Philip Bloom: Let’s talk about the Sony A7S III & The Canon R5
Philip Bloom talks in deep about both cameras. He really loves the 8K quality of the Canon EOS-R5 and hopes some kind of miracle firmware update will improve the overheating limits.
Patents patents and more crazy patents from Canon, Fuji and Tamron
Engeneers “dreams” are put on paper on those patents:
Fujinon XF30mmF1.0, XF35mmF1.0 and XF33mmF1.0 Patents Spotted and Fujinon XF 50mmF1.0 Coming Soon (Fujirumors).
Canon Patent Application For RF 200-800mm f/6-8.5 Lens (CanonWatch).
Tamron patented a series of APS-C travel zooms from 18-100mm up to 18-500mm (SonyAlphaRumors)
This is impressive: Watch this fake Tennis match with real player
This video shows results from the paper “Vid2Player: Controllable Video Sprites that Behave and Appear like Professional Tennis Players”. See the project page at: https://cs.stanford.edu/~haotianz/res…
This is just to say that the future isn’t “real” photography or “real” filmmaking. We will see more of this kind of “Image production” in the future to come.

Those are the worldwide market shares: Canon leads comfortably and Nikon looses ground
Nikkei published the 2019 worldwide camera share market analysis:
The top five digital camera companies had a 93.7% share in 2019. Camera sales dropped down to 14.83 million units (-22.4%). Those are the market shares:
-Canon 45.4% (+2.4)
-Sony 20.2% (+0.9)
-Nikon 18.6% (-1.6)
-Fujifilm Holdings 4.7% (-0.4)
-Panasonic 4.7% (0.0)
In 2018 Olympus was at the fifth position but has been now surpassed by Panasonic. I guess not many expected to see Canon increase their market share despite Sony’s Alpha line success. Nikon had a major drop that is very worrying. And I didn’t expect Fuji to have this small -0,4% drop too.

TheSlanted Lens: Does Sensor Size REALLY Matter? Camera Sensor Size Comparison – Part Two
The Slanted Lens writes:
In this Camera Sensor Size Comparison we compare the Fujifilm GFX 100 Medium Format, Sony a7r IV Full Frame, Canon EOS R Full Frame, Fujifilm X-T4 APS-C Format and the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Micro Four Thirds Format cameras. We take a look at equivalency and also compare them in daylight and low light. Are larger megapixels cleaner in low light? How does the grain compare? How does ISO affect the images? And how are details maintained in overexposed and underexposed images.
Take a look and let us know your thoughts!
