In his latest video Jan Wegener shared two insights about the new Canon R6III:

• The camera will be announced in Q4
• It has a new higher resolution sensor than the Canon R6II which has 24Mp

Jan has been proven to be very reliable in the past so I think he will be right on this one too. With this new sensor the Canon R6III would compete with the 33MP Sony A7IV. But at the same time also Sony is rumored to launch a new A7V this autumn!

Here is the first leaked image of the new FujiFilm X100VI. It has a 1inch vertical sensor to create vertical photos and videos for the young content creators. And it’s the first Fujifilm camera with built-in Diptych technology!

But this is unlikely to be a direct S1H competitor….

PetaPixel had a short chat with Canon manager Go Tokura. He made it clear that there is no high resolution version of the Canon R1 on their roadmap:

“We consider the flagship to basically be at the pinnacle of our lineup, which means we’re not going to have two flagship models because we’ve basically put everything that we have — the best performance and the best trust — into the EOS R1. So I would say that we would probably never consider developing another model using the same body as the EOS R1.

For example, if we have higher resolution, then we know that that will skew the balance and the sensitivity will be lower. That is a physical mechanism. So in a flagship, we would never focus on just one aspect of the performance that would destroy the balance. I believe our current strategy is to have the 5-series be responsible for the high resolution quality

Today I can share an allegedly leaked image of the new Canon RV camera that aims to dethrone this Sony model. And….Canon will also launch a new R6III before summer and maybe a new Vintage R model in autumn!

Finally we can see the first image of the upcoming new FujiFuilm GFX100RF. Here are the specs:

• 102MP sensor of the GFX100
• World’s first camera with: Aspect ratio dial
• World’s first crop lever (in front of camera, not seen on this image)
• combined ISO/Shutter Dial
• about 5K USD Price. That’s more than $1,000 less than the Leica Q3.
• More compact than the Q3 when it comes to the thickness because of the more compact lens.
• The lens is 35mm f/4.0. It’s near pancake and unlike the Q3 this makes it possible to fit it into a jacket.
• It has no IBIS, but this was made to keep the camera thin (and again save costs)
• a little bit taller than X-Pro3
• EVF Only (no hybrid)…again for size and cost reasons
• black and silver color
• announcement March 20

And you think this will be another Winner for Fujifilm?
