A new camera design takes inspiration from an unusual, short-lived analog camera type in the 1980s to create a thoroughly modern image-making device. The camera concept, which looks remarkably real and was made by industrial designer Olga Orel, delivers a digital re-imagining of vintage quadrascopic cameras.
Both Panasonic and OM Digital (formerly Olympus), the champions of Micro Four Thirds, are both planning to release new cameras this month and have set up countdown clocks on their respective websites.
Canon Rumors came through in a big way this morning. After hearing a few different release dates and reporting on some upcoming products, the rumor site got their hands on a leaked image of the full EOS R lineup, and a specific release date for a whole bunch of exciting products.
If you've been following the most recent rumors regarding the long-awaited Canon APS-C flagship 7D Mark II, you know that the latest news is that Canon has some fancy new sensor technology in the works, and that it's supposed to re-establish Canon as an imaging leader.
None of the rumor sites have been able to pin down what this sensor tech actually is, but its existence seems a near certainty; and now, it looks like the 7D won't be the only release to benefit from it. Canon may be refreshing the 5D and 1D lines as well.
Sony is serious about this whole "catching up to Canon and Nikon" thing -- the company has announced four new large sensor cameras, and each one is a doozy. The cameras, which hit store shelves in a couple of months, include the NEX-7 and NEX-5N mirrorless cameras and the A77 and A65 SLT (AKA translucent mirror) cameras.
