that have already been announced, and 2 new lenses. One might be the rumoured 85mm f/1.4 Otus lens. A 24mm f/1.4 Otus is also possible. Maybe these are the 2 lenses Zeiss is going to announce.

The picture above showed up on Samyang’s Facebook page. More lenses to come soon?
Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS
Digicame (translated) posted what I am not shy to define as the first reliable rumor on what Canon is going to announce at Photokina 2014. Yes, these lenses are going to be announced at Photokina 2014!
The EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM was previously rumored to be an EF lens, instead it is an EF-S lens. Not yet sure if it will be a pancake lens.
The EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is aimed at full-frame shooters, who will soon enjoy the benefits of the STM technology for their video shooting. This lens will probably be the next kit lens for the 6D. It will for sure be cheaper than an “L” grade lens. No one saw this lens come.
Finally, the EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM lens is the successor to the Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS. Several patents filed by Canon in the past pointed in this direction, the latest patent being this one.
Stay tuned, I am sure pictures will follow soon.

I have been told that Canon might announce a new Speedlite for Photokina 2014. The Speedlite that might get substituted could be the 430EX II (introduced in 2007). No more information nor specs, unfortunately.
And there were various mentions that Canon might eventually announce the Powershot SX60 HS IS for Photokina 2014, the long overdue replacement for the popular Powershot SX50 HS IS (price & specs). The SX60 HS is rumored since a while. It was rumored to be announced in Spring, then in Summer 2014, and now the rumors point to Photokina 2014. So far no rumor got it right :-) I got no specs this time. Rumors in the past suggested a 60x zoom (with some specs), then a 100x zoom (there is a patent pointing in this direction). A zoom beyond 60x seems plausible to me.
New source(s), take everything with a grain of salt, as usual.
