According to the Latest rumors from the web, we may see a Panasonic S5 R camera with a 47-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, similar to what we have already seen in the Panasonic S1R. According to sources, the key twist is that the camera will have improved autofocus. However, the information available to us is limited, so I cannot confirm at this moment if it will indeed have a hybrid 47 MP full-frame sensor, OR a DFD one like we have seen in the Panasonic S1R.
UPDATE: In the latest post source the S5R prototypes use 47 and 61 MP sensors from Sony, and the 61MP Version has been approved for production line
we do not know the exact announcement date, for that, we have to wait. Stay tuned more updates coming
The patent describes the importance of having more contact pins in an advanced fixed LENS Lens camera as well as in a Mirrorless Mount, So we may expect a RETRO APS-C Compact camera from Canon to compete against the Fuji X-100 VI as well as they may also consider the upscaling contact point in RF-Mount in near future.
having more electronic contacts in the camera mount or lens mount is crucial for reliable communication and control between the camera body and the lens.
The patent talks about both interchangeable lens systems and fixed lens systems, electronic contacts are key to transmitting data, power, and control signals. These include commands for autofocus, image stabilization, aperture control, and other functions.
The more sophisticated the lens becomes in the near future (e.g., with advanced image stabilization, autofocus motors, etc.), the more electronic connections are needed to handle the increased data and power requirements.
The patent describes (Image below) the interchangeable lens systems, the camera mount (600) and lens mount (500) need precise and reliable electronic contacts to ensure consistent communication. In fixed lens systems, similar electronic connections exist internally without the need for detachable mounts.
So, increasing the number of electronic contacts in the mount (for interchangeable lenses) or within the fixed lens system can improve performance and reliability.
From the Desk of TNC Editor –
The patent text clearly shows Canon is working to enhance the communication between the lens and the body of a Fixed lens camera unit, right now the are putting entire focus on developing a high-end compact camera, later on, they can also use the same enhanced communication tech to their RF-Mount in near future if Lenses become more and more sophisticated and demands more power and data.
Overview of the Camera System:
The optical device 500 is shown as part of a camera system 1000, which includes a camera body 600 and an interchangeable lens. In a fixed-lens camera, the optical device 500 is integrated.
Key Components of the Optical Device:
The optical device 500 consists of a lens optical system 100, a main circuit board 2, a sub-circuit board 3, and a lens barrel 400.
The lens optical system 100 includes multiple lenses aligned along an optical axis (OA).
The circuit module 1, which houses the main and sub-circuit boards, is fixed within the lens barrel 400.
What does the Patent Says
The text primarily discusses the optical device (500) in a camera system (1000), which can be either an interchangeable lens or a fixed lens. It mentions that while the example shows an interchangeable lens, the system is equally applicable to a fixed lens camera setup.
In a fixed lens camera, the optical device 500 is integrated and not removable from the camera body. The connection mechanisms (510 and 610) used for attaching lenses in interchangeable systems can be omitted in fixed lens setups.
Summary of the Patent
The more sophisticated the lens becomes it demands more and more data and power (e.g., with advanced image stabilization, autofocus motors, etc. ), the more electronic connections are needed to handle the increased data and power requirements.
So, increasing the number of electronic contacts in the mount (for interchangeable lenses) or within the fixed lens system can improve performance and reliability.
Is Sony testing a new camera? According to the latest rumors, a Photographer who works with Sony is on TRIP to TAIWAN to test Sony’s new camera in a few weeks. The Photographer also confirmed that the camera will not be released with the 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens. The Rumor mill speculates, From the timing, this photographer may be testing the FX series E-mount video camera, which is interesting.
Translated version
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.
List of APS-C Camera published by rumor mill that we may see in the year 2025, now in 2024, we have seen some amazing full-frame camera announcements, but yeah, we are still waiting for the updates on major APS-C models that include the Canon R7 as well as the Canon R10. So let’s discuss the set of possible updates that we may see next year.
So the list starts with the Canon R7 Mark II camera. We already have the Canon R7 camera with a 32.5 MP sensor, but the rumor mill expects a 32.5 MP stacked CMOS sensor inside the upcoming Canon R7 Mk II. BTW, if ur a reader of our website you have noticed that we have already discussed the spec sheet of the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera, Let’s see again the particular specs that we expect to be inside the upcoming R7 Mark II camera below. If you wish to know more, click here.
The next camera that the rumor mill discusses is the Canon R10 Mark II camera. Although we were expecting the arrival of the Canon R10 Mark II camera in Aug -Sep 2024. Even rumor mills expect that the same 32.5 MP sensor that we have seen in the Canon R7 body will arrive inside the R10 Mark II body. Again, this is not something new, we have already published the set of specs that we expect from the Canon R10 mark II camera
Canon R10 Mark II Rumored Specification
32.5MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
4K60 10-Bit Video, HDR-PQ (NO lOG)
15 fps Mech. Shutter
2.36m-Dot OLED EVF
1.6m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
Single SD Card Slot
Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
The main reason why it should have a 32.5 MP sensor (non-stacked version) is the arrival of a 26 MP sensor inside, Sony’s ZV-E10 Mark II camera arrived with 26 MP BSI CMOS Sensor, as well as the arrival of a 40 MP sensor inside Fuji X-T50 Camera. You can see all the existing competitors scaling up their resolution, so if Canon fails to do so, they will surely face a big hit in their sales, which they are already experiencing, so again if they fail to do so, they will have to face the expected consequences.
Now, this is something unique, as we have not yet discussed the Canon R50 Mark II camera. Rumors suggest that we may see the Canon R50 Mark II camera next year (Aug- Sep 2024). Although they are not very specific about the specs of the R50 Mark II camera. Now, what we are expecting right now is a smooth transition of Canon R10 specs inside the Canon R50 Mark II next year, and similarly, the R7 specs will have a smooth transition inside the R7 Mark II. That’s how the industry works, and that’s what we should see next year.
Canon R50 Mark II Expected Core Specification
24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
4K30 Video, 4K60 with Crop; HDR-PQ
1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The next rumor we are getting is about the Canon R200 camera. Again, Canon can’t announce the R200, instead, they will pick the R100 Mark II name, a. But even before that, we are expecting the arrival of the Canon V100 camera, which is a bit more vlogging-centric and without an electronic viewfinder. So that’s what we are expecting right now from Canon. It will be very interesting to see what Canon unfolds in front of us in the upcoming months, as we are eagerly waiting with high curiosity to see what’s coming next.

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.

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.
