These are the ten most sold cameras during the month of February in Japan:
I am not surprised by the ranking…

This week Major US stores started new Sony A7 and A6000 deals on Sony cameras. Check them out at Adorama, Amazon and BHphoto.
This should not be interpreted as a sign that Sony will launch new cameras soon. But for sure there is one major announcement coming in April. We hope at least to get the new A7III if not the long time rumored A9!
Zeiss keeps posting images shot on the yet to be released new Batis telephoto portrait prime lens for the Sony E-mount system. There are no official specs yet although we bet this to be a new 135mm lens (F/2.8 or slightly faster).
One the image you can see on top of this article you can evaluate the Bokeh performance which seems to be rather excellent in my view!
From 50 to 800 ISO, the GFX 50S delivers sumptuous shots: the colors are vivid, the images very detailed. The dynamic range is excellent and it will be possible to climb up to 1,600 or even 3,200 ISO without too much hesitation.
But while the GFX offers the best image quality of the bunch the question remains if the price justifies the comparable negligible image quality difference. Focus Numerique says they would have loved Fuji to go for the larger 55x41mm sensor…
At the Cp+ show Olympus released the updated FT and MFT lens catalogue (PDF here). And there is a very small note that marks the end of their Four Thirds Lens line. Olympus is now officially producing MFT lenses only
There is still no store in USA and Europe that has the Fuji GFX in Stock (Check: BHphoto, Amazon). The next shipment is due to start on March according to Calumet Germany. I am really surprised to see such a high demand for $6,500 camera. I am now seriously hoping Sony and others will make a medium format camera too. That way price may go down to $4,00 :)
And now some adapter news: Kipon annopunced a total of twenty adpaters for the GFX (Full info here). And this is the video showing the new Fotodiox GFX adapters:
I really don’t know how much sense it makes but according Fuji seems to be working on a new $5,000!!! High End APS-C X-Trans camera. This would be Fuji’s first camera for professional sports and action photographers. The key on that camera seems to achieve maximum autofocus speed. But I really wonder if someone will spend $5,000 on an APS-C mirrorless camera yet. It will be hard for anyone to compete against the well established Nikon/Canon sport photography dominance.
