Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! In this week’s episode of DPReview TV, Chris and Jordan go to the zoo with the Fujifilm X-H1. Watch as they photograph lemurs, red pandas and maybe even a Tyrannosaur while putting this camera to the test.
Fujirumors got an insider info that reveals this:
As much as I love Fuji…I don’t think that’s going to happen. Canon and Nikon future FF mirrorless are likely to stop (or at least mitigate by a lot) the Sony-Fuji-MFT mirrorless success story.
The new Sony camera regsitered in Asia with the code “WW771132”
We are going to have again some busy announcement time:
1) Fuji is rumored to announce some new gear within May. We know Fuji registered a camera code…maybe a new fixed lens X100 model coming?
2) There is a 80% chance Sony will announce new E-mount stuff too. Also Sony registered a new camera code: Could be A6700 or A7sIII.
3) Leica will also announce a new camera as they also registered such a code
No word yet if the big Canon meeting in mid-May will give us some new camera too…

It sounds a bit odd but Canon is either hiding their card or really still believe mirrorless is for beginners only…
In their NHK interview they only seem to think mirrorless is good for beginners and did not mentione anything at all about going Full Frame or High End with their mirrorless cameras.
My bet is that they are only hiding their true intentions :)
Today Phase One announced the new iXM UAV and Drone Camera. The news matters because this is the world’s first camera using the new Sony back side illuminated 44x33mm 100MP sensor. This is the same sensor that will be used by the future Fuji GFX-100S and Hasselblad X1D-100c!
I haven’t found image samples shot with this camera yet but here are some facts:
– Dynamic range is 83dB
– ISO range 50-6400
– 3fps
Expect the future Fuji and Hasselblad to have the nearly same specs!
Here is an intorduction video from Phase One:
