Patent “JP,2018-054913,A” discloses the design of a new tilting LCD screen that can move in nearly all kind of directions. Very smart! Let’s hope this one will be used on the future Canon FF mirrorless too :)

Dpreview posted their Ricoh interview. Here are a few news:

1) They confirm that they are NOT working on a new Pentax mirrorless camera, such as the K-01
2) They also said that “development of the next GR is already ongoing“

The Japanese agency CIPA released the official camera shipment numbers for February. And it’s again a horror news for the industry. We had a 27% decline of camera shipments compared to the previous year.

The only positive takeaway from those results is that this bad result is due the shrinking compact camera market. DSLR sales numbers up 4% while mirrorless sales went down 11%.

Editor’s note: For a couple of hours we made a mistake and switched the DSLR-Mirrorless numbers. Sorry for that!

Oh yes we need the Megapixel war to restart again. Those boring 40-50MP cameras from Sony-Canon-Nikon desperately need a decent upgrade :)

Today Canon published this video to showcase their new 120MP sensor:
