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.

The CEO of Sigma Corporation recently stated in an interview regarding the Foveon X3 sensor: “Unfortunately, there has been no significant progress in the development of the Foveon X3 sensor since 2023”. Although a prototype of the Foveon X3 sensor has been developed, some design errors were discovered, leading to the need for modifications. The modified design has been submitted to the manufacturing factory, and we are currently awaiting the next-generation prototype.
We are still in the design phase of the new image sensor, which may require the development of new manufacturing processes and further research. Therefore, it may take more time to develop the new sensor.

A constant F2.8 full-frame E-mount lens that offers high-resolution image quality, a wide-angle zoom range and excellent portability
SAN DIEGO. April 16, 2024 – Sony Electronics is pleased to announce the FE 16-25mm F2.8 G (SEL1625G), a large-aperture wide-angle zoom lens compatible with Sony’s α™ (Alpha™) E-mount cameras. This latest addition delivers sharp imagery from 16 mm through 25 mm while maintaining a maximum aperture of F2.8 over the entire zoom range. The FE 16-25mm F2.8 G is the smallest and lightest constant F2.8 zoom lens that Sony has produced to date. The compact design is a signature feature of Sony’s G lens series and makes it a highly portable lens option.
The FE 16-25mm F2.8 G’s wide-angle lens offers photographers and videographers an expanded range of creative expression, allowing them to capture a variety of subjects including landscapes, architecture, portraits, and selfie-shooting. This new addition follows the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G standard zoom lens announced February 2024, both offering many of the same characteristics including filter diameter, aperture, and compact size and weight.
“The FE 16-25mm F2.8 G was designed to offer creators a wide-angle lens option that perfectly balances large-aperture, compact form factor, and high-image quality. This is the 73rd addition to our E-mount lens line-up, and just another step in our commitment to providing photographers and videographers with the perfect lens solutions for their specific needs,” says Yang Cheng, Vice President, Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. “The FE 16-25mm F2.8 G is a fantastic lens with high-resolution performance, beautiful bokeh, and high precision autofocus.

Furthermore, it supports high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking of up to 120 frames per second, a feature capable of being used when paired with the Alpha 9 III full-frame mirrorless cameraii.
The FE 16-25mm F2.8 G excels in video performance, ensuring smooth and precise focusing even when shooting high-frame-rate videos such as 4K120p or FHD240piii. The lens is equipped with linear response manual focus (MF), allowing videographers to make precise focus adjustments with ease. Additionally, it supports in-body Active Mode Image Stabilizationiv and Focus Breathing to optimize video capture.

We are getting more confirmation that the Nikon Z 6 Mark III camera will carry a 24-megapixel sensor. This information recently broke out from a Chinese source, which is approximately 90% of the time correct in the past. He also said that the Nikon Z7 Mark III camera will carry a 61-megapixel sensor.
So at this time, we got one more confirmation that not only the Z 6 Mark 3 camera is coming, but the Nikon Z7 Mark 3 is also set to arrive. The Nikon Z73 will have a huge upgrade in the sensor resolution from a 45-megapixel FX format BSI mass sensor. The upcoming camera will carry a 61 MP Sensor as per the latest set of rumors we have.

Actual: 62.5 Megapixel Effective: 61 Megapixel (9504 x 6336)
We received more information a few days ago but decided not to publish it at that time.

Z7III, 67 million pixels, TowerJazz. Z6III, 24 million pixels, Sony.
A source claims that the Nikon Z7 Mark III Camera uses a 67 MP sensor made by TowerJazz, and as usual, the Nikon Z6 Mark III camera uses a 24 MP Sensor.
Is Nikon testing out several prototypes of higher-resolution sensors?
As we all know, before a camera goes to the final production line, camera makers test several prototypes. So, maybe both of them are correct, but we don’t know at this moment which camera was made for the final production line.
This reminds me of the post that I published back in Aug 2022, when Nikon China accidentally published an image of a 67 67-megapixel resolution Camera on their social media account. However, at that time, we thought maybe the upcoming Nikon Z8 camera may carry a higher-resolution sensor. But, as we all know, the Nikon Z8 uses a 45.7 MP Sensor. So, that means they do have a working prototype of a 67MP body, and they have been testing it for a long time.
So, now the story is taking its final shape. Nikon does have a 67 MP working prototype, and recent rumors suggest that there is one 61 MP too. Now let’s wait and watch which prototypes get approval for the final production line

The lens was released back in 1992 and as per the latest information coming out from the sources, the lens has been discontinued, the lens was in production cycle for more than 30 years, but as we all know the DSLR system has been cannibalized by the manufacturers themselves back from 2018.

After looking at the samples of Leica phone 3 I was really stunned, as you can see portrait capture with the smartphone creating exceptional depth of field just similar to the lenses that is being used over a like a camera
Specifically, take a look at the black and white image below and just see how perfectly the depth enters into the image and how accurate it is that each and every line is completely vanished and you are not able to guess from any point of time that this is a kind of a synthetic depth is generated by an artificial intelligence algorithm so it is not just an artificial intelligence algorithm alone working it is being supported by a large sensor like a optics and combined with technology and hence you are getting an exceptional output.
According to Leica these images anpve you see specially developed software engine that simulates the look of the three most famous Leica M-Lenses: the Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50, Summilux-M 1:1.4/28 and Summilux-M 1:1.4/35. Even the depth control is very realistic like the original Leica Lenes which allows you to set the range of aperture stops from f/1.2 or f/1.4 to f/8. This allows bokeh, vignetting and spotlight rendering to be controlled and render ti perfectly based on signature Leica colour scheme – without a doubut the Leica Leitz Phone 3 will hit a new dimension in smartphone photogaphy.
