Nikon mirrorless cameras are stealing the spotlight in 2025 financial report, then I can’t get Z50 II and the Nikon Z6 III according to Nikon Imaging Business 5.6% increase in the revenue that will reach 295,363 million yen for the fiscal year ending March 2025, but what makes these two mirrorless cameras so popular among the Nikon users, let’s explore some facts
In the Imaging Products Business, the Group recorded a year-on-year increase in revenue due to an increase in the number of interchangeable lenses and mirrorless cameras sold, mainly Z50II APS-C size mirrorless camera, Z6III fullframe mirrorless camera, and other new products, as well as the positive effects of the yen depreciation. The Group, however, recorded a year-on-year decrease in profit due to the operating loss of RED, which was affected by the sluggish cinema industry, and the recognition of one-time costs such as impairment losses on non-current assets at Mark Roberts Motion Control Limited. As a result, this business segment recorded revenue of 295,363 million yen (up 5.6% year on year) and operating profit of 41,306 million yen (down 11.3% year on year).
Why the Nikon Z50 II and Nikon Z6 III are winning
The Nikon Z50 II is very much popular among beginner wedding photographers, hybrid shooters, and even content creators, and the Z6 II is popular among professionals. Nikon Z50 II and the Nikon Z6 III have more than just cameras, they are the actual proof of Nikon’s mirrorless momentum in 2025. Now Nikon is doubling down on the mirrorless plan and potentially leading to new lenses, accessories, and even planning higher-end models like Z9 Mark II, as well as they’re also planning to refresh the Nikon Z30 with Nikon Z30 Mark II as per the latest set of rumours.

Leica SL3-S Press Release
The new full-frame system camera with a 24 megapixel sensor, fast autofocus and enhanced video functions is now available.
Teaneck, January 16th, 2025. Leica Camera AG launched the SL-System in 2015, seamlessly blending photography and videography in a unique way right from the very start. With this full-frame system based on the L-Mount standard, Leica firmly established itself in the world of professional audiovisual production. The latest version of SL-System cameras is the Leica SL3, which was launched in March 2024. As with all Leica products, it fulfils the highest standards of image and production quality, setting new benchmarks for ease of use with its unique user interface. These values are now embodied in a new SL-System camera: the Leica SL3-S.
When developing the Leica SL3-S, Leica focused on the high demands of professional photography and videography. In doing so, the brand prioritized speed, flexibility and versatility. The result is a camera that combines the highest image quality for both photography and videography with optimum working speed and reliability. The Leica SL3-S integrates state-of-the-art technology into an outstanding design. It also offers numerous new functions that ensure a professional workflow for producing audiovisual content.
A new BSI CMOS full-frame sensor with 24-megapixel native resolution, 48- and 96-megapixel multi- shot modes, and a new autofocus system form the core of the Leica SL3-S. Securely protected by an IP54-certified solid all-metal body, Leica combines the strengths of three focus technologies here: the latest generation in phase detection AF (PDAF), depth map (object detection AF) and contrast detection AF enable continuous shooting with the Leica SL3-S at up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus support. This makes the SL3-S the fastest Leica system camera ever built. Together with a high dynamic range and the impressive ISO range of 50 to 200,000, the SL3-S delivers excellent- quality photos and videos in all shooting situations.
The Leica SL3-S is also the first camera in the SL-System to be equipped with content credentials technology in accordance with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) for photos. If desired, each image can be signed with tamper-proof metadata, such as the camera model and author information, as well as creation and editing data. In order to prove authenticity with verifiable image content and to make edits transparent, the content credentials can be checked using freely available verification tools (verify.contentauthenticity.org).
The Leica SL3-S records videos in a resolution of up to 6K and offers 3:2 open-gate recording, a feature that provides flexibility when creating video content for a wide variety of channels. For example, portrait format videos can be recorded in 4K, 9:16 without any loss of quality and the field of view in recorded material can also be determined retrospectively. The Leica SL3-S records HDMI- RAW in 5.9K at 30 fps to external display recorders. What’s more, thanks to the fast CFexpress type B interface, ProRes 4:2:2 HQ in 5.8K at 30 fps or C4K at 60 fps can also be internally recorded without any recording time limits. It is also possible to record directly to an external SSD hard drive via the USB-C interface, which further increases the flexibility of the Leica SL3-S. A dedicated timecode interface enables professional synchronization of image and sound on set. The Maestro IV processor with L2 technology effortlessly handles enormous amounts of data, resulting in images with superb color rendering, high dynamic range and excellent noise behavior in the L-Log color space. This processor has been lauded internationally for its optimal quality.
The versatile interfaces and powerful connectivity of the SL3-S ensure a seamless professional workflow. It has slots for CFexpress type B and UHS-II SD memory cards, a USB-C port for fast data transfer, tethering, SSD connection or power supply, and a full-size HDMI 2.1 output for external LCD panels or recording devices. In addition, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with MIMO technology enable fast, stable connection to the Leica FOTOS App, with which DNG images can be transferred in full resolution in a matter of seconds. As a certified Apple “Made for iPhone® and iPad®” accessory, the Leica SL3-S can be connected directly to Apple products using the supplied USB-C cable. Over the course of 2025, the Camera-to-Cloud function will also become available via Adobe frame.io, using which videos and photos can be uploaded directly from the camera to the Adobe frame.io cloud for further processing.
Thanks to the L-Mount, the Leica SL3-S can be combined with the outstanding lenses for all Leica camera systems, as well as the broad range from super wide-angle lenses to super telephoto zoom lenses from the L-Mount alliance partners. Various Cine lenses can also be used via adapters, the special scales for which can be found in the video menu of the Leica SL3-S. The lens bayonet mount ensures that the Leica SL3-S offers comprehensive system compatibility. In addition, the legendary Leica M-Lenses’ full potential can be harnessed thanks to the special design of the image sensor and an external light sensor. Photographers and videographers benefit from the unrivalled imaging performance and compact design of the Leica M-Lenses together with the incredible features of the SL3-S. Image stabilization of up to 5 stops integrated into the camera body further extends the range of applications for M-Lenses.
The EyeRes® viewfinder of the Leica SL3-S is equipped with a painstakingly produced optical system of glass lenses. It displays the subject crystal clear at all times with up to 120 images per second and a resolution of 5.76 million pixels. Thanks to the live preview, it offers full control over the exposure and composition of shots even before the shutter is released. Another new feature of the SL3-S is the tilting 3.2-inch high-res touchscreen with a high-quality tilting mechanism, which makes it even easier to take photos and videos from different angles.
A further highlight is the interface, already familiar to users of the SL3. As with the SL3, the optimizations to the SL3-S include ergonomic and haptic features, as well as the user interface and menu navigation. The structured icon and menu design makes navigation even easier, with distinct sections for photo and video functions. The Cine mode has been tailored specifically to professional video production needs.
Freely assignable FN buttons and optimized touch interaction throughout the camera menu allow intuitive and convenient operation. When taking photos and filming, the entire user interface of the SL3-S aligns itself in landscape or portrait format according to the camera position. The SL3-S is noticeably lighter and more compact than its predecessors and feels even better in the hand thanks to its optimized design. In addition, the complete range of accessories already available for the Leica SL3 are also compatible with the SL3-S.
The Leica SL3-S is now available worldwide in all Leica Stores, in the Leica Online Store and from specialized dealers. The retail price is $5,295.

Leica Q3 Official Press Release
NEW: Leica Q3 43
The Unique, Compact Full-Frame Camera Now with a
New APO-Summicron 43 f/2 ASPH. Lens.
Teaneck, September 26th, 2024. In 2015, Leica Camera AG introduced a completely new camera segment with the launch of the Leica Q. Now in its third generation, the compact full-frame Leica Q3, with a fixed focal length of 28mm, inspires people all over the world. In addition to the unrivalled standards of design, workmanship, image quality and operation, the success of the Q-Family is especially attributed to its close dialogue with its users. Now, Leica fulfils a frequently expressed wish and introduces the Leica Q3 with a 43mm fixed focal length.
At the heart of the Leica Q3 43 is a unique, newly developed lens. The APO-Summicron 43 f/2 ASPH. not only joins the family of legendary Leica APO lenses, renowned among the best lenses in the world, but also distinguishes itself within Leica’s own lens portfolio. The focal length closely mirrors the natural perception of the human eye, enabling the creation of realistic, distortion-free images through the high-resolution OLED viewfinder. This makes the versatile 43mm focal length ideal for both for street photography and portraits. Like its sister model, the Leica Q3, the Leica Q3 43 also features an integrated macro mode for detailed close-ups and a leaf shutter for high-speed flash photography.
The Leica Q3 43 creates extraordinarily sharp, high-contrast images in any lighting condition thanks to its complex construction of the apochromatically corrected optical design, which includes four aspherical elements, while maintaining its compact, lightweight design. The new APO lens delivers superior performance at its maximum aperture of f/2 making it possible to separate subjects from the background with a harmonious bokeh. Combined with its outstanding ISO performance, the APO lens enables short exposure times, even in low light. Photos and videos can be taken at the 43, 60, 75, 90, 120 and 150mm focal lengths by using the frame lines displayed in the 5.76MP OLED viewfinder, or on the touch friendly tiltable monitor.
In addition to the lens, the Leica Q3 43 also differentiates itself visually from its sister model. The new grey leather stands out elegantly against the black camera body and celebrates the timeless design that Leica cameras are renowned for worldwide.
With easy-to-use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the Leica Q3 43 provides a seamless mobile workflow. Certified as a ‘Made for iPhone® and an iPad® accessory, it ensures an exceptionally smooth connection experience. When paired with the Leica FOTOS app, data transfers quickly and reliably, and creative Leica Looks can be easily loaded onto the camera. With the Leica Q3 43, Leica also introduces a new Leica Look: Leica Chrome. Leica Chrome can be applied to JPEGs, adding an analogue charm to one’s images. The expanding range of Leica Looks allows for the creation of unique, creative and striking images directly in the camera, ready to be instantly shared with the world via the Leica FOTOS app.
Both Leica Q3 models carry the same DNA. Like the Leica Q3, the BSI CMOS full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology in the Leica Q3 43 gives you a choice between a resolution of 60, 36 and 18 megapixels. The camera’s ISO range of 50 to 100,000, coupled with a highprecision, fast hybrid autofocus system makes this robust IP52-rated device the perfect tool to capture your unique perspective. In addition, the Leica Q3 43 offers the possibility to connect external RØDE microphones via USB-C. Whether you’re shooting in 8K resolution or capturing stunning photos, this German-engineered camera seamlessly integrates into your daily creative routine, allowing you to capture stylish shots with unparalleled Leica quality in any situation.
The Leica Q3 43 fits comfortably in your hand, particularly when paired with the new optional multifunction protector crafted from sleek black leather. This protector includes an integrated grip, offers direct access to the battery, and can be swiftly mounted onto tripods thanks to its Arca-Swiss compatibility. The Leica Q3’s practical, comfortable and stylish accessories are all available for the Leica Q3 43. These accessories include a unique wireless charging handgrip that works with the elegant Drop XL Wireless Charger for inductive charging, a range of protectors and carrying straps in various leather colors, and a selection of stylish thumb rests, soft release buttons, filters and colorful round retro lens hoods. Each accessory enhances the individual look and functionality of the Leica Q3 43.
The Leica Q3 43 is now available worldwide at all Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and authorized dealers. The retail price of the Leica Q3 43 is $6,895.00, and the new multifunction protector with integrated handgrip is $250.00.

According to the latest information, the Leica V-Lux 5 camera has been discontinued and there is no further information shareed by Leica or the source whether Leica will continue this series or not, according to the latest reports we have.
TNC take – There is no way that Leica can continue the V-Lux series without the support of Panasonic’s rebranded cameras.
We all know and it’s written all over the internet that the Leica V-Lux 5 was a rebranded version of the Panasonic FZ 1000 Mark 2, specs wise both of them are still excellent options for those who love to have a compact zoom camera with DCI 4k video recording capability.
The Panasonic FZ 1000 II was announced back in March 2019, and Leica announced the V-Lux 5 Camera with some external grooming on 24 September 2020. But, after that, Panasonic kept silent on their FZ1000 series and no further update arrived. Maybe due to the low demand for compact cameras, the company decided to pause or halt the R&D of FZ series cameras.
Now we all know that Panasonic has dropped the support of their compact series except the G100 (the only compact still receiving updates), Even in the latest release, the entire focus of the Panasonic Lumix brand is on the research and development of their upcoming full-frame mirrorless cameras. They are also sharing some attention over the Micro Four Thirds cameras and so we are expecting the arrival of the Panasonic GH7 this year.
But at the end of the story, Leica has no option left. They are not able to rebrand any more new cameras in the name of the V-Lux series.
