What’s next from Nikon specifically in F1.2 lenses? Matt Irwin Photography, we have some gaps in the wide range and the tele range, although we do have lenses like:
We already have lenses like Nikon 50mm, 85mm, and the recently announced 35mm F1.2 lens. [check Nikon F1.2 Lenses at B&H Store and Adorama]
So the next upcoming lenses should be 24mm F1.2, maybe 28mm F1.2 (28mm is less likely to happen), and finally the 105mm F1.2 S. Yes, we do have the micro edition of 105mm F2.8, but not the portrait one with an F1.2 aperture.
Once the lineup is complete, Nikon will have an elite series of F1.2 lenses for the desired bokeh. Not limited to that, we will see some additions to the Noct lenses shortly.

According to the latest coming from rumor mill, the Sony A75 camera has been delayed. Earlier, it was expected sometime in April 2025, but the recent information coming from trusted sources of the rumor mill suggests the camera will arrive sometime in late 2025.
The exact reason is not known yet, take a look at what the sources of the rumor mill said about the dealy
Source 1
The Sony A7V is ready but Sony is waiting for Canon R6III to make the first pricing move in this segment, and are willing to postpone the A7V launch if they have to.
Source 2
The Sony A7v will be delayed, unfortunately a lot.
It could be so bad that it won’t come until the end of the year, late autumn at the earliest. This is information I have received from the depths of Sony.
Source 3 (trusted source):
Sony is still having problems producing enough Sony A1II cameras. This is also a reason why they are waiting with the launch of the new A7V. The production of the A1II should reach the targets by the end of March/April.
Sony A7S IV announcement this year
Now finally, one more important piece of information related to the upcoming camera—Sony will be announcing the A7S IV camera this year, and that’s the hint that we have received from the rumor mill. It’s not the A7R6 or the A75, which has been delayed, of course. We already have updates on the Sony A93 camera recently, which is not too old with a newer Global sensor and advanced processing power.
The only leftover series that actually needs an URGENT update in the consumer-level mirrorless lineup of cameras is the Sony A7S series, which has been continuously ignored and is still waiting for an update. So, we are expecting the arrival of the A7S4 this year. We will keep you updated as soon as we get any new information related to the upcoming camera.

According to the latest rumors coming from the rumor mill, Canon is rumored to announce the Canon V3 camera, very similar to the Canon G3 X high-quality super zoom compact camera. It will carry forward the same sensor that we have seen in the Canon V1 camera—the 1.4-inch 22.4 MP sensor and an optical zoom lens.
The upcoming Canon V3 camera is also said to feature a built-in electronic viewfinder and a more photography-oriented design. This time, the camera will be more photography-core specs instead of videography. That means this time we will not see vents opening on the sides of the camera; rather, it will have a robust build with a deep hand grip and an EVF.
The expected arrival time of the camera is sometime in Q4 of 2025. Let’s hope for the best! We will update you as soon as we get any additional information related to the Canon V3 camera.

Due to the growing pressure of Panasonic’s recent camera announcement, models like S5, S5IIX, and S1R II intensifying the market competition with built-in professional video graphics features like an anamorphic de-squeeze setter, angle waveform, and a lot of features that professionals in videography would love to have in their cameras. But again, they also have some limitations, like the first generation of hybrid autofocus system, which is not as good as the other brands. But, the recent set of feature upgrades announced by Nikon for the Nikon Z6 III and Z8, give us a clear hint that Nikon is consdering Lumix as their main competitor, and upscaling their camera features o match or surpass Panasonic’s advanced videography capabilities, catering to both professional filmmakers and hybrid shooters.
Nikon’s Interest in Cinematography
We all know that Nikon is now more interested in cinematography since it acquired the RED camera division. It is a bit more serious about filmmaking and enhancing videography for cinematographic features in its consumer professional mirrorless cameras.
Nikon’s Recent Firmware Update
In addition to that, in a recent firmware update, Nikon has updated the N-Log of the Z6III, reducing noise in the dark areas of N-Log videos. They have mentioned this in the recent update, so it’s a kind of major update that UPSCALES the N-Log video recording of the Z6III camera.
Shutter Angle and New Features in Nikon Z6III & Z8
Apart from this major update, 15 steps of shutter angle from 5.6 degrees to 360 degrees have been added in the Z6III and Nikon Z8 cameras.
Apart from these two major updates, a lot of various custom control settings have been added, like selecting the color of the zebra pattern that includes black, grey, red, green, blue, etc. A waveform monitor—which was not available in the previous generation of their cameras—has also been added.
At the same time, high-resolution lossless zoom has also been added. If you are creating your videos and experimenting with your FX camera, then the digital high-resolution lossless zoom feature is available to you.

Panasonic S1R Mark II – Best for Landscape & Fine Art Photography
Let’s directly jump to the recommendations. Panasonic S1R Mark II camera is recommended for landscape and fine art shooters, and its specifications in indoor architecture suit well. The big reason is the higher resolution sensor and the ability to record higher resolution handheld modes, allowing you to generate 150+ megapixel images in a single handheld shot.
Buy and help us to visit the barista again Nikon Z8 B&H Store
Professional Cinematography & Open-Gate Recording
Now, the big thing is that if you are a professional cinematographer or videographer, then the Panasonic S1R Mark II camera may fit your needs more perfectly since, for professionals, we do have an option to record videos in open-gate format. Right now, with the basic settings, you are getting open-gate at 5.8K, but soon after a series of firmware updates, open-gate recording will become available up to 8K 30fps.
Why Panasonic S1R Mark II for Professional Cinematographers?
So why are we recommending the Panasonic S1R Mark II camera for professional cinematographers? Since we are getting wavefront functionality, we are also getting anamorphic lens recording support, so you can de-squeeze your footages in-camera, as well as options like false color, which helps you judge the level of accuracy in color tones while shooting.
Another important feature is the shutter angle, and the list doesn’t end here. You also get an option to directly record your videos on an SSD drive, so there’s no big issue regarding memory cards—you can simply replace your SSD when it’s full.
Panasonic S1R Mark II – Autofocus System & Its Limitations
The hybrid autofocus system is still in its development stage. The autofocus is reliable but requires expertise to handle the Panasonic AF system correctly. Otherwise, even people operating cameras for more than three years may struggle with it. The reason is very simple: it’s not a turn-and-go AF system.
So, when we talk about the best hybrid autofocus system between these two cameras, without a doubt, the Nikon Z8 is the best. We are not saying that the S1R Mark II is not usable—it is usable—but the precision, fastness, and readout speed due to the presence of stacked sensors, refresh rate, and subject detection, most of which are directly inherited from the Nikon Z9, make the Nikon Z8 a perfect camera for sports and wildlife photography.
Also, keep in mind that the autofocus tracking of the Panasonic S1R Mark II camera remains limited to 10 frames per second. So that’s the limit you get with the S1R Mark II, whereas there is no such limit in the Nikon Z8. The eye-tracking remains active even at 120 frames per second, and it works exceptionally well while using 30fps and 40fps modes of the Z8 at full resolution. The eye-tracking AF and exposure remain fully active.
Another thing to consider: The lens ecosystem
Now, you have to understand the lens ecosystem. The Z mount has been opened up, and we have a range of lens options available inside the Nikon system. That doesn’t mean the L-mount is lacking—L-mount also has a huge range of lenses—but Tamron is still not a part of the L-mount system. If you are a wedding photographer looking for a budget high-quality constant aperture lens, Nikon has options like the Tamron 28-75mm G2 lens for the Z8. At this price point, no equivalent L-mount lenses are available for the S1R Mark II. You have to pay extra to get an f/2.8 constant aperture zoom lens in the L-mount system.
So, should a wedding photographer buy the Panasonic S1R Mark II or the Nikon Z8?
If you are inclined toward the Panasonic S1R Mark II camera, you can buy it—it’s a good-to-go camera. But if we compare all the features offered by both cameras, the Nikon Z8 looks a bit more suitable with its faster stacked CMOS sensor, highly responsive hybrid autofocus system, and the huge range of Z-mount lenses available, especially budget-friendly high-quality lenses like the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2. All these factors make the Nikon Z8 a more feasible and recommendable camera for wedding photographers.
Autofocus Tracking & Frame Rate Comparison
- Panasonic S1R Mark II is limited to 10fps AF tracking.
- Nikon Z8 has no such limit—eye-tracking remains active even at 120fps.
- Works exceptionally well at 30fps and 40fps while maintaining full eye-tracking AF and exposure.
Lens Ecosystem – Nikon Z8 vs. Panasonic S1R Mark II
Now, you have to understand the lens ecosystem:
- Z mount is open—a wide range of lens options available inside Nikon’s system.
- L-mount also has a huge range of lenses, but Tamron is still not part of the L-mount system.
- Wedding photographers looking for budget high-quality f/2.8 lenses have Tamron 28-75mm G2 for the Nikon Z8.
- No equivalent budget-friendly f/2.8 zoom lens for L-mount—you have to pay extra for a constant aperture zoom lens.
A little more about the Nikon Z8 camera
The Nikon Z8 features a stacked CMOS sensor directly inherited from the Nikon Z9. Even the autofocus algorithm and image processor are exactly the same, making it essentially a flagship camera inside a compact Z8 body.
If you are interested in wildlife and sports photography and want rolling shutter-free images, the Nikon Z8 stands out despite the fact that many photographers still use conventional sensors. If you plan to shoot at higher frame rates with the Panasonic S1R Mark II at 30 or 40 frames per second, it’s a well-known fact that Panasonic struggles to track subjects continuously at high frame rates.
At the same time, the Nikon Z8’s sensor image stabilization system works at the pixel level with the help of AI advancements. If you consider all these factors, then the Nikon Z8 is without a doubt recommended for photographers looking for a perfect hybrid camera—especially those interested in wildlife and sports photography.
Final Verdict: Panasonic S1R Mark II vs. Nikon Z8
Who Should Buy the Panasonic S1R Mark II?
 Best for Landscape & Fine Art Photography – The high-resolution sensor and 150+ megapixel handheld mode make it ideal for professionals focused on fine details and large-format prints.
Great for Cinematographers & Videographers – Open-gate recording (5.8K, up to 8K with updates), anamorphic lens support, false color monitoring, and SSD recording support make it a solid choice for high-end video production.
 Not the Best for Fast-Paced Shooting – The autofocus system is still in development, requiring expertise to operate correctly, and AF tracking is limited to 10 fps, making it less suitable for sports and wildlife photography.
Limited Lens Ecosystem & Expensive Lenses – While L-mount has a good selection of lenses, Tamron, Viltrox, and many new third-party lens makers are not part of the system or have very few lenses for L Mount, making affordable fast lenses harder to find.
Who Should Buy the Nikon Z8?
Best for Sports & Wildlife Photography – Stacked CMOS sensor (inherited from the Z9) enables fast readout, high-speed shooting, and advanced subject tracking. AF tracking remains active up to 120 fps, making it superior for action shots.
Stronger Hybrid Autofocus System – Fast, precise, and reliable autofocus, with advanced AI-driven subject detection and Z9-level AF algorithms, makes it easier to use and more responsive.
Expansive & Budget-Friendly Lens Ecosystem – The Z-mount system has a wide range of native lenses, including affordable high-quality options like the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2.
Great for Hybrid Shooters (Photo & Video) – While it lacks open-gate recording, the stacked sensor, superior autofocus, and high-speed burst shooting make it a more versatile camera for both photo and video work.
Final Recommendation
- If you are a landscape, fine art, or professional cinematographer, the Panasonic S1R Mark II is a strong contender due to its high-resolution capabilities and pro-video features.
- If you shoot sports, wildlife, weddings, or need the best hybrid performance, the Nikon Z8 is the clear winner, thanks to its superior autofocus, faster shooting speeds, and larger lens ecosystem.
For most photographers and hybrid shooters, the Nikon Z8 offers a more balanced and versatile package. However, if high-resolution stills or advanced video tools like open-gate recording are your priority, the Panasonic S1R Mark II is the better choice.
