Sony has updated their camera sensor database with detailed specs sheets:
Some of the sensors above are used by the Nikon Z6, Fuji X-T3 and GH5s sensors.
What’s very curious is the spec sheet of the Fuji GFX-100s that will be released next year. This is a hell of a good sensor and the first medium format sensor having Back Illuminated technology and 4k30p:

Dpreview posted the content of their interview with Nikon managers:
1) Nikon said “Our goal is to become number one in the full-frame market. We believe that we can achieve the number one position maybe quite soon”
2) At the moment NIkon is not thinking about making an APS-C Z-mount camera. But they will not rule out the possibility to make such a camera in the future.
3) Smartphone competition: “Maybe smartphones will be be able to produce images that are as good as interchangeable lens cameras. If this happens, it will be a real challenge.”
So Nikon wants to become Number One. Last week Canon forecasted in their financial strategies that they will increase their share in this market. And Sony keeps pushing to become number one too. Who will be the leade in 2020? What’s your guess?
This is a Google Trend comparison between the new EOS-R, Z7 and A7III. Of course you have to keep in mind that this isn’t a very accurate tool. People for example also do search for “Nikon Z” or “Canon EOS-R”. But I did compare the terms that were the most used. Maybe the only trend we can learn from this is that there is no clear winner yet…
I repeat, this is not a scientific comparison. Still, interesting to look at!
