Wrong Canon FF mirrorless specs posted by Canonrumors


Canon FF rendering by David Riesenberg

Canonrumors posted so claimed specs of a Canon Full Frame mirrorless. Our sources told these specs are completely wrong (those are the same sources that shared the first leaked C700 images last week). CR said:

  • Look & Feel: large grip with top LCD, very comfortable to hold; dials are very similar to those we found on the EOS 5D Mark IV.
  • Side articulating screen
  • Sensor: Upgraded version of the EOS 5D Mark IV sensor, obviously includes DPAF.
  • Frame rate: 10FPS
  • Silent shutter and 1/16000sec shutter speed is available
  • Focus control is very similar to EOS 5D Mark IV’s 61-pt AF system.
  • Dual SD card slots
  • Video Features: C-Log 1/2/3, Focus Guide
  • Formats available: 60p/30p/24p 4K (both DCI & UHD can be chosen).
  • FHD 120p
  • Weight: not very light, but similar to Sony A7 but a bit larger due to the big grip.

Note: Of course rumor sites can make mistakes! And in our 9 years of work we did 2-3 such wrong rumors too. No offense taken CR. But in this case I am 99,99999% sure those specs are NOT real!!!

CIPA results for February: Tremendous decline of worldwide camera shipment. DSLR beating mirrorless this month.

The Japanese agency CIPA released the official camera shipment numbers for February. And it’s again a horror news for the industry. We had a 27% decline of camera shipments compared to the previous year.

The only positive takeaway from those results is that this bad result is due the shrinking compact camera market. DSLR sales numbers up 4% while mirrorless sales went down 11%.

Editor’s note: For a couple of hours we made a mistake and switched the DSLR-Mirrorless numbers. Sorry for that!

 

Sony a7 III, The GOOD, the BAD and the MEH! Two week review.

Biscuitsalive:

I have been enjoying my new Sony a7 mk3 for two weeks now, and have come to a few conclusions. Mostly good, a few bad, and some a bit… ‘meh’. There is a lot to love about this camera, but also a few niggles with Sony’s new full frame camera. I focus here on the video functionality of the Sony a73. *I don’t want to cover the stills performance until the RAW files are accessible to Photoshop or Lightroom.
