New updated on the Konost M-mount camera

Right at Christmas Day Konost sent un updated info on their mirrorless system camera. They confirmed the camera will ship during the second half of 2017.

And it appears there will be actually two different cameras. A rangefinder and a “normal” mirrorless camera:

It’s unclear what kinf of Full Frame sensor they will use (CMOSIS or Sony?)

 

This could be a surprise: Canon next 6DmarKII will be….mirrorless?

There were already some hints that Canon could make a mirrorless system camera with the “old” EF mount. Canonwatch now got an unverified info saying the 6D successor may be the first Canon DSLR that is actually not a DSLR :)

The camera will be Full Frame and have EF mount but Canon will get rid of the mirror. This makes sense as it means that Canon doesn’t have to start a new mount system from scratch. The only downside is that if they keep the EF mount they cannot make smaller cameras. But I think the real arguments to buy a mirrorless cameras are others anyways…

 

Fuji says GFX successor is aiming for over 100 megapixel sensor.

FUJIFILM GFX Medium Format Mirrorless Camera for Video – Everything You Wanted to Know from cinema5D on Vimeo.

Cinema5D posted an interesting video interview with Fuji. There are many interesting info including those three important points:

  1. Fuji is aiming to offer  a 100+ Megapixel sensor on the future GFX successor
  2. On the new Fuji GFX the sensor readout speed isn’t enough for 4K video. But Fuji’s goal is to improve the readout on future sensors so that 4K is possible
  3. Fujiwill mainly develop fast prime lenses. And those lenses will all outresolve the future 100MP sensors.

It’s pretty certain now that Sony is developing a 100+ Megapixel 33x44mm 4K sensor.
