NAB show is getting closer and Nokishita got info about the next Canon products that will be announced within days:
1) EOS C700 Full Frame Cinema camera
2) CN-E20mm T1.5 lens (see image on top)
So there we have a first Canon Full Frame mirrorless ;)
Seeing how the Canon FF mirrorless “no-rumor” went viral I will make up one too:
Nikon is testing a new Full Frame mirrorless system camera in the field :)
Do I have that from a source? Of course not. It’s just obvious they are doing this right now in order to be ready for the late 2018-early 2019 launch. At that point I do welcome real sources to share the possible specs of this new Nikon FF mirrorless camera. My safe bet is that this will have a new 40+ Megapixel sensor with a lot of on sensor phase detection pixels. I am sure both Nikon and Canon understand that autofocus performance is the key. And the autofocus has to be work same on native and adapted F and EF lenses to make it easy for current DSLR owners to make the switch.
In general I doubt Nikon and Canon are after the Sony basis. Their goal is to make their own current DSLR user basis switch over to their own mirrorless system.
There is a no-rumor going wild on the web. It says something every idiot knows by now: Canon is testing a Full Frame mirrorless prototype :)
No specs no release date are known. That’s why I call it a “no-rumor”. Because it’s OBVIOUS Canon is testing a camera like that after having told to everyone that they are officially working on a professional mirrorless camera.
Wake me up when someone has some specs to share. Would love to know how the new mount will be, and what specs the camera has. Have you heard anything about that?
Hi Lows Note spotted a patent from Nittoh describing the exact lens design of the current Hasselblad XCD 30mm lens. It’s common from companies to use designs from other companies. Zeiss used Tamron patent designs, Olympus used Sigma patent designs and so on.

Recently Nikon patented plenty of on sensor phase detection systems. And they seem to work pretty much like the Canon Dual Pixel autofocus system. Today Nikoneye spotted another new United States Patent Application. I suspect this is the kind of tech that will be used on their future Full Frame mirrorless system camera.

Techcrunch reports:
Multiple sources tell us that Google is acquiring Lytro. One source described the deal as an “asset sale” with Lytro going for no more than $40 million. Another source said the price was even lower: $25 million.The stage of the deal also is not clear.
I wonder what Google plans to do with Light field cameras….
