Digitalcameraworld: Nikon High End camera with 8K, 45MP, coming in spring/summer

According to a report on Digitalcameraworld Nikon apparently will launch a Sony A1 Canon EOS-R5 competitor in Spring/Summer. Apparently there will be two cameras from Nikon:

  1. The 45MP 8K model
  2. A new even Higher Resolution camera after that

Both Nikon and Panasonic are struggling to keep up with Sony’s and Canon’s pace. I don’t know if simply matching the competitions performance is enough for those companies…

Sigma launched the DG DN lens design hoodies :)

 

Well, don’t know if I would buy this :)

OM Digital makes some bold statements….will they actually deliver?

OM Digital issued a press release to claim they now have the number 1 share in Japan among all different camera mount systems. All good so far…but it’ not like they had a role YET in this :) They also promised that at the CPplus show they will finally “talk about the future of OM-D”.. Now hopefully they can give us some confidence in the future of MFT. By the way Panasonic…what’s your plan with MFT?

Here is what we really know so far (by Peter Forsgård):
