Youtubers review:
Canon EOS R1 to be announced in 2022 to compete against the Nikon Z9
PetaPixel reports about the nw R1 coming in 2022. Specs might be something like this:
45+ megapixels, 8K video recording at various framerates, and a price somewhere north of the R3’s $5,999
CanonWatch writes the camera might be releases in Q3 2022 and that the Canon EOS R1 will incorporate technology that will “let all competitors behind“.
This would mean it’s better than the new Nikon Z9. Nice if true…but one year is still a long time to go before we see it in real!
Epson Japan has launched a special R-D1 event day
Epson was really ahead of time when they launched this rangefinder digital camera in 2004. And I still think this is a gorgeous piece of camera. And Epson Japan want to celebrate this camera by having a special event around it. You can even buy the camera if you want!
OM Digital teases their new flagschip camera with computational power!
Yesterdays double Panasonic and OM Digital announcement was quite a let down. Panasonic only launched a special 20th anniversary Lumix page and repeated that the “GH6 is in development”. And OM Digital announced it would no more use the “Olympus” brand name.
The only small exciting news is that OM Digital posted some teaser images of their new OM flagship camera that they said will have new computational power:
Both, this new OM camera and the GH6 will arrive in early 2022 only.
