Nikon confirms a new Flagship Z camera is coming soon
Dpreview interviewed Keiji Oishi from Nikon. And he made it clear a new Nikon Z flagship camera is coming this year
And here is DpreviewTV’s take on this news:
Two new announcements from Sony and Olympus: Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM on March 16 and OM Digital 8-25mm f/4.0(?) on March 17.
We got some announcement ahead:
Sony will announce the 50mm f/1.2 GM on March 16
OM Digital might announce the new 8-25mm f/4.0 lens on March 17
CIPA January data: Year starts even worse than 2020 :(
CIPA released the worldwide camera shipment data for Japanese camera manufacturers. And January 2021 started even worse than the already very bad 2020 year. Still, I do not expect 2021 to be as bad as 2020. As you can see from the graph 2020 had a sever drop due the Coronavirus outbreak. Hard not to beat that performance in 2021.
Just announced: New Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH
You can already preorder the new lens at BHphoto.
Speculations going wild in Japan about Nikon exiting the camera business
And here comes the next Japanese journal speculating about a possible Nikon exit from the camera business. They base their guess on this fact: Techno System Research analyzed the mirrorless market share and that’s the result:
Sony … 35%
Canon … 30%
FUJIFILM… 12%
Olympus… 8%
Nikon … 7.5%
At the end that’s all just wild rumors btu it’s interesting that it’s lasting for quite some time now in Japan…
