Tony Northrup listed his BOLD predictions for 2026:

1. Sony: Sony A7S IV (video-centric hybrid; likely ~24MP, proper EVF, improved cooling, possible 6K)
2. Sony: FX3 update/FX3 Mark II (expected to share the A7S IV’s updated sensor and cooling system)
3. Sony: RX100 series revival (new RX100; built-in flash; likely drop EVF and flip screen; improved AF; around $1,500)
4. Sony (wishful): Entry-level full-frame “A5” priced below $1,500 to compete with Canon/Nikon
5. Canon: Retro-style Canon camera (either RF interchangeable or fixed-lens X100-style)
6. Canon: R5C Mark II (fan-cooled video variant of R5 II; aimed at unlimited 8K recording)
7. Canon: EOS R7 Mark II (faster readout + improved AF; better electronic shutter for wildlife/sports)
8. Canon: EOS R3 Mark II (Winter Olympics timing; quad-pixel AF; possible global shutter)
9. Nikon: Z9 Mark III (adds mechanical shutter for better flash sync; better EVF; improved AF; RED integration)
10. Nikon: Z7 Mark III (high-res jump; suggested ~75MP TowerJazz sensor; RED integration)
11. Panasonic or Blackmagic: Square-sensor camera aimed at better vertical + horizontal video workflow
12. DJI: Osmo Pocket 4 (rumored dual-sensor; one optimized for vertical/square; larger sensor & faster lens hoped)
13. OM System: A “rehash” release (likely still 20MP; minimal new engineering; continued wildlife focus)
