In an interview released by FDtimes the new RED Ceo Oishi he confirmed that in the future we will get Z-mount RED cameras:

We would like to introduce RED cameras with a Z Mount as one of the options in the future. It will be in addition to the RF mount currently offered, but it could take a couple of years.

Interestingly they do not plan to phase out the Canon mount:

We’re not going to take away people’s Canon mounts, because that would be unfair to the customer.

And yes, they are considering making Z-mount lenses too:

Our current Z lens series has been designed for higher resolution and precise image reproduction. In the future, we would like to take these different approaches into consideration for an additional cinema lens lineup if we have a chance. We do understand the market requirements.

TikTokkers, Youtubers, Instagrammers rejoice! Panasonic will soon announce a Full Frame L-mount cameras for you!

“Influencers” are the new cow to milk and that’s why Panasonic will soon announce a new Full Frame L-mount cameras made for them! The rumors says:

  • it’s a very affordable Full Frame camera
  • very compact to make it easy to carry it with you
  • no EVF…apparently tiktokkers don’t need that :)
  • fully articulating screen to see you face while say some stupid things :)
  • some extra special “influencer” features  (have no info about exactly what those features are).

Also Sony will announce a vlogger camera in late May, the ZV-E10II. I couldn’t care less about those kind of cameras but the truth is that they are selling hot. The Sony ZV-E10 is actually among the best selling cameras on Amazon :(

Anyway, I hope that one day Panasonic will also make “decent” Full Frame version of that beautiful LX100!

Stunning surprise: Fujifilm will make a digital T-X1 panoramic camera by 2028?

If there is one company that can think “differently” when it comes to cameras than this is Fujifilm. And there is now a fair chance that in 2028 they will launch a new digital version of the epic T-X1 panoramic film camera.

There is no information yet on possible specifications and sensor size. The original TX-1 could capture two formats: conventional 24×36mm format and a 24×65mm panoramic format. Perhaps the new digital version will have the same feature? Three lenses were made for this camera: 45mm f/4, 90mm f/4 and 30mm f/5.6.

And yes, this TX camera was made in partnership with Hasselblad. I don’t think they will make a partnership for the digital version this time?
