According to the recent data from BCN Ranking, the sales of interchangeable lenses in Japan have seen a significant rebound in 2022, with a YoY ( year-on-year) increase in unit sales of 106.9% and a sales amount increase of 122.1% (due to Mirrorless to DSLR transition phase People are now intended to invest more in lenses then in DSLR era). DSLR lenses, on the other hand, continue to decline with a market share of 77.1% in 2022. In contrast, mirrorless lenses saw double-digit growth of 121.4% in 2022.
Sony emerged as the market leader in 2022, with a market share of 16.4%, surpassing Canon, which held the top spot for 13 consecutive years. Canon now holds second place with a market share of 15.9%. Lens manufacturers Sigma and Tamron also showed an upward trend in 2022, with Sigma taking third place with 14.5% and Tamron taking fourth place with 14.3%. Both Sigma and Tamron have seen a YoY increase in sales of 126.3% and 136.2% respectively.
Sony has almost half of the Mirrorless Market Lens share.
But as You know Sigma and Tamron were making a majority of lenses for Sony E-Mount in 2022. If we combine the market share of Tamron, Sigma, and Sony, the total market share would be 14.3% + 14.5% + 16.4% = 45.2%. And I am not including Zeiss, viltrox and samyang in the list.
Canon needs to Open its RF Mount if they want to regain market share.
Do, you think the same? let me know in the comment … if Canon opens its RF Mount then people will have more lens options to select from and many new photographers and content creators, those who are avoiding Canon cameras due to lack of proper APS-C Lenses or FF Lenses, can connect easily again with the brand if they wish to.
After the latest firmware update of the FX3 camera, users could not find the old Slog2 option in the menu. But, why this happened? The reason is very simple, the Slog 2 is limited to 8bit and Sony is no more interested in keeping the old recording 8bity format inside their camera.
Sony Slog 2 vs Slog 3
See, we have to understand this, S-LOG2 and S-LOG3 are both color spaces developed by Sony for use in their camera systems. But, S-LOG2 is the previous generation of the color profile and has some limitations,
One of the main differences is the dynamic range that each color space can capture. S-LOG3 has a dynamic range of approximately 14 stops, which is wider than S-LOG2 which has a dynamic range of approximately 12 stops. This wider dynamic range allows for greater flexibility when grading and editing footage. Additionally, S-LOG3 has improved color accuracy and less noise in the shadows, which makes it a better option for professional videographers and photographers looking for the highest image quality.
Another Major difference between the two is the bit depth. S-LOG2 is an 8-bit color space, while S-LOG3 is a 10-bit color space.
S-LOG2 also has a gamma curve of 2.4, while S-LOG3 has a gamma curve of 2.8. A higher gamma curve like 2.8 of S-LOG3 allows for more room to work with in the highlights and shadows, less chance of clipping, more tonal gradations and subtle color variations, more precise representation of the scene’s brightness, and more control over the final look of the image or footage.
Latest Genrations of Slog 3
The first Sony camera to feature S-LOG3 was the Sony Alpha 7S II. It was announced in September 2015, but you also have to note that the Sony A7S II was using the first generation of Slog3, after that, we have two major updates over the original one and those are S-LOG3C, and S-LOG3G.
So, the S-LOG3C (sometimes written as SG3C ) is an updated version of S-LOG3, it’s a color space that is used in consumer cameras, a wider color gamut than S-LOG3 and it also includes a color matrix that is optimized for consumer cameras. The S-LOG3G is the latest version of S-LOG3, it’s a color space that is used in professional cameras and it’s been optimized for 8k resolution and high-frame-rate recording.
Sony FX3 Latest Fimrware Update
Before installing the update, please note and check the following:
Precautions when updating from Ver. 2.00 and Ver. 2.01 Updating to version 2.02 will delete the LUT (Look-Up Table) settings in the camera. Re-register the LUT settings after the update is complete.
Precautions when updating from Ver. 1.01 or earlier
After updating to Ver. 2.00 or later, the camera settings will be reset to the default values. Note: Since this update adds functions and makes major specification changes, the camera settings will be initialized as part of the update process. It is recommended that you make note of all the camera settings before proceeding. Even if you have saved the settings using the various save features available (such as Save/Load Settings and Save/Load FTP Settings) the settings before Ver. 1.01 cannot be read by the camera after the upgrade to Ver. 2.00 or later.
With the addition of the log shooting mode, the picture profiles were reviewed and the gamma setting S-Log2 is no longer included. After the update, you will need to use the gamma setting S-Log3.
You will be able to connect to the Imaging Edge Mobile app more easily. After pairing the app with the camera, you can transfer images and shoot remotely just by operating the app. Refer to Pairing the camera with a smartphone (Smartphone Regist.) in the Help Guide for detail. Along with this, the NFC one-touch connection function used up to Ver. 1.01 of the camera will no longer be available. Note: You will also need to update the Imaging Edge Mobile app to Ver. 7.7 or later, and register as a new camera after the update.

Panasonic S5 Mark II vs Canon R6 Mark II – Both of these cameras features the same sensor resolution, but as usual, the Canon R6 Mark II features advanced AI AF for fast-tracking and the Jpeg burst speed of the R6 Mark II touches the 40fps mark. Although the buffer capacity of the Canon is just half of the Panasonic S5 Mark II and u can store up to a Max of 70-100 image files in a single burst with Canon.
1. Senor and AF System
We are comparing the two specifications. Panasonic S5 mark II camera features a newly developed 24MP Sensor with Phase detect AF points and support of DFD still there. The Max burst speed of the Panasonic S5 Mark II is 30fps with an electronic shutter and the expandable ISO range is 50-204800. Since it’s Panasonic’s first full-frame camera so, we are not expecting blazing-fast AF performance like Canon R6 Mark II, but at least we will get a more accurate and fast AF system compared to its predecessor the Panasonic S5.

2. Open Gate 6k 60FPS
Both of the camer able to record 6k video, but only Canon R6 Mark II with a faster image processor is able to shoot 6k 60fps and the Panasonic S5 Mark II remains limited to 6k 30fps in 4:2:2 10bit mode. The only issue with Canon is the output the 6K output is available only via the HDMI port.
3. Crippled 4k 60fps? 1.5X Crop in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 Mark II Camera is able to shoot up to 4k 60fps uncropped which isn’t possible with the Panasonic S5 mark II camera since it’s limited to 4k 1.5x crop. So, if you like to shoot 4k HQ some music videos, or anything fast u would like to shoot to 4k 60fps.
4. Cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 mark II camera doesn’t overheat while shooting 4k 24 or 30 fps, but while you are shooting 4k @ 60fps you may face some overheating issues while shooting in hot and humid conditions. At the same time, the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera features an advanced heat sink unit and cooling vents. but, at the same time, 4k 60fps is heavily crippled and the camera doesn’t do full sensor readout while shooting 4k 60fps. So, yes in a way we do have some added advantages of cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II, but they are not that useful due to cropped 4k 60fps, better to get R6 Mark II if ur interested in recording uncropped oversampled 4k.
5. DUAL NATIVE ISO
Dual native ISO isn’t a new feature in Panasonic S5 Mark II, even the Panasonic S5 was having from ISO 640 – 4000 in VLOG. I don’t know the exact reason why these camera makers (Sony and Canon) hide the Dual Native ISOs in their Pro Cameras like Canon R6 Mark II or A74, btw the sensor of both the camera uses dual Native ISO circuits, and during HIGH ISO test it’s visible to the Dual Native ISO high gain and low gain circuit working on the backend of the camera. But, in the end, the open Dual Native ISO Menu inside the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera makes it more usable for low-light situations.
6. Timecode | Waveforms | Live LUTS | Vectorscope
These are some essential ingredients for professional cinematographers out there, all these are only available in Panasonic S5 Mark II Camera and not in Canon R6 Mark II.

Panasonic S5 Mark II Body Price is $1997 | Finally, we have the price of the Panasonic S5 mark II camera. And the price of Panasonic S5 Mark IIX is $2197. The only difference between the S5 Mark II and S5X Mark II is
Panasonic S5x Mark II vs S5 Mk II – Major difference
Panasonic S5 Mark II vs Sony A7 IV – We are comparing the two specifications. Panasonic S5 mark II camera features a newly developed 24MP Sensor with Phase detect AF points and support of DFD still there. The Max burst speed of the Panasonic S5 Mark II is 30fps with an electronic shutter and the expandable ISO range is 50-204800. Since, it’s Panasonic’s first full-frame camera so, we are not expecting blazing-fast AF performance like Sony A7 IV, but at least we will get a more accurate and fast AF system compared to its predecessor the Panasonic S5.
The Video part of the Panasonic S5 is more intense? the camera features open gate 6k 29.9 fps @ 4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP and UHD videos @ 29.97p, 200Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM) and APS-CROP DCI 4k @ 50fps, 200Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM). So, u have to face an APS-C crop if you want to have a 60fps frame rate in UHD or DCI 4k which is not that impressive. Although if we combine all those features of the cinema part, which include Timecode, XLR Mic input, and an advanced built-in fan to suppress overheating. We will be updating this page soon as we get more information related to S5 Mark II
