Summer will soon be over and the big autumn Canon-Sony fighting is about to start. First we will get the full new EOS-R3 unveiling around mid September. And in October Sony will launch their A7IV beast which is rumored to have the following specs:

  • Newly developed 33MP sensor
  • 5.5 stops of IBIS (+ AS)

Also Nikon will unveil the Z9 but I don’t know if they will make a meaningful impact with this camera…
