Sigma could finally go “serious” with video mode on their cameras
Cinema5D posted that video interview with Sigma CEO Yamaki:
Here is a rundown of questions asked in this interview:
- 00:17 – How was it to grow-up in a house with an enthusiastic father? (Mr. Michihiro Yamaki established the company in 1961 and passed away in 2012, at the age of 78).
- 01:29 – Can you please share with our audience your daily routine?
- 03:14 – How do you prioritise which mount and lenses to make?
- 04:01 – How easy was the decision to start making the Art line of high-quality lenses?
- 05:27 – In the past, Sigma lenses were considered affordable. Then you decided to hit the upper end of the market. What was the reason?
- 06:53 – In such a crowded market, Sigma is producing a high-quality stills camera that does not offer any video functionality. Why is that?
- 07:51 – Are you able to keep good sales is a declining market?
- 09:07 – Why did you decide to produce cine lenses?
- 09:57 – Where did people go? Why aren’t they buying lenses anymore?
- 10:26 – What would be your dream zoom lens?
X100F and X-T20 will be announced on January 19
Fujirumors reports quite a surprising news: Fuji will introduce two new X cameras on January 19! The surprise is that we will not only see the new X100F but also the new X-T20!
Fuji really goes ALl-in lately. The past 12 months they announced so many cameras I actually wonder what’s left for the rest of the 2017 year…

The Relounch costs $99 per month and has only one button and no LCD screen
Well this is certainly a weird way of trying to make money on cameras: Relounch (website here) offers a subscription service which costs $99 per month. For that you get a camera with one button only(!) and a photo development service:
At Relonch, we understand that you shouldn’t be forced to deal with a bunch of hassles to get the remarkable photos you want. We’ve replaced the traditional Chain of Pain with a single small round button. With Relonch, you get:
- An image capture device that is perfectly pre-configured with a large sensor and the right lens
- Pictured Technology – a different approach to photo development that applies the best settings for each object in the photo and takes lighting conditions into account.
Only this technology ensures that you get remarkable photos with just one click.
Nikon registered a new camera (probably a new Nikon 1 model)
Nikon registered a new camera model with the code “N1610”. This is likely to be a new Nikon 1 camera model. Once registered it takes up to 1-2 months until the camera gets announced. So expect it to be announced between the CES and Cp+ show.
