Reliable leaked How2Fly just tweeted that Hasselblad and Tamron will soon announce a new zoom lens! I have no idea yet about th possible specs but we know the Nikkor Z 180-600mm f/5,6-6,3 VR lens is actually a Tamron design and is BIG. So this what what we are getting from Tamron?
One of my readers spotted this Canon R1 spec sheet on Canon China. The page was only up for few minutes and he shared me the screenshots. I used the google image translation tool and those are the specs:
Canon R1:

Tetsudo.com has published an interview with the development team of Canon’s RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z. And when asked about future lenses they released quite a bold statement:
I can’t talk about the specifics, but there are lenses with basic specifications, and there are also lenses with specifications that have never been seen before and that no one can imagine yet. We would like to develop a good balance between these.
Wow! Now it’s up to your imagination to guess what kind of lenses they will release!!!

E8M spotted another new Nikon camera registered in China on July 12. IN total Nikon did register three cameras in the past 2 months. They have the following codes:
It’s still unclear which model we can expect, all we know is that it usually takes 3-4 months after registration for these cameras to be announced.
Now it’s official! Canon will announce new products on July 17. I expect them to announce the R5II and share many more details about their new flasghip Canon R1 model.
CanonRumors reported a new list of possible R5II specs:
New Canon EOS R5 Mark II Information (Unconfirmed)
Previously Reported EOS R5 Mark II Specifications
New Z6III at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, WexUK
The new Z6III is a nice camera and that’s why some now question if a new Z7III is actually necessary. PetaPixel wrote that While the Z6 III Is Here, a Z7 III is Far Less of a Certainty:
The only way I can see Nikon can release the Z7 III is to change what photographers have come to expect from it. The only camera really “missing” from Nikon’s lineup is a video-focused system like Canon’s R5C, Sony’s a7S, or Panasonic’s S5 IIX.
On the opposite on Weibo people claim to know the Z7III si coming and is likely to have those specs:
– Accelerated FX-format 90.75MP BSI CMOS sensor
– Cross-pixel Super Pixel Package sensor mode with pseudo LPF (10.1M)
– Four image size selections: L/M/S/B (only L/B for RAW)
– EXPEED 7 processor
– Four-leaf button
– Easy-to-use two-axis multi-angle LCD screen, high-brightness EVF
– Optimized body grip
– 8-stage IBIS, enhanced gyro video electronic image stabilization
– Pixel shift high-resolution shooting
– Dual data stream AF system, updated AI focus algorithm and process, more powerful than Z 9 and Z 8 –
FX/DX-format 14-bit RAW mechanical shutter continuous shooting up to 14fps
– FX-format B-size 14-bit RAW electronic shutter continuous shooting up to 20fps
– HEIF/JPG electronic shutter continuous shooting mode: C30 (FX-B/DX-L), C60 (FX-B/DX-M), C120 (FX-B)
– High quality video sampling modes are 12K-FX, 8K-DX, 4K-FX
– 12-bit N-RAW recording up to FX 12K/30p and 4K/120p, DX 8K/60p
– Supports non-pixel-to-pixel N-RAW encoding
– Up to UHD 8K/30p and 5.4K/60p and 4K/120p H.265 10-bit 4:2:0 MOV video
– Supports 4K ProRes 422 HQ 10-bit MOV video up to 4K/60p, ProRes RAW encoding
– N-log2 with IPP2
– Precise shutter angle options
– Separation of project frame rate and shooting frame rate (S&Q in Codec)
– Two card slots, support CFexpress B, SD UHS-II
– Supports WiFi 2.4/5 GHz, Bluetooth LE connectivity
– USB-C fast charging and HDMI Type-A connectivity
My take is that nobody knows a thing about the Z7III and that all that this means is that it might be not coming any time soon.
