Highly reliable sources confirmed to us that Canon will launch a new EOS-R Full Frame camera on February 14. This will be a new entry level model and cost $1599. And yes, obvisouly it still has one SD slot. But at that price it makes sense.

The CIPA data for the year 2018 has now been published and the results are depressing. Compared with the previous year 2017 Japanese manufacturer shipped 20% less camera units (-14$ drop in terms of value in YEN).
DSLR camera sales dropped 13% in unit and 17% in value while mirrorless camera sales increased by 1,4% in unit and 23% in value.
This certifies the trend seeing DSLR slowly disappearing from the market with mirrorless becoming mainstream in an overall still shrinking market.
Canon recently said they expect two more years of market shrinking until market stabilizes.
After months of teasing and leaks we finally can place our preorders on the new S gear. But you need quite a lot of money for that :)

Rewview in progress at Dpreview. Hands-on at Lcegroup. Hands-on at ePhotozine. S1R review at Photographyblog. First impressions at ThePhoBlographer.
Hasselblad registered a new X1DII at the bluetooth agency. The camera is likely to be announced within the next couple of months and I bet it will use the same sensor used on the Fuji GFX100s. Which means it has a 101 Megapixel Sony sensor that can do 4k30p.
Let’s hope the X1D will mantain it’s design because the GFX100s is going to be huge!
