A new Sony camera with the code name “WW751104” has been registered and may be released in September or October; In addition, we may see a new FX series E-mount camera first, followed by the rumored 24-70mm f/2.0 GM lens, and then another E-mount mirrorless camera. We look forward to more, and you can look forward to our follow-up reports.
Regarding the new camera, there are rumors that a photographer who works with Sony revealed that he will be going to Taiwan to test Sony’s new camera in a few weeks. However, this new camera will not be released with the 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens. From the timing, this photographer may be testing the FX series E-mount video camera expected to be released in September. Are you looking forward to it?
If analyze the above information, then it is very clear that the source is talking about two different cameras, one is a Sony camera with the code name “WW751104”, A E-Mount Mirrorless camera that is also expected to arrive alongside the 24 to 70mm F2.0 Lens in the next few months and the next is full frame sensor based professional cinematography camera, like the FX3.

Conclusion:
So we have the PXW-Z200 from Sony as well as the HXR-NX800 camcorder. The major difference between the two is that the Sony PXW-Z200 offers a 12G-SDI output option as well as timecode functionality, which is not present in the HXR-NX800.
With the help of the 12G-SDI output, which is highly suitable for professional workflows, especially when you are involved in live broadcasting, this feature becomes very useful.
As mentioned earlier, you also have a streaming advantage with the Z200 camcorder. With the timecode functionality, you can use this camera in multi-camera setups, like in newsrooms.
So, technically, almost 95% of the core specifications are the same between the two, but these are the differences.
So this is not new. On May 27, 2024 [check previous post], we received strong hints that DJI and their team are working on an interchangeable lens setup, we thought at the time it could be a BIG brother of DJI POCKET CREATOR Kit, and Most Probably the creator kit with DJI L Mount lenses support will be called PRO KIT.The camera will feature an L-mount and will have a new set of lenses coming with it. Initially, we thought it would be a type of DJI professional creator kit, but the latest information suggests it’s slightly different.
But, now these rumors surfaced again on the web and again the rumor mill has no clue what is coming next, if DJI announced a completely new interchangeable Lens mirrorless system cameras, for sure it will create a big threat to Canikon and Sony.
The Nikon 28-135mm power zoom lens is coming, and this has now been confirmed. Take a look at the official press release from Nikon below
Nikon is developing the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ, a standard zoom lens for the Nikon Z mount system
USA, October 30, 2024 – Nikon Corporation (Nikon) is pleased to announce the ongoing development of the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ, a standard zoom lens that is compatible with full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted.
The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is a standard zoom lens with power zoom that covers the focal-length range from 28 to 135 mm. It is designed to provide ease of use and superior optical performance for video recording, supporting efficient recording for documentaries and location work by a solo videographer or small crew.
Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users’ needs, contributing to the development of imaging culture, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.
An interesting patent application from Nikon was published on August 16, 2024. It appears to be for a compact wide-angle lens with a unique cross-sectional lens design. In the patent below, is of two lenses one is 24mm F2.8 and the other one is a 26mm F2.8 Lens designed for the Nikon Z Mount. As we all know in the Nikon Z mount linup we do have the 26mm F2.8 Lens as well as the also have 28mm F2.8 Lens, so the lens is about to arrive, is Nikon 24mm F2.8mm.

A surprising video surfaced on the web., that shows Sony customer care representatives charged approx $700 for reversing a faulty firmware update on the FX3 camera
The video comes from the Camera Nerds Media YouTube channel. According to him, the camera was running on firmware update 2.0, was functioning perfectly without any issues. However, Nerds Media (he) decided to update the camera to firmware 5.0, and problems started just after that update. The camera began automatically stopping during recordings and behaving erratically, eventually becoming unusable.
He then contacted Sony’s US support center and given his camera to reverse the update and fix it asap. Shockingly, they charged him approximately $700 to fix the issue.
TNC takes: OMG, that’s a big amount if they have charged for just reversing a firmware.
This is quite a strange situation, and camera makers should learn from this incident. If any firmware update causes problems, there should always be an option to revert to the previous firmware version.
Here is the Full Video, let me know what do you think about this
Let’s discuss the best entry-level camera for photographers. In this particular article, we will compare all the entry-level camera sensors at high ISO range to each other to find out the best of all.
The list of cameras that we have included in this test starts with Sony’s most popular 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. The Sony 24-megapixel APS-C BSI CMOS sensor is being used in the following models:S
Sony A6100
Sony ZV-E10 Mark II
Sony A6400
We have selected Nikon’s famous 20-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, being used in these Nikon cameras:
Nikon Z30
Nikon Z50
Nikon Zfc
And finally, Canon’s 24-megapixel APS-C DPAF CMOS sensor, the latest generation of the sensor, is being used in:
Canon R50
Canon R10
The Canon R100 camera sensor as well as the processor used in R100 is not coming straight from Canon’s latest generation of sensors, so we are putting this camera on the sap-rate list
From the editor’s desk:
In this comparison, we will be evaluating the image sensors of all these cameras together to find out which one performs best in low-light and uncontrolled lighting environments.
Are you planning to buy a new camera for photography? Whether you’re interested in kids’ photography, shooting portraits of your family and friends, capturing landscapes, architecture, or even wildlife photography, in any of these scenarios, you will be exposed to uncontrolled lighting environments.
What does an uncontrolled lighting environment mean? It means dealing with natural light, which is not always perfect as per your requirements.
So, what does a photographer do to adjust for natural light? They generally raise the ISO level to balance the exposure.
The truth is, If your camera sensor cannot perform well at high ISO levels, then it’s likely not the right choice for you. In this comparison, we will be reviewing all these models so you can easily find the best camera for your needs.
1. Canon R100 vs Canon R10/R50
We are comparing Canon are 100 camera versus The Canon R10 / r50 by picking up the ISO 12800 now let’s see the image below and discuss the result
As seen in the test results, you can clearly notice that the image sample captured at ISO 12800 with the Canon R100 camera does not preserve details as well as the Canon R10.
What could be the reason behind this? It could be due to the older generation of the sensor or perhaps the older generation of the image processor used in the Canon R100. It could be either of these two factors, but the end result is clear: the Canon R50 camera’s sensor performs much better compared to the Canon R100.
Verdict: Winner Canon R10/Canon R50 Camera
2. Canon R10/R50 vs Sony ZV-E10/A6400
Now it’s time for the most interesting comparison. We are comparing the Canon R10 and R50’s 24-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus sensor with Sony’s 24-megapixel Hybrid CMOS autofocus sensor, which is used in the Sony ZV-E10, Sony A6400, and Sony A6100 cameras. This comparison will be very interesting to see which one performs better under various conditions.
From the image samples, it is very clear that Sony’s 24-megapixel Hybrid CMOS autofocus sensor is able to capture slightly more detail—or rather, it’s better to say it’s able to preserve slightly more detail—compared to the Canon R10 and Canon R50’s 24-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus sensors.
We’re not talking about a major difference, but there is a noticeable one. You can observe it in the corners and edges of the color blocks, where the sharpness and details are better preserved by Sony’s sensor at high ISO ranges compared to the Canon R10.
Verdict: Winner Sony ZV-E10 | Sony A6400 Camera
3.Sony ZV-E10/A6400 vs Nikon Z30/ Z50
Now it’s final test time, and we are comparing the Sony ZV-E10 or the Sony A6400 camera Hybrid CMOS autofocus sensor with the Nikon Z30 or Z50. We do have a slight resolution difference between them, and we will be comparing both at the same. Let’s find out the difference we have.
We have selected two different image samples at two different ISO levels. The first one is at ISO 25600, and the other set of samples is at ISO 51200. In both images, it is clearly visible that the Nikon Z30, Zfc, or Z50 20-megapixel Hybrid CMOS autofocus sensor wins by a margin. It preserves a bit more detail; the corners and the borders are a bit clearer and better preserved compared to the image samples we have on the right side from the Sony A6100 or the Sony ZV-E10.
From the test, it’s very clear that the 20-megapixel Hybrid CMOS autofocus sensor of the Nikon Z30 is able to preserve a bit more detail.
Final Result and the Winner
If you are going to combine all the tests and conclude a result, then the clear winner in the entry-level zone is the Nikon Z30, Z50, or Zfc with the 20-megapixel Hybrid CMOS autofocus sensor. If you want to shoot amazing images in uncontrolled light or low-light environments, then without a doubt, even in 2024, this sensor is best for you.
PS: Keep in mind that several other factors are also involved, like the autofocus system, continuous burst speed, and types of autofocus modes, but we are discussing the most important part here: the image quality, which matters the most to a photographer.
