Meike has announced a new 60mm f/2.8 manual focus macro lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras. The lens will be available in various mounts, including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon EF-M and RF, and Micro Four Thirds.
Sigma today announced its new 18-50mm /f2.8 DC DN lens -- a small zoom lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors -- and photographer Gordon Laing decided to see how it compared to Sony's 16-50 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.
In an interview with Amatuer Photographer, Fujifilm's new European President and Managing Director Toshi Iida says that "APS-C is the best-balanced system" and explains why he believes the company has been doing "significantly better" than the competition.
Fujifilm is considered by many to be the champion of the APS-C sensor space. Heavyweights like the X-T4 and the X-Pro3 dominate the ring with first-class features – for an equally heavyweight price. So, what is available to someone with a more modest budget who still wants to get in the ring?
Fujifilm has announced the X-S10, a compact and lightweight mirrorless camera featuring a 26.1-megapixel X-Trans sensor and a newly-designed in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system. The X-S10 also sees a new command dial and overall design that differs from Fujifilm's other cameras.
Canon has announced the successor to the "#1 selling mirrorless camera in the United States," the EOS M50 Mark II mirrorless camera. Featuring a familiar 24.1 megapixel APS-C sized sensor, the M50 Mark II adds a few new tricks like improved autofocus, vertical video support, and live stream support.
Over the past few days, rumors that Canon is preparing to release an EOS M50 Mark II have been all-but-confirmed by dealer product listings. The camera is almost certainly going to be unveiled very soon, and now, we have a pretty good idea about the key specs as well.
With all of the focus on the RF-mount and the debut of the EOS R5 and EOS R6, it's easy to assume that Canon has given up on the EOS M lineup. But according to the most recent reports, that's not true. Canon's in it "for the long haul," with new features and at least one new camera planned for late 2020.
In addition to the Nikon Z5, a new lens, and two Z-mount teleconverters, Nikon also released a few firmware updates today. The Nikon Z6 and Z7 got some minor improvements, while the Nikon Z50 got a significant new feature: Animal Detection AF.
If you were worried that Canon was going to do away with the EOS M lineup of APS-C mirrorless cameras, it seems you have nothing to fear. Recent reports indicate that Canon has two new EOS M cameras in the works, as well as a few new lenses.
After "announcing" the lens some time ago, Venus Optics has officially released the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO: a surprisingly affordable 2X macro lens made specifically for crop-sensor mirrorless cameras made by Fuji, Sony and Canon.
If you can get past the lack of a full-frame sensor, the Fujifilm X-T3 and Sony a6600 are two of the most compelling and full-featured mirrorless cameras on the market today. So while everyone is arguing over full-frame mirrorless, The Slanted Lens decided to do a little APS-C shootout to see which of these cameras is the better performer.
As has become the norm lately, the Nikon Z50 mirrorless APS-C camera has pretty much fully leaked ahead of the official announcement, which is expected tomorrow.
Nikon has a few major announcements on the books for next week. According to the most recent reports, the Nikon Z50 mirrorless APS-C camera, NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens, and possibly the Z-Series battery pack will all three be announced on October 10th.
Canon has just revealed a new entry-level mirrorless APS-C camera. The Canon EOS M200 won't blow anybody's socks off, but it brings some useful upgrades to Canon's popular entry-level mirrorless EOS M100, adding eye-detection autofocus, 4K video, and more.
After weeks of rumors and speculation and leaked specs, Sony has finally unveiled the two APS-C mirrorless cameras we've been expecting: the flagship Sony a6600 with IBIS and a bigger battery, and the entry-level Sony a6100 for photographers and vloggers on a budget.
