Last year Canon announced their new mirrorless camera efforts with the EOS R. However compared to Nikon’s announcement, Canon’s announcement was a little less exciting. It turns out that this could be because the current EOS R that was launched was designed to be a mid-range model, and that the company has a pro-grade model in the works.
The problem with adopting a new camera system is that lens availability tends to be a bit scarce at the start in terms of variety. This is versus long and established camera systems that have been building up their portfolio for years. This is one of the downsides to adopting the new Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, but Nikon definitely has plans to change that.
If you’d rather not spend money buying one of Fujifilm’s high-end flagship cameras like the Fujifilm X-T3, X-H1, or the X-Pro2, then maybe one of the company’s mid-rangers could be of interest to you. In fact last we heard, the company could be working on a successor to the X-T20 in the form of the X-T30.
4K video recording is something that we’re starting to see included in many smartphones and cameras, but for videographers who’d like to futureproof themselves or stay ahead of the curve, then Canon might be a brand to watch out for because the company already has plans for an 8K capable EOS R camera in their roadmap.
The quality of a photo taken by a camera is determined by many things, but hardware plays a huge role. However sometimes image quality isn’t everything as photographers might appreciate other features in a camera that could make their lives and jobs easier. The good news for Nikon Z camera owners is that you can look forward to some new features soon.
It was last year that Nikon announced the launch of their new Nikon Z full-frame mirrorless cameras, the company’s “serious” attempt at trying their hand at mirrorless cameras. However as is the case with new mounts and cameras, the availability of lenses are limited, but Nikon is hoping to make up for it.
Just like what Nikon did when they announced their Z-series cameras, Canon also announced a new set of RF lenses for its brand new EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera. The lineup is quite sparse at the moment but that is to be expected given that the camera only launched last year, and the good news is that we can look forward to more options this year.
In the mirrorless camera market, there are a few brands that are currently dominating, such as Sony and Fujifilm. Recently we’ve seen how companies such as Nikon and Canon have tossed their hat into the ring by creating more powerful mirrorless cameras, and it seems that Olympus isn’t going to sit around and let that happen without doing anything about it.
If Fujifilm’s more expensive flagship camera offerings are a bit too pricey for your tastes and you don’t think you can make that financial commitment just yet, the company does have a bunch of other more affordable camera lineups. In fact according to a report from Fuji Rumors, it seems that at least one of those models could be arriving in the first quarter of 2019.
Earlier this year Nikon announced two new cameras in the form of the Nikon Z6 and Z7. The Nikon Z7 was launched a few months ago and if you recall, earlier this month it was reported that the Nikon Z6 would be launching this month. For those who are interested, you’ll be pleased to learn that the camera is now in stock.
The Fujifilm X-H1 was officially announced earlier this year, but there has been speculation that the X-H2, its successor, could be launched in 2019. While many have praised the X-H1, given that it is the first of Fujifilm’s new lineup, it wasn’t surprising that reviewers felt that there were certain things could be improved upon.
When it comes to full-frame mirrorless cameras, for years Sony has more or less monopolized the market with its A7 and A9 cameras. However it looks like Sony is about to get some very serious competition from Canon, at least as far the Japanese market is concerned, according to a report from BCN Retail (via Peta Pixel).
