Seems like Olympus and Sony are the companies that still will give us some stuff the upcoming months. As I reported yesterday the new Olympus TG-5 (image on top) and the Sony 16-35mm FE lens will be announced within days or weeks.
But there seems to be more to come. We now got reports about possible announcement from both companies in June-July too…
P.S.: Still not A7rIII or A9r coming any time soon folks….
We got for sure one (if not two)! product announcement this week (or the week after that):
Nothing to expect from Canon-Nikon-Fuji-Panasonic yet…
CanonWatch reports that Canon is likely to launch a new EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6 L in 2018. This might be interesting news for EOS-M owners or Sony E-mount camera owners too. Particularly if the new Canon will beat the IQ performance of the Tamron 150-600mm lens (picture on top).
Sony is now showing the A9 on different in store events around the world. Of all the hands-on test videos we are showing you this simple A9 Eye-tracking performance test. This is probably the one feature that will be used by wedding photographers. And it’s nice to see how well it works on the A9!
More A9 tests by Jan Tichy, Jason Lanier, Cameraland and Photoscala.
The Sony A9 will start shipping on May 25 at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, BestBuy. FocusCamera. Calumet.de.
Ah finally! Being a 6×7 shooter (yes I still shoot on film cameras) I really do love that new project on Kickstarter. Just watch the video above and you will agree with me that this is a genius idea!
Nikon released their fiscal report for the year 2016.
In 2016 Operating income increased from the previous forecast up to ¥50.9 billion. But the net income of decreased to -¥7.1 billion.
For the year 2017 Nikon expects the operating profit to decrease down to ¥45 billion while profit should go up to ¥34 billion.
What about the Camera sales? Well just like every other manufacturer Nikon is focusing on making a shift to mid to high-end products and on reducing costs. SO net sales are declining and operating income too.
Today we got new info about the next announcements:
