Nokishita reports that Canon has registered two codes that should stay for two new mirrorless system cameras. It’s unclear yet if these codes are for the current APS-C mirrorless or if they are for the future new Full Frame mirrorless cameras.
Back in September we reported that the russian company Zenit was working on a rebranded Leica SL Full Frame Mirrorless camera. Today this image of the Zenit D1 appeared on the web. The camera is rumored to have the following specs:
– Full-frame CMOS image sensor with a backlight resolution of 42.4 MP without a low-frequency optical filter.
– 50-25.600 ISO
– Announcement within the next days
But so far we got no confirmation this image or specs are real. It might be a fake made by that russian website?
Dpreview interviewed three Fuji managers. There are many topics in this interview but I am going to highlight too
Fuji GFX:
– Overall, GFX sales have exceeded our predictions.
– 80% of users are non-professional, and 20% are professional. That was a surprise.Fuji and video:
– Fuji wants to move more into the high-end video world
I am really surprised to hear 80% of the current GFX owners are amateurs. This is an expensive camera and I didn’t think so many non-professionals would buy that camera. And we know from previous rumors that they will launch two new GFX cameras within the next 12 months:
1) A new rangefinder styled GFX camera with he same 50MP sensor will be announced at Photokina. It should be priced just below $5,000
2) A new 100 megapixel GFX camera will be announced at Photokina in may 2019. This one should cost around $10,000.
Let’s see how those two new cameras will sell. That 100 megapixel camera sounds promising also because it has a BSI sensor and on sensor phase detection pixels.
This year Fuji will release this superfast 200mm f/2.0 XF lens. Fujirumors just got a few tidbits about it:
Fujifilm had to re-design their current teleconverters, because they are only designed to work down to f2.8. Hence, for the start, Fujifilm will sell the XF200mmF2 WR also bundled with the new 1.4x Teleconvert (but not the 2.0x TC) for about $6,000.
The source also told us that the Fujinon XF200mmF2 OIS WR will introduce a brand new anti-reflection coating to reduce flare.
The lens will also be White and not Black (as displayed on the CP+ show).
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?
