Those were the ten best selling cameras at Kitamura and Yodobashi
Those were the best selling cameras on September
Oh, you’re late to the party: Sony’s first full-frame camera announcement of the year will be in November!
Oh yes… I’d forgotten all about that one company! After a lame year, Sony will finally announce a new full-frame E-mount camera at the end of November. I don’t know what’s coming, but there are two options: One is expensive (Sony A1II) and one is more affordable (Sony A7V).
Along with this new camera, Sony will probably also announce a new lens… maybe the crazy 24-70mm f/2.0 GM we heard about months ago? Either way, we still have about a month to go and I’m sure more information will come out before the announcement. What do you make of this? Is there anything you’re eagerly awaiting?
Canon will announce three new lenses on October 30
A teaser page is up and running at BHphoto (Click here) for the launch of three new lenses. We will likely get those:
- Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM
- Canon RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM
- Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z

Canon might release a “APS-C for video,” “retro full-frame,” and “ultra-high-resolution full-frame” in 2025.
Canonrumors claims that three new EOS-R cameras will be announced in 2025:
- The APS-C camera will be much more video focused than any other APS-C camera in the line. It is unclear whether Canon will discontinue any of their current APS-C camera line, as there are a number of cameras in the line that are not selling well outside of Asia.
- With Sony catching up with Canon in attracting new users, Canon will likely focus more on the younger demographic with its upcoming cameras, making the two full-frame cameras a bit more interesting for those around here. Yes, there will be a “retro” camera coming in late 2025. I don’t know what the specs will be, or which of Canon’s past cameras will be the inspiration, but my guess is the F1.
- The second camera is one of those mysterious cameras that has been promised again and again over the years but has yet to materialize: a full-frame, high-resolution monster. We know that Canon has been testing 100MP sensors for the past few years.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you like the “rumored” new cameras?

Fujifilm goes mental and is preparing the launch of a Half Frame 1 inch sensor camera in 2025
Fujirumors reports that FujiFilm will announce a 1 inch half frame camera in 2025. It’s a sort of digital version of the popular Pentax 17 half frame film camera. The sensor will be aligned vertically and give you images tiktokkers and instagrammers will find very useful to publish ASAP.
I am stunned to see Fuji having the balls to do this!
