Just for fun: Google Trend comparison between the Canon EOS-R, Nikon Z7 and Sony A7III
This is a Google Trend comparison between the new EOS-R, Z7 and A7III. Of course you have to keep in mind that this isn’t a very accurate tool. People for example also do search for “Nikon Z” or “Canon EOS-R”. But I did compare the terms that were the most used. Maybe the only trend we can learn from this is that there is no clear winner yet…
I repeat, this is not a scientific comparison. Still, interesting to look at!
New Canon EOS-R High Resolution camera to be announced at Photokina 2019 in May
CanonWatch reports that the next EOS-R High Resolution camera might be announced at Photokina 2019 in May. There are no rumored specs yet but I hope this model will finally record 4K with no crop and have 2 card slots.
Panasonic new Full Frame S zooms will both have a constant f/4.0 aperture
L-rumors.com got the info about the aperture of the new Panasonic S Full Frame zoom lenses:
24-105mm f/4.0
70-200mm f/4.0
Not surprised to hear that. They surely didn’t look like f/2.8 lenses.

You can join the new L Full Frame Facebook group if you plan to buy this camera. There you can discuss all features and tests once it’s released!
First great pre Black Friday deals on the Sony A6000 and A7II
Sony did NOT announce any new camera at Photokina and PhotoPlus (and this is weird). But to make up for this they are offering some super deals on current gear:
Sony A7II with 28-70mm FE and ton of free extras for $998 at Adorama, Amazon, BHphoto, FocusCamera and BuyDig.
Sony A6000 with two E-mount lenses and free extras for $598 at FocusCamera, Amazon, Adorama, BuyDig and Bhphoto.
The big news here is that the A7II basically cost less than $500 if you subtract the single value of the lens and extras you get in the superkit. How Sony can still make money with this remains a mystery to me :)
First image of the new 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 macro lens for mirrorless APS-C cameras
A source sent us this first image of the new 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 macro lens. It will be available as native E-mount, X-mount, EOS-M mount and MFT mount option. No idea about pricing yet.
Note: The description below contains an erorr when describing the Lens construction. I guess 7Artisans still has to fix this text :)
First BCNranking for October shows Canon EOS-R outselling the Nikon Z7 by two to one
BCNranking finally gave us a glimpse into the effects of the new Full Frame mirrorless war: The Canon EOS-R managed to outsell the Nikon Z7 by two to one. In Nikon’s defense the Z6 still has to start shipping and this is surely going to have a major impact.
The Sony FF mirrorless share dropped from 99,5% (0,5% is Leica) down to 67%. Canon owns 22% and Nikon 10%.
One more thing: APS-C sales went down and MFT sales fell even more rapidly. The Full Frame battle is making the first victims? Below you can see the share based ons ensor size. With Blue being APS-C, Red is MFT, Green FF and Purple other sensor sizes.
