Canon executives said in an interview that Camera industry will shrink further more by 50% in upcoming years. But, at the same time Fujifilm totally disagrees with Canon’s prediction, they believe that Market growth will depend on innovation of camera makers.
Dave Etchells/Imaging Resource: So one thing we’re asking everybody is Mitarai-san from Canon is on record recently…
<crosstalk, laughter>
DE: You’ve been hearing that too? Yeah, and so he says that the interchangeable-lens business is going to contract by half, over the next two years. Do you agree with that assessment? What are your own projections?
TI: We really just cannot believe that projection of Canon’s.
DE: Yeah. What are your projections, what do you think the market will do overall?
TI: I think it all depends on what innovation and what influence comes from the manufacturers. It’s our mission to make the market viable. So I think our projection is there’s a lot of room even to grow further in the camera market.
DE: It might even grow? (!)
TI: Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we look at the Asian market, there’s a huge population over there. Some countries may decline, but some countries soon will change to growth. I think overall, the global camera market, you know.
Nikon Z7 test score published at DXO Mark LAB. Of course the camera is one of the best performing Mirrorless camera and scored almost similar rating compared to Nikon D850 DSLR camera. BTW, its look like Nikon is using same sensor of Nikon D850 camera inside Nikon Z7. Fabrication of AF points inside the D850 sensor doesn’t change its performance scale.
As you can see Nikon Z7 is just behind the Sony A7R III camera with a very marginal difference. BTW, best low light camera among the list is Sony A7 III with highest low light score.
Xclusive: According to latest rumors surfaced from the web, After Nikon Fullframe Mirrorless camera it’s look like Nikon in the mood to announce Nikon DX Mirrorless camera, possible before June 2019. The time frame we are getting for DX format Mirrorless camera announcement is said to between somewhere between March and June 2019.
We have gathered multiple reports from past few weeks and if Nikon goes in schedule then we our brand new DX format Mirrorless camera system before June 2019.
Canon already have their APS-C Line of Mirrorless camera from a long time and recently they have also publicly announced that they are cannibalizing DSLRs in favor of Mirrorless camera. So, they are clear about their future strategy.
BTW, Nikon is also walking on the same path and from past 1 year we haven’t seen any serious DSLR announcement from Nikon.
It’s very clear that if Nikon DO NOT have any single APS-C Mirrorless cameras to compete against existing mirrorless systems. So, we do believe either this, most probably before June we will have some glimpse of upcoming Nikon DX Mirrorless systems.
TNCWe are the first website to let you know that Nikon is working on Hybrid AF sensors for their DSLR camera. As we all know that none of the Nikon DSLRs right now uses Hybrid Sensors. And that’s why Nikon users sometime complain about slow AF while using LIVE VIEW display or creating a video.

Whoa, Finally we have the images of the upcoming Nikon Z1 entry level Mirrorless camera. So, Canon EOS RP is finally getting a new Strong competitor after the Sony A7 II camera. It’s really interesting to see what features coming along with the super affordable Nikon Z1 fullframe mirrorless camera.
Btw, instead of updating their super-outdated 5 year old Nikon D610 camera, they will be soon introducing the new Nikon Z1 camera. It’s a clear effort to switch the DSLR consumer base to mirrorless.
Nikon Z1 – Best Entry Level Mirrorless of 2019?
I do believe the Nikon Z1 do have the potential to become the best entry level Miroroless camera of 2019. When we talk about price and specs ratio, unlike Canon, Nikon never puts any forced limitation in it’s camera so I am expecting a 24 MP Hybrid senor, Built-in 5axis IS and 4K 30p without N-Log support. If all these features arrive at EOS RP price range, despite of being a Canon user I will buy this camera to support Nikon.
Very first images of the upcoming Nikon Z 24-70 F2.8 S First Lens leaked, the lens is expected to announce very soon. Take a look at the list of models codes of upcoming camera.
