Sony Russia manager said in an interview that the Sony A7S III does carry some serious improvements, but the current technologies are not ready for this camera, by saying this they are explaining the reason behind the delay of Sony A7S III camera. BTW, good news Sony managers confirmed the development of Sony A6500 camera successor. Let’s have a look at the details of interview
Sony A7sIII:
In order for this camera to become as popular and breakthrough as the A7S and A7SII, serious fundamental improvements must be added to it.My personal opinion is that not all technologies are ready for this.What can be improved in comparison with A7SII?
Sony A6xxx or A7xxx::
there will be a further development of the A6500 line.
This is not the first time we have received hints from a Sony manager. Earlier Sony managers also hinted that they are working hard on Sony A7S III camera to go beyond customer expectations.
” (A7S II users)They want 4K/60p, 4:2:2 10-bit, and of course more battery power, increased AF accuracy – many things!”
According to the latest set of rumor we have Canon is working on a 32.5MP sensor. The new sensor will be used in Pro Series APS-C Mirrorless and DSLR camera. We already know that Canon CMOS sensors DR (Dynamic range) range isn’t that good as of others. So, its better if they adopt BSI tech with high resolution sensor.
We will update you soon as we get any new information.
According to latest rumors coming from rumor mills. Canon may postponed the update of Canon 7D Mark II camera. Rumor mills sources suggest that a Canon EOS R body is coming to replace the Canon 7D lineup in DSLRs. But it’s fullframe of APS-C they don’t know at the moment.
….Rumors end here….
If Canon want end up 7D series, they have to give us the same versatility they have offered us 19 years back with EF and EF-S Mount. Canon should announce RF-Mount based High-End APS-C Mirrorless camera before terminating 7D Series.
Ending up Flagship APS-C DSLR lineup Canon 7D series gracefully?
Apart from all these rumors, we have to understand and accept that Canon EF-M series isn’t enough mature to attract professional shooters. The good way to end High-End DSLR APS-C line-up is to announce a RF Mount APS-C Mirrorless camera with EF-S / EF adapter, that offers full compatibility with existing EF and EF-S Lenses. Along with a three year lens Roadmap for RF Mount APS-C lenses.
2018 – cannibalization of DSLRs in favor of Mirrorless
In 2018 Canon representatives told us that they will going to cannibalize the DSLRs in favor of mirrorless camera. They have done so, we haven’t seen any pro APS-C or FF DSLR camera announcement from 2018.
2019 – Isolated EF-M Mount vs RF-Mount APS-C Mirrorless
We have seen interviews were Canon representatives hinted us about the possibility of a RF-Mount based Mirrorless camera. If Canon want to give the same versatility to their users as they offered us 19 years back with EF and EF-S Mount. They have to announce a RF-Mount based APS-C Mirrorless camera. Sony already done that with E and FE Mount cameras, rumors also suggest Nikon DX format APS-C Mirrorless camera will carry Z Mount.
New users are more attracted towards Fuji X-T3 camera with Sony Sensor. Due to lack of Flagship camera in Canon from past 2 year, New professionals and prosumers are not interested in Canon DSLR line-up anymore.
We all know Canon APS-C sensor have a crop factor of 1.6X and M4/3 format sensor have crop factor of 2X when compared to Fullframe sensor.
But when we are recording 4K videos with Canon 200D II we are getting 1.6X additional crop and a total of 2.56X crop (When compared with 35mm / Fullframe sensor) and when we are using M4/3 format based of Panasonic G95 camera we are getting 1.25X additional crop and a total of 2.5X crop (when compared with a 35mm / Fullframe sensor).
Canon 200D II vs Panasonic G95 – Sensor Area Utilized While Creating 4K videos
Canon 200D II with 2.56X Crop and Panasonic G95 with 2.5X Crop
So, literally same sensor area is being utilized while creating 4K video with Panasonic G95 or Canon 200D II | 250D | SL3.

With Canon 200D II camera we will be getting DPAF in Full HD video mode and Contrast based AF system gets activated when we switch to 4K video mode. In Panasonic We don’t have any option of Hybrid AF in Panasonic G95 / G90 camera. Either in Full HD or 4K we will be getting Contrast based AF system.

Panasonic do also offer V-log support and a headphone jack in the camera but limited to 8bit. With Canon 200D II you can get 4:2:2 10-Bit files via HDMI.
Canon 200D II for sure, since we are getting blazing fast AF in Full HD video mode, the AF performance of Canon 200D II will remain better compared to Panasonic G95 due to its enhanced DPAF system. Panasonic 4K mode also suffers from excessive crop and limited AF performance as we canon 200D II / SL3 camera.
Finally we have the initial details of the upcoming Canon Mirrorless and Compacts camera coming directly from wireless certification agency. It’s look like no DSLR announcement is scheduled for next few months. Take a look at the details we have from trusted Japanese sources

Both camera carry excellent core specification, the Canon 200D II camera is more affordable compared to Sony A6400. And not only camera Canon EF and EF-S mount have lot of native and third party lens option which makes the entire system more affordable and versatile compared to Sony.
Canon 200D II vs Sony A6400 sensor comparison, both camera carry same sensor size and resolution. But the AF tech is entirely different, Canon 200D II camera is using improved DPAF system with 3975 AF points which is further divided into 143 AF zones. Whereas the Sony A6400 camera limited to 455 AF points and uses Hybrid AF sensor.

Canon 200D II vs Sony A6400
Both camera sensors are using same CMOS tech, None of them are using BSI CMOS. But, despite of that Sony A6400 offers you more ISO range compared to Canon.
Not only that, Sony CMOS sensor do show up better ISO range, dynamic range and we do believe that Sony A6400 will give you better still images compared to Canon 200D II at higher ISO.
More White balance presets in Sony A6400 will allow you to quickly set-up white balance depending on the scene type in still or video.
Continuous shooting speed of Sony is more fast compared to Canon. With Canon you will remain limited to 5FPS per second with Sony you will be getting 11FPS speed.

Both camera can record 4K videos at 30p. But, Canon is limited to CDAF when you recording 4K videos whereas with Sony you will be getting 455 Hybrid AF support all the time.
Canon 200D II of course focuses much faster than Sony A6400 at Full HD Video mode, but just opposite to that when we switch to 4K mode the
No recording limit in Video recording when you are using the Sony A6400 camera. With Canon 200D II you have 29min 59 sec recording limit.
Digital IS – Canon 200D II camera does have Digital IS inside it and it do help sometime when you are walking and vlogging. BTW, Sony A6400 doesn’t have any kind of built-in IS. So you have to relay in IS Lenses.

With 3975 AF points the Canon 200D II features more Dense AF system compared to Sony. Sony A6400 limited to 455 AF points only.
To simplify AF points and make it user selectable Canon divided AF points into 143 AF zones. So, comparatively Canon 200D II will perform better compared to Sony with more dense AF point network.

Canon 200D II features optical viewfinder and Sony A6400 electronic, selection of type viewfinder depends personal test. BTW, one slight advantage we have with Sony is we will be getting 455 AF points AF support that they do wish to offers us in Live view, video as well as viewfinder mode. Btw with Canon will offer you only 9 point AF when you will be using optical viewfinder (as you know that phase AF module of DSLR camera gets activated when you use the optical viewfinder).
So at the end, in these two model if I have to work on viewfinder mode I will choose Sony A6400 instead of Canon 200D II.

If your requirements limited to Full HD videos and you need a Hybrid solution, Canon 200D II is the best camera for you. Since, you are not getting only Class leading AF system. But, also support of EF and EF-S Lenses.
If you are a still shooter or want to create high quality 4K unlimited videos with your camera, go with Sony A6400.
