DPReview TV: Nikon Z6, Sony a7 III, and Canon EOS R compared

For several years Sony had the full frame mirrorless camera market all to itself, but recent introductions from Canon and Nikon have changed the landscape. This week, Chris and Jordan compare the current generation entry-level full frame mirrorless models from each company: the Nikon Z6, Sony a7 III, and Canon EOS R. Watch their analysis to find out where they think each model excels or has room to grow.

Nikon says that “In theory” they could make f/0,65 Z-mount lenses!

The french website Mizuwari interviewed Nicolas Gillet from Nikon France. Here are some key info:

1) Nikon wants to beat Sony in the European Full Frame market (Currently Sony leads it).
2) With the Noct-Nikkor 58mm f / 0.95, they just want to show what we are capable of doing when they detach ourselves from all the F-mount limits.
3) Nikon’s optical engineers have calculated that the Z mount can accept lenses up to f/0.65!

I am pretty sure Nikon has no plan to make a f/0,65 lens. It would be terribly expensive and terribly big. But good to know they can do it :)

These are the two next Sony FF sensors that will be sold to all camera manufacturers

SonyAlphaRumors got realiable info about the next two Full Frame sensors that will go on market in 2019:
Sensor 1:
60MP
16 channels (which is crazy, normally it should be 8),
4.6FPS@16bit
12FPS@14bit
8k30P@12bit
8K60p@10bit
4k60p@12bit
FHD300P@10bit
–
Sensor 2:
36MP
10FPS@16bit
60FPS@10bit
on-chip PDAF
These sensors can be bought by any company. I guess Pentax will use them first and maybe Nikon later. I doubt Canon will use them as this would mean they would have to give up their whole sensor department :)

Sony officially registered a new mirrorless system camera in Asia. Is the A7000 coming soon?

Sony has been surprisingly quiet at Photokina and PhotoPlus. For the first time in more than ten years they did NOT announce a new camera. I guess Sony postponed all camera released to see what the competition would launch.

And well today we got some good news: Sony registered a new camera model in Asia which according to Nokishita is a new E-mount system camera. The registration doesn’t unveil if that’s an APS-C or FF model but SonyAlphaRumors is pretty sure the camera will be the new A7000.

The question now is…when will they announce it?
