Yongnuo announces the development of a new mirrorless system camera!

Well what a surprise! A chinese manufacturer is attempting what current “classic” camera makers are NOT doing. Yongnuo is developing a mirrorless system camera running on Android and with integrated 4G capability.

Yongnuo posted the image of this camera with a contest on Facebook. The contest ends in January which means that at CES we are likely to learn all details about it. It’s unclear what mount they will use and I guess the Canon 14mm EF lens is attached with an adapter on the camera.

Nice! What do you think about this concept? And what mount do you hope it has?

There is some life breathing back into the lungs of Micro Four Thirds lovers: Olympus is rumored to launch a new E-M1X High End camera in January. The camera is rumored to feature some unique new tech not available in any other camera yet.

There are no specs but Olympus seriously needs to make it right with this one to take away the spotlight from the Fuji X-T3.

Canon says the “R” in the Canon EOS-R means “Reimagine”

DC.watch interviewed Canon Manager Tsuyoshi Togura. MR.Togura said the “R” in the EOS-R name stand for “reimagine”. The full meaning is actually “Reimagine optical excellence“.

In this interview of course Canon stated once more that they will expand the EOS-R camera lineup up to the professional level. And they also said the Canon EOS-M line will be continually developed too making it sound like there will be no APS-C EOS-R camera yet.
