News from Nikon: Teaser shows their new Full Frame mirrorless camera

After many years Nikon finally decided to launch their first “serious” mirrorless system camera. Today they launched that teaser video which shows the form of their new Full Frame mirrorless. It will be interesting to see how the new Nikon system will affect Olympus and Panasonic. It’s likely that the new competition will drive down the price of Full Frame mirrorless cameras. Maybe Olympus and Panasonic will see a serious risk in this?

Are these dots purple or blue? Your answer might not be as reliable as you think

Though primarily for stills, the Panasonic G9 is a pretty great video camera (Imaging Resource).

Olympus takes second spot on the Japanese mirrorless market

Olympus is no more the leader in the mirrorless system camera market. According to a new BCNretail report during the first six months 2018 Canon is on top with 30,1% share over Olympus 27,7% share.

Still a mystery for me how such an incomplete system like the one that Canon has can overthrow all other mirrorless makers (Olympus-Panasonic-Fuji-Sony).

Dpreview added the Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9 on their studio scene comparison:

“Our technical evaluation of the Panasonic GX9 has included a trip to the studio, where we put its 20MP Four Thirds sensor in front of our standard test scene. We’ve seen solid image quality from this sensor before, but Panasonic says that it has gone one step further and improved color rendition compared to both the 20MP GX8 and 16MP GX85. Take a closer look at its performance against its predecessors as well as its peers.”
