Long time no hear from Sony after their A7rV launch. But there are noe three new registered camera codes in China. Which means we can expect at leas three cameras to be announced before Summertime!:
Phototrend interviewed Keiji Oishi, head of the UX Planning department within the Imaging division of Nikon Corp. He said this:
As soon as we launched the Z fc, a lot of people were clamoring for an equivalent with a full-frame sensor. Of course, we can’t go into details about upcoming products, but we hear these requests and we think about the type of product that could fully meet them.
I believe this would be a great camera and sell really well!
Phototrend. interviewed a bunch of Fuji managers. A nice English summary can be read at Fujirumors. The two future products they teased are:
Now this is exciting!
A bit off that there will be a camera in between the FX3 and A7C!
Nikon Philippines made it clear that on March 25 we will have a new product announcement. There is no solid proof evidence yet what might be announced. But the speculation goes wild this might be for the new Z 8 camera.
The CIPA organization had an event on the CP+ show where they did display some interesting data. The graph on top show how the average price of cameras increased sharply. This is obvious as the smartphone market did up the entry level camera business. Companies now focus on making expensive models with big profit margin.
On this graph on top you see where the cameras are sold mostly. To my surprise Asia as a whole is trending below their top level of 2014. With a small recovery in 2022.
69% of all sold system cameras are mirrorless with the value being at 86%.
DSLR still sells ok in the USA and EU but not in Asia.
