Nikon and Canon will soon announce their new Full Frame mirrorless system cameras. This will put a lot of pressure on Fuji’s X, and Olympus-Panasonic MFT system for multiple reasons:

1) FF mirrorless competition is likely to reduce prices of FF cameras and lenses

2) Canon and Nikon will spend a lot of money to advertise their new mirrorless systems. No longer can Fuji-Olympus-Panasonic advertising run on the “DSLR vs Mirrorless” argument.

3) Only the high end camera market is still profitable. It will be a strong fight for that small niche.

4) Fuji-Olympus-Panasonic high end camera now have to offer some clear strong advantage to justify the purchase over the larger sensor Canon-Nikon-Sony competition

Fuji has at least a “way out” with the GFX system for those who wont to have a larger sensor camera. I would hope Panasonic and Olympus will launch a new FF system together. But I am probably just dreaming…

Here is the new Nikon teaser showing the new large mount:

Today CIPA released the JUNE worldwide camera shipment report from Japanese manufacturers. Basically three trends get confirmed:

1) The system camera sales (DSLR+mirrorless) are no stable

2) Mirrorless sales trend is still doin better than DSLR

3) Compact camera sales are still dropping

While we wait for more teasers and leaks, here you have a little comparison between the paper #nikonmirrorless and a Camera we know very well for a few years. The D7000… I think there is potentially enough room for an 3.5 inch screen. #nikon #mirrorless #nikonmirrorless #bastelnmitpapier #workingwithpaper #nikond7000

23 days to go until Nikon will announce their first new Full Frame mirrorless camera. On top you can see an attempted size comparison between the new mirrorless (paper model) and the Nikon D7000 DSLR camera.

Canon announced the new PowerShot SX740 HS. It will ship in August for $399. Full specs and preorders at Bhphoto.

I know I know folks, that’s not the news you want to hear from Canon ritgh now. Don’t worry, there is a much bigger announcement coming the second week of September ;)
