Nikon has become a master at keeping new camera announcements under wraps until the embargo period is over. They’ve been holding back their latest models until 2022. Canon, meanwhile, is in the lead in the APS-C market and will probably release a new camera sometime in 2022.
Nikon Z9
The Nikon Z9 camera is a new compact camera that features a stacked CMOS sensor. This technology gives photographers a number of speed benefits, including improved readout and burst rate. The camera also boasts an improved video performance. It is currently able to record HD video at 30 frames per second.
The camera also offers a powerful autofocus system. It features the most advanced AF system in a compact camera. It features 493 AF points, including 405 Auto-area AF points. The camera also offers 10 AF area modes. It also has a 3D tracking system that allows users to select subjects with the touchscreen, AF box, or AF on button.
The camera also includes a wired remote grip. Video professionals will be delighted to see that the camera supports internal ProRes HQ and Log capture. In addition, it can shoot at a high frame rate for more than two hours. For those who prefer shooting in 4K/60p, the camera is also capable of shooting 8K video.
The new Nikon Z9 camera supports 3D tracking and subject recognition modes. The camera is also capable of identifying up to nine subjects in a frame. This means that even in challenging lighting conditions, the camera can easily focus on the subject, even if the light is dim. The camera can also recognize objects that are in motion, such as a moving vehicle.
The Z9 camera uses an EN-EL18d battery, which is a more advanced version of Nikon’s large EN-EL18 battery. It can also accept all EN-EL18 batteries, but it can only charge the EN-EL18d battery through a USB connection. Using the EN-EL18d battery will result in better performance.
Panasonic Lumix G9
The Panasonic Lumix G9 has a very high dynamic range and good depth of field. It also performs well in low light and is compact. The camera has a 1860-mAh Lithium-ion battery and can shoot around 360-400 shots on a single charge. It has a battery grip for ease of carrying and charging and features multiple charging options.
The camera also has a 5-Axis image stabilization system (IBIS) which is great if you shoot with shaky hands. The stabilization works across all frame rates and resolutions, and allows you to take smooth slow-motion videos. It also has a built-in Wi-Fi connection, NFC, and Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy. These features make it easy to transfer images to smartphones and other compatible devices.
The camera’s new firmware, H-F007014, minimizes focus point shifting to the background during video recording. The new version also fixes the issue of peripheral distortion in video recording, particularly while walking. Moreover, it improves the performance of motion correction. Moreover, the minimum F11 aperture is compatible with the camera’s E-Stabilization system.
The Panasonic Lumix G9 is an APS-C camera with a 26.1-Megapixel CMOS sensor. It features a quad-core X-Processor 4 image processor. Using this camera, you can record 4K videos at 60 frames per second. It also supports Dual I.S. 2.0, which can compensate for up to six stops of camera shake.
Sony A1
The Sony A1 will be capable of shooting 4K video at 120 frames per second. It offers a fully articulated LCD screen and fast autofocus. It also boasts a stabilized sensor. Although its sensor is not large enough to keep up with the speed of a full-frame competitor, it still offers excellent image quality.
A downside to this camera is that it produces large files, which can fill up hard drives. However, lossless compression allows for sufficient detail in images without consuming a ton of storage space. The Sony A1 is also known to have a reliable electronic shutter, which means that you won’t have to worry about malfunctioning shutters or other camera problems.
It does a good job of tracking subject motion, especially in diffused light. However, it struggles a bit with tracking in bright sunlight. While it can track subjects in AF-S mode, it is less effective in AF-C mode. Despite this, it manages to capture great images even in dim light conditions.
The camera is very well-designed and has many customizable buttons. The buttons can be set separately for stills and video. Another feature is its large OLED electronic viewfinder. It has a 9.44M dot resolution and a 0.9x magnification factor. It is incredibly smooth and large.
The Sony A1 is an impressive camera, with a 50MP sensor, a 5-axis stabilisation system, and a superb viewfinder. It also offers great contrast and highlights and excellent color reproduction. The camera has excellent battery life, which is another reason to consider it. However, the Sony A1 is not cheap.
Canon EOS R
Canon Europe has announced the EOS R7 and EOS R10, two new cameras suited for sports and wildlife photography. Both of these cameras feature outstanding speed, ensuring that they are a great fit for these categories. Canon is aiming to increase its market share in this segment by offering more choice for content creators. As such, it has thrown out the EF-M mount and has switched to RF mount, the same mount used for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The rumor website is dynamic, so the specifications might change regularly. However, it does not guarantee that these specs will be the final release specs. The rumor website is unofficial, and until Canon releases an official press release, it will remain a speculative list.
The Canon EOS R is a new camera with a new system. As such, it will expand in stages. Its RF lens system is promising, and the first 4 RF lenses are already impressive. In the coming years, we can expect up to 7 additional lenses.
Canon also plans to add 4K/60p video capabilities to the new EOS R, making it a great choice for videographers and hybrid shooters. In addition to 4K/60p video, the EOS R will feature a full-frame 30MP sensor. The new camera could even feature a CMOS sensor with a lower resolution of 24 MP.
In addition to offering the same sensor as the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, the EOS R features an electronic viewfinder for a new way to capture scenes. It can also shoot 4K videos at 30p and 8fps. It is also smaller and lighter than traditional Canon DSLR cameras. Despite its many advantages, the Canon EOS R is not expected to be discontinued.
Fujifilm X-H2
Fujifilm has announced a new camera – the X-H2 – that will likely replace the X-Pro1. Despite its high price tag, the Fujifilm X-H2 is a great option for landscape photographers, with an incredibly high shutter speed of 1/8000 second and up to 15 frames per second. Moreover, it features a sealed body, which will protect its internal parts from dust and water.
The X-H2 also includes a 5-axis in-body image stabilization system. This is the result of deep learning technology, which makes the camera capable of tracking different subjects with a high level of accuracy. It also features a Pixel Shift Multi Shot function, which allows users to combine multiple frames to produce one image.
The X-H2 also features a 40MP sensor and an improved X-Processor 5. This combination ensures higher resolution and more accurate images. The X-H2 can also shoot 8K/30p video with improved autofocus. This camera also comes with a vertical file transmitter grip.
The camera also offers a large number of codecs, including H.264 and H.265. It also supports 4:2:2 subsampling and Long-GOP and All-I encoding. It can also record 8K movies internally, or 4K oversampled from 8K resolution. It can also record in three Apple ProRes codecs. It also supports ProRes 422 Proxy, which may prove useful in 8K editing workflows.
The X-H2 is the successor to the X-Pro1. It offers the same high-resolution 40MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and high-performance X Processor 5 chip as its predecessor. While the camera can’t match the burst speeds of the X-Pro 1, it does offer similar performance.
