Size comparison between the new Sony A6600, new Canon M6II and the best in class Fuji X-T3

This  week  both Sony and Canon announced new flagship cameras but honestly both failed to at least match the overall performance of the Fuji X-T3. I guess Sony/Canon are a bit “distracted” by their Full Frame range.

ON  courtesy of Camerasize you can  compare the size of  all three. And  today preorders for the new Sony gear started in the USA too:

Sony A6600 at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Calumet DE, Park UK, WexUK.
Sony A6100  at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Calumet DE, Park UK, WexUK.
E 16-55mm F2.8 G at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Calumet DE, Park UK, WexUK.
E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS at Amazon BHphoto, Adorama , FocusCamera. In EU at Calumet DE, Park UK, WexUK.

This is finally the day Sony announced some more APS-C gear!

Panasonic announces the new S1H Sony “killer”

Panasonic has officially announced the S1H. A full coverage can  be seen at L-rumors.com. All you have to know is that this is the official Sony A7sII killer….clickbait clickbait  :)

Jokes aside this is a serious hybrid camera! Nothing wrong as far as I can see….except  of course the usual crappy autofocus. But if you don’t care about that the S1H is a magnificent camera!

But I am sure we will only have to wait til September/October to see Sony’s answer to this camera…and they will come with quite some BIG new features trust me ;)

Preorders:
Panasonic S1H at Amazon, BHphoto. Adorama. FocusCamera. Park UK.
Panasonic 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens at Amazon, BHphoto. Adorama. FocusCamera. Park UK.
Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 MFT II lens at BHphoto. FocusCamera. Park UK.

Note: To not upset the MFT  folks they also announced an updated 25mm II lens :)
