Late last month, at a press event in China, Canon showed off a glimpse of the 4K camera it's planning to launch in the near future. At the time the camera was reported to have a 1-inch CMOS sensor, a fixed 10X lens (24-240mm equiv.), built-in W-Fi, and an external viewfinder. We're hearing a few more details about the camera now as Canon gets it ready for an unveiling.
Update: Oops. It turns out the camera was already named and shown by Canon last month. Please see the update below.
CES 2015 came and went, and there is still no mention of the large-sensor, large-lens PowerShot camera that Canon started teasing late last year. However, a new photo put up on Canon Netherlands' PowerShot page appears to show a camera that doesn't officially exist yet -- could this be a first glimpse of the upcoming PowerShot for pros?
Nikon will reportedly announce a special version of the D810 full frame DSLR next week that's designed specifically for astrophotography.
The Canon 5D Mark III was first announced back in March 2012, so it should be due for a replacement soon. There are some interesting new rumors swirling around regarding what that successor might look like. If they are accurate, then Canon may be planning not one, but three DSLRs as followups to the 5D Mark III.
Do you recognize the DSLR seen in the photograph above? Reader Florian Feuchtner spotted the camera in a Connect Station product photo posted to Canon Austria's Facebook page yesterday. What's strange is that the design doesn't seem to match the backsides of any current Canon DSLR.
In the past several years, there have been quite a few mentions of modular camera designs that split sensors, screens, and bodies of cameras into separate, replaceable parts. Today is the first time we've heard of a completely modular lens system.
A recently published Nikon patent appears to show just that: a lens that is assembled by connecting a number of circular pieces to form a complete barrel.
Planning to purchase a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D lens? You might want to hold off for now: Nikon is rumored to have a replacement to that lens ready for a near-future launch.
Canon will be launching a new high megapixel DSLR sometime in 2015. The camera will reportedly offer a resolution of somewhere around 50 megapixels, and the body shape will not be of the EOS-1 style with a built-in vertical grip.
Ever since the Nikon 1 Series mirrorless cameras were announced with their 2.7x crop factor sensor, Nikon shooters have been waiting for a mirrorless camera with a larger sensor. The wait may soon be coming to an end.
A newly discovered Japanese patent shows that Nikon may be planning quite a jump in sensor size for its mirrorless cameras: from 2.7x crop to full frame.
Canon and Nikon DSLRs have traditionally been neck and neck in terms of feature sets, but one thing that Canon has offered since the T4i in 2012 is a full-fledged touchscreen interface.
There's good news for Nikon shooters, though: the gap is set to close in the very near future. Nikon's new D5500 will reportedly be announced in January 2015, and the camera will feature a touchscreen LCD.
If you're a professional photographer using Fujifilm camera equipment and have been envious of Canon and Nikon's professional service departments, take heart: you may soon have top tier support and services starting next year.
When popular digital cameras are replaced with followup versions, photographers generally expect to see an improved sensor in the list of specifications. That may not be true with Olympus' followup to its well-regarded E-M5 mirrorless camera: the upcoming camera will reportedly pack the exact same sensor as its predecessor.
Some hugely innovative news is coming out of the Olympus rumor mill today. According to highly trusted sources, the followup to the Olympus OM-D E-M5 will take a page out of Hasselblad's multi-shot book and, using its sensor shift capabilities, spit out 40MP images from its 16MP sensor!
It's almost too much to hope for, so we'll tell you to start with the salt and go from there on this rumor. Apparently, sources are saying Canon is finally going to get serious about mirrorless cameras this upcoming year by releasing an all-new mirrorless camera that will sport a full-frame sensor. *insert high pitch noises here*
If you thought that 41-megapixel camera in the Lumia 1020 was a bit... excessive... then you're probably going to find the newest rumors about the 1020 followup a bit crazy. Apparently Microsoft intends to pack even more megapixels onto the next camera's sensor, making it far and away the highest resolution camera phone in the world.
One of the big selling points of each new iPhone since 2007 has been improved camera quality. If new rumors are to be believed, we may not have seen the biggest quality jump yet.
The latest word on the street is that next year's iPhone may boast "the biggest camera jump ever."
We weren't kidding when we said the Sony rumor mill was roiling. Hours after more details surfaced about Sony's upcoming 'pro' FF E-Mount camera (possibly called the a9), an intriguing list of specs for a Sony a7 replacement appeared online.
And the best part? It's possible this a7 replacement will arrive officially within the next few days!
The Sony rumor mill is roiling today as details and specs surface about new full-frame E-Mount cameras that the electronics company is planning to release. One of the juiciest bits of news is that Sony's rumored 'Pro' FF E-Mount camera won't be an updated version of the a7, a7r or a7s... but the first of a whole new line.
Not long ago an image of Canon’s upcoming 11–24mm f/4L lens leaked out for the world to see, but many thought it might be fake... possibly because they didn't want to get their hopes up. Today, however, hopes can soar, because it seems Canon Germany's website accidentally posted the lens, all-but-confirming that it does indeed exist.
Holy product leaks Batman! Info and photo leaks don't get much more comprehensive than this. In what they're actually titling the official introduction post, Canon Rumors has posted four higher res product shots of the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II alongside full specs, pricing, and a detailed description of the lens from top to bottom.
At this point, it would be a formality for Canon to even announce the darn thing. But if you want to save the surprise for the official announcement of this Unicorn lens, we don't suggest you read on.
Canon's EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM debuted in 1998, and over a decade and a half later we're still waiting for a replacement. But we might not be waiting very much longer at all. In fact, recent rumors now backed up by the first leaked image indicate that this lens will arrive this month.
Olympus has been quiet on the OM-D front for a while now. Ever since the E-M10 was released in January, the only real addition to the line was the silver E-M1 and a major firmware update in September. But that looks to be changing soon.
There's no doubt on the rumor mill that Canon is planning to release several cameras in 2015, including some that might be quite revolutionary, but there is some doubt about who will be making the sensors in those cameras.
The phrase "megapixel war" has been thrown around for quite some time now, but could we be seeing the beginnings of a "K war"? Sony is rumored to be working on a mirrorless full frame camera that captures footage at a staggering 8K resolution.
Here's an interesting rumor from the Canon camp. You know that 'modular' phone Google is working on that will let you swap out pieces of it -- say, the camera, or the processor -- by removing and attaching different pieces? Well, fresh rumors suggest Canon is thinking of doing something similar with a forthcoming DSLR.
A few weeks ago we shared the rumor that Sony and Mamiya were teaming up to release two medium format rangerfinder-style cameras in 2015.
Today, we have a few extra details on that exciting rumor as more sources come forward to share some of the specs we will supposedly see if and when these cameras become a reality.
New whisperings in the rumor mill are giving fans of Sony's E-Mount APS-C cameras (you know, the ones that used to be called NEX) something to look forward to in 2015. No, it's not the a6100, we're talking about a true-blue followup to the NEX-7, supposedly called the a7000.
Fuji fans anxious for the arrival of the long-awaited X-Pro2 might only have a few more months left to wait. New rumors suggest that the followup to the popular X-Pro1 will arrive in early 2015.
In August, the rumor mill started buzzing about Canon having a new 11-24mm lens up its sleeve. The next month, a leaked photo gave us our first glimpse of that lens, an 11-24mm f/4L.
There is now more confirmation that this lens is in fact legit. That's the good news. The bad news? It will likely cost quite a pretty penny.
It looks like Canon isn't the only one ready to re-start the dreaded Megapixel Wars with a high megapixel camera that has been all but confirmed to exist. Nope, fresh info from highly trusted sources claims that Sony will be jumping into the fray as well with a 46MP full-frame camera to be announced at the beginning of 2015.
