Nikon and Sony have announced firmware updates at the beginning of June 2025. Nikon added support for power zoom lenses in the Nikon Z6 Mark II and the Nikon Z7 Mark II cameras, and also fixed the touch autofocus functionality, which sometimes becomes unresponsive. The rest of the details you can see yourself in the Nikon section, and in Sony, we have an update for the compact cameras, which includes WEP2 as a connection option
Nikon has started distributing the latest firmware for the “Z 7II” and “Z 6II,” which is said to support power zoom lenses, add languages for the Middle East, and fix some bugs.
For the Middle East-targeted Z7II, русский (RU) has been added to the Setup Menu > Language.
The following phenomena have been fixed.
– When shooting after moving the focus point using [Touch AF], shooting may not be possible or the continuous shooting speed may slow down.
– When monitor mode was set to [Finder Priority 2], the camera would unintentionally switch from the playback screen to the shooting screen.
– When monitor mode was set to [Finder Priority 2], the focus point may not be displayed when returning from half-press timer off.
– When a wireless remote controller was connected and linked release was performed, the remote camera may not take pictures.

Sony has started distributing the latest firmware for the ” VLOGCAM ZV-1F ” and ” VLOGCAM ZV-1M2 “. Both will be limited to high-security Wi-Fi connections, so it appears that the “WPA” and “WEP” functions will no longer be available.
“WPA” and “WEP” functions are no longer supported. You can no longer select “WPA” or “WEP” when connecting to Wi-Fi. Please use “WPA2” from now on, which has higher security.

According to Jan Wegener (and he is 100% correct all the time), the Canon R6 Mark III camera will arrive in Q4 of 2025. The main surprise is the Megapixel bump in resolution, as per Jan’s expectation, the camera may use a 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor, lets have a look in the details what does Jan tell us about the upcoming Canon R6 Mark III camera
Here is what Jan Wegener said about the Canon R6 Mark III in his Latest Video
Canon R6 Mark III Release Date and Megapixel Upgrade Rumors
… And interestingly, it seems like that the R6 Mark III is not imminent. There will be an announcement probably in Q4 of 2025. And what I found the most interesting is that it said that the camera would get a megapixel bump. So it wouldn’t be 24 megapixel anymore and something more than that, which I thought was very interesting because that could instantly make the R6 Mark III also an R5 Mark II killer, especially if it’s a cheaper camera with maybe somewhere in the 30 megapixel range.
Why 30 Megapixels Could Be the Sweet Spot for Canon R6 Mark III
Cuz I think for many people that 30 megapixel range still feels like the sweet spot. Would you agree?
Canon R6 Mark III Sensor Technology: Stacked vs Non-Stacked Sensor Debate
But that got me thinking if Canon really gives a megapixel bump to the R6 Mark III and to be able to differentiate it from the R5 Mark II, does Canon then maybe not give the R6 Mark III a stacked sensor and rather a fast readout non-stacked sensor that probably would have a very high image quality even at those high ISO levels.
Pros and Cons of Stacked and Non-Stacked Sensors on Canon R6 Mark III
I can definitely see that being the case and I think I wouldn’t even be totally opposed to it. The stacked sensors are nice, but they also come with some drawbacks, especially when it comes to the image quality. Now, for video, it would be nice to have no rolling shutter at all or very little rolling shutter. But if it’s true that the camera gets more megapixels, I think it not being a stacked sensor would be a lot more likely.
Would you actually be happy with an R6 Mark III that has more megapixels but a non-stacked sensor?
Canon R6 Mark III Price Expectations
I think for many people this could actually make it a super interesting camera, especially if it still comes in below that $3,000 price point because it would suddenly give us such a great all-round camera that would also be fantastic for nature photography and would have a little bit more scope for cropping.
When Will Canon R6 Mark III Be Announced? Rumored Q4 2025 Launch
An announcement in Q4 2025 would be exactly 3 years after the R6 Mark II was announced and I think that would make a lot of sense even if the camera only starts shipping maybe in 2026.

The Sony FX2 is an extended version of the Sony A7 IV, optimised for its maximum cinematography specifications. So hardware-wise, both the cameras are the same — is it true? NO, we do have some sort of advancement in the hardware part, and the advancement is the introduction of the AI chip, which was absent in the Sony A7 IV, as well as the very unique tiltable electronic viewfinder design. So let’s explore the differences between the two.

What advantages do we have in the new Sony FX2 camera over the Sony A7 IV?
It looks like a cinema camera, but it has a very deep hand grip and a very innovative tiltable electronic viewfinder.
Additionally, we have an option in FX2 to use an XLR handle for the body part, and with that grip, we can add 32-bit audio to our videos.
An option to record DCI 4K instead of UHD 4K in the new Sony FX2 camera with lots of custom LUTs as well as an option of extended dual native ISO range, resulting in 15 stops of DR performance.
30% increase in the AI autofocus performance of the new Sony FX2 camera compared to the Sony A7C Mark II or the A7 Mark IV camera.
16-bit RAW video recording is an option available via the HDMI port. Obviously, the Sony A7 Mark IV camera remains limited to 10-bit video.
Introduction of active stabilisation mode as well as frame stabiliser — both of these are not in the way they should be in the Sony A7 Mark IV due to the absence of the dedicated AI chip inside the body.
Support for anamorphic lenses and in-camera de-squeeze functionality for the recorded footage.
Built-in internal fan to manage any sort of overheating issue if required.
The Sony FX2 isn’t just another camera—it’s a Cinema Line powerhouse tailor-made for both aspiring cinematographers and seasoned content creators. Under the hood, it shares the same 33 MP sensor as the A7 IV, but in S-Log3 it unlocks up to 15 stops of dynamic range, giving you richer highlights and deeper shadows. Here are the standout video features you’ll love:
Tilting EVF: A 3.68 million-dot viewfinder that flips up 90°—perfect for shooting low or high without cramping your style.
Video-First Layout: Large, easy-to-find record button, full-size HDMI, plus intuitive shutter-angle control so you can dial in cinematic motion blur on the fly.
AI Power: Thanks to its onboard AI chip, autofocus is 30% snappier, and you get nifty tools like Auto-Framing and the Framing Stabilizer—ideal for run-and-gun solo shoots.
The one caveat? If you were hoping for full-frame 4K at 60 fps, you’ll find the FX2 capped at Super 35 crop at that frame rate—unlike its cousin, the FX3.
Sony A7 IV: The Hybrid Powerhouse
If you wear two hats—photographer by day, videographer by night—the A7 IV is your Swiss Army knife. Its 33 MP sensor churns out gorgeous JPEGs and HEIFs, and its video chops are nothing to sneeze at. Here’s why so many hybrid creators can’t put it down:
Stills & Motion: Capture high-res stills in Log, plus reliable autofocus that tracks fast-moving subjects with ease.
Flexible Design: Dual card slots and a fully articulating 1.03 million-dot touchscreen let you work confidently in any scenario.
Budget-Friendly: At $2,498, it undercuts the FX2 while still offering professional-level performance.
The trade-off? You don’t get the FX2’s video-optimized menus or dedicated cinema-grade controls like shutter-angle adjustment.

Notes:
Although three models are mentioned, FF250001 and FF250003 have already been registered. The model registered this time is “FF250002”.
While the FF250003 only supports 2.4GHz, the FF250003 and FF250002 also support 5.1GHz. Most recent models, except for small and lightweight models, support 5.1GHz Wi-Fi, so it is not possible to predict the price range of the camera based on this information alone. It is interesting to see whether it will be an X series model or a new model in the GFX series.
It is rumored that the “X-E5” will on June 11, 2025. More details here

Sony registered a new mirrorless camera on May 23, 2025, and the most important factor is that the manufacturing division of this mirrorless camera is at Wuxi city, where most of the VLOGCAM and semi-professional cameras of Sony are manufactured.
Where is the breakdown of Sony’s manufacturing factories? You can have a good idea where they manufacture the high-end Alpha cameras or the intelligent compacts.
Sony Alpha Cameras Manufacturing Unit Worldwide
Sony Japan: High-end products such as the α1, α9 III, and FX3
Sony Shanghai: Cinema line and video products such as FX9 and FX6
Sony Wuxi: Low to mid-range products such as ZV-1F, ZV-E10M2, α7 IV, and α7C

So there is a very high probability that this camera is a VLOGCAM or maybe an update to the existing A7 IV / Sony A7 V, coming next from Sony. Based on past trends, we expect the registered camera to be announced on or before September 2025, so we may see some additional information by the summer.
Canon registered two new cameras with the wireless certification agency. Based on the model codes of the two cameras, it’s distinguishable that one is from their Cinema EOS line and the other is the RF mount, consumer mirrorless camera.
Canon Upcoming Cameras Model Code 2025 [Updated]
DS126922: EOS R5 II (Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth)
DS126928: EOS R1 (Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth)
DS126941: EOS R50 V (Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 & Bluetooth)
Both are very new and support 2.4GHz and 5.1GHz Wi-Fi. Products beginning with “DS” tend to be still digital cameras, while those beginning with “ID” tend to be Cinema EOS cameras.
Some EOS or Cinema EOS cameras are planned for the future, and may be announced in the coming months. Rumor has it that they will be the Canon R6 Mark III or EOS R7 Mark II, but as we can see here, Canon is preparing for only one Consumer Mirrorless camera and the other is Cinema EOS.
Canon Camera Announcement in the 4th Week of August or Early September 2025
Canon registered both cameras in the 4th week of May 2025, roughly the camera maker takes 3 months to make it official, so expect a Canon announcement sometime in the 4th Week of August or Early September 2025.
