Canon announced two new 4K cameras:
Canon EOS C700 Cinema Camera (Specs at BH).
Canon XC15 4K Professional Camcorder (Specs at BH).
The new EOS-M5 camera that will be announced on September 15 is likely to have no 4K recording feature. Seems like Canon want you to buy the specific camcorders in their portfolio instead. Or maybe they want you to buy a Sony/Panasonic camera :)
Well, it’s really good to hear that Canon isn’t done with the Photokina announcements yet! On September 15 they will announce the new EOS-M5 camera and according to Canonrumors it has the following specs:
Hasselblad announced the True Zoom which adds a 10x optical zoom on the Moto Z smartphone. Nice product! But please Hasselblad, don’t forget to ship the X1-DC first ok?
Full True Zoom info can be read at hasselblad.com/accessories/mobile-accessories/hasselblad-true-zoom
First a Spoiler alert: The image above is just an imaginary rendered GH5. But now the good news….those are the real Gh5 specs posted by 43rumors:
20mp,
4k 4:2:2 10bit…
Dual SD slots…
no crop 4k….
4k photo stills 60fps,
6k 30fps…
ISO 1 stop better…
This will become the best “hybrid” system camera on the market. Better than any Sony or Canon!
Today Sony announced the third 50mm FE lens in their range, the new 50mm f/2.8 FE macro lens! If you count in the new Rokinon 50mm AF lens and the Zeiss 55mm f/1.8…well it’s getting crowded in the normal focal length world!
Preorder will start on September 1 at Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
PRESS TEXT:
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 30, 2016 – Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging and the world’s largest image sensor manufacturer, has today introduced a new full-frame lens for their E-mount camera system, the FE 50mm F2.8 Macro lens (model SEL50M28).
Ideal for everyday photography, this 50mm macro lens features an F2.8 maximum aperture that offers outstanding image quality and bokeh, while its 1:1 macro capability allows the photographer to get sharp close-up shots of their subject. Additionally, its comprehensive range of controls including focus-mode switch, focus-range limiter and focus-hold button ensure an effortless shooting experience for a wide range of users.
The lens offers a 6.3 inch minimum focusing distance and a wider field of view for capturing more background, compared to longer focal-length macro lenses. Weighing in at a mere 8.4 oz., it’s extremely lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry around.
The new FE 50mm F2.8 Macro lens features an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to effectively compensate for axial chromatic aberration at close focus, allowing it to create consistently sharp and high quality images. The optical and mechanical construction of the lens has less glare and ghosting, even without a lens hood. The lens is also dust and moisture resistant.
Pricing and Availability
The new FE 50mm F2.8 Macro lens will be available in September for about $500 US and $650 CA, respectively. It will be sold at a variety of Sony authorized dealers throughout North America.
