Fuji X-Pro2

The Fuji X-Pro2, X-E2S and X70 cameras are expected to be officially announced later this week. However, it looks like Fujifilm in France posted the YouTube sizzle videos for the cameras publicly a little too soon.

The videos have been removed now but here are a few screenshots showing off some of the looks at the new cameras and their features. [Read more…]

Nikon Rumors has published what appears to be the first photos of the upcoming Nikon D5.

As Nikon Rumors points out, there is a new ISO button on the top plate and the video record button has been moved to the side. Additionally, there are mic holes added above the D5 label on the left side of the lens mount instead of on the right side.

Again, we expect to see more of the Nikon D5 at or around CES 2016 early next month.

Nikon D5 Rumored to Have 153 AF Points, Max Native ISO at 102,400

By

Nikon-D5-Rumors

Word on the upcoming Nikon D5 has been slow ever since Nikon announced its development earlier this fall. New rumors (via Nikon Rumors), however, point to an updated AF system with 153 AF points (up from 51-points on the Nikon D4s). Additionally, the max native sensitivity is expected to get a boost to ISO 102,400 (up from 25,600 on D4s).

Prior rumored specs for the D5 included:

  • New 20MP FX sensor
  • 15 fps
  • Body design similar to the D4s
  • 4K video 60/30fps
  • Full HD slow motion

As I’ve said before, I suspect that we will see/hear more around CES 2016 in early January.

Stay tuned.

Canon is Working on a Full Frame Mirrorless Camera?

Not that the suggestion of Canon producing a full frame mirrorless camera is revolutionary; however, it is reassuring to hear that one may be in the pipeline. Canon Rumors received a tip from a reliable source that Canon is, in fact, developing a full frame mirrorless camera to be situated alongside its current line of EOS M cameras that feature APS-C format sensors.

Canon 1D X Mark II to Feature 4K Video But No 4K on Canon 5D Mark IV?

Canon 1D X Mark II Mockup

New rumors from Canon Rumors point to an upcoming Canon 1D X replacement will feature 4K video capture. Unfortunately though, the same rumors say that the 1D X Mark II will be the only next-gen Canon DSLR to offer 4K video capture at launch.

Of course, that would mean that the oft-rumored 5D Mark IV wouldn’t feature 4K video as an option at launch. Does the “at launch” clarification mean that a firmware upgrade could unlock it later down the line?

We have to remember, of course, that these are rumors but I still want to bang my head on the desk at even the suggestion that the next generation of Canon DSLRs will continue to neuter their video capabilities.
