UPDATE: Nikon Z6 Mark III Announcement on June 17 at 8 a.m. ET
As we get closer to the Nikon Z6 Mark III camera announcement, we are getting more related updates. The Camera was expected to arrive on June 11, 2024, But, Now we have a new date from the rumor mill and the camera may arrive on June 18, 2024. The good thing is the announcement will happen within a week, So I am super excited about this.
According to the Nikon Rumor mill the Nikon Z6 mark III camera is expected to arrive
- on or around June 11 (±1 day)
- on or around June 18 (±1 day)
There could be several reasons for the discrepancy:
- We may see a teaser for the new camera on June 11 and the official announcement on June 18 (the most likely scenario).
- June 11 could be the internal presentation, and June 18 the official announcement.
- June 11 could be the official announcement, and June 18 the actual shipping date.
- June 11 could be the development announcement (less likely).
- June 11 could be the announcement date, and pre-orders will open on June 18 (less likely).
- I am sure there are a few other scenarios I did not mention here, but you get the picture
UPDATE: From Nikon China
Dealers are invited for product testing on June 18 and are also open for registration for others. This usually happens after the official announcement of the camera. So, you can expect Z6 III will arrive before June 18, 2024.

As you can see in the table below, the Z6 Mark III camera features a newly developed 24.5 BSI FX-format full-frame Partially Stacked CMOS sensor with an upscaled design that enhances low-light performance and improved dynamic range compared to the sensor we have in the Nikon Zf/ Z6 II. The readout speed of the sensor also improved and
Dual Expeed 7 image processor: Inside the Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera, with the help of the new dual Expeed 7 image processor able to extract 6K video resolution up to 60 frames per second in 12-bit N-RAW format. Additionally, you can also shoot continuously up to 120 frames per second in DX crop mode, all due to the fabrication of the dual Expeed 7 image processor inside the Z6 Mark 3 camera body.
Sensor Readout Speed – Nikon Z6 III vs Nikon ZF
Recently announced Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera with its Partially stacked CMOS sensor is approximately 2.34x faster than the Nikon ZF 24 megapixel FX format sensor. So we are not commenting on the image quality here; of course, we will compare the image quality when the samples of the camera come out. But at the very same time, based on the readout speed of both cameras, the overall calculation that we are getting is that the Z6 Mark 3 camera is at least 2.34x faster than the ZF sensor, resulting in less rolling shutter effect in motion pictures and images.
The readout speed of the Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera while capturing 4K 60p video in 10-bit mode is approximately 9.4 milliseconds, whereas the readout speed of Nikon ZF camera while capturing 4K videos at 4k 30p Video in 10 bit is approximately 22 milliseconds, which is approximately 2.34x more than the Z6 Mark 3 camera. As shown in the calculation above. As we know, Nikon cameras are not able to capture 6kps Raw videos, so the readout speed is not available for that specific set of data.
5.76 million-dot electronic viewfinder: This helps photographers capture perfect decisive moments with a single click. It provides the vision and accuracy needed by professional photographers. No one else in the competition uses such a high-resolution electronic viewfinder in their cameras.
Continuous Shooting Speed
14 FPS mechanical shutter and 20 FPS electronic shutter in full resolution: When shooting in NRAW, the maximum continuous shooting speed is 14 frames per second with the mechanical shutter and up to 20 frames per second with the electronic shutter. The maximum shooting speed can be obtained is 120 frames per second with the electronic shutter in DX mode.
The camera will feature the same artificial intelligence image stabilization algorithms as seen in the Nikon ZF camera, The IBIS center moves along with the AF point of the camera, so you get a true 8 Stops of IBIS from your camera. So, Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera exhibits a class-leading image stabilization system that no competitor offers at this present time.
The autofocus is said to be much improved compared to the existing Nikon Z8 autofocus tracking algorithms. The autofocus coverage on the sensor is approximately 100%, which is not even possible with the latest Nikon ZF camera, which has a coverage of approximately 90% of the frame. The Z6 Mark 3 camera’s autofocus tracking mechanism has been upscaled to match the performance of competitors like Sony and Canon.
In terms of video resolution, the camera is able to record 6K videos up to 60 frames per second in N-RAW format internally on CFexpress Type B cards. For everything recorded in RAW, it is recommended to use CFexpress Type B cards. 4K recording up to 120 frames per second is available in DX mode.
Price-wise, the camera costs more than the Nikon ZF, so it’s now decision time. If the extended set of features, such as enhanced video core specifications or the maximum burst speed of up to 120 frames per second, matter to you, then you should invest in the Z6 Mark 3 camera. Otherwise, the Nikon ZF is still a good option with extensive manual control.

MELVILLE, N.Y., June 5, 2024 —Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is pleased to announce the new Canon EOS C400 cinema camera, with a native RF-mount and full-frame, back- illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, designed with the film and live production markets in mind. Canon is also proud to announce the company’s first MOUNT ADAPTER PL-RF, and an RF-mount version of the popular and award-winning CINE-SERVO 17-120mm cinema lens.
“Canon is proud to provide filmmakers and videographers with a variety of tools to capture high-quality and visually stunning images,” said Brian Mahar, senior vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “The new camera and lens strengthen Canon’s already impressive lineup of cinema products.”
EOS C400 Camera Back-Illuminated Stacked Sensor
For the first time in the cinema EOS system, the Canon EOS C400 camera features a newly developed 6K full-frame, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, with triple-base ISO, allowing the camera to deliver stunning imagery in a wide range of lighting conditions. The base ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800 maximize the full dynamic range of the camera.
An additional benefit of the EOS C400 camera’s sensor is the support for the next generation of Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, Dual Pixel AF II. The back-illuminated stacked positioning offers better light-capturing efficiency, which widens the area of the sensor that can be used for autofocusing. The sensor also empowers faster readout speed, as well as better 4K image quality from 6K oversampling.
EOS C400 Camera Recording Options
The EOS C400 camera records in 6K full frame up to 60p in 12-bit Cinema RAW Light. By changing the sensor mode, the camera can record 4K RAW up to 120fps and 2K RAW up to 180fps. This is all
recorded in Canon’s latest iteration of Cinema RAW Light, which provides three different recording modes to choose from depending on your file size preference and workflow.
Other recording options include the Canon-developed, industry standard XF-AVC codec which can be recorded in 10-bit 4:2:2 with oversampling from the 6K sensor, helping to create rich detail and smooth
imagery, at frame rates up to 120P, without the need for cropping the image from the sensor. Canon is also introducing two new recording codecs into the EOS C400 camera, XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S. These formats feature an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, while recording in the familiar MP4 format and preserving metadata.
All of these options are recorded to the camera’s CFexpress slot with sub-recording and proxy options available to the SD Card slot, which allows for simultaneous recording even when shooting RAW.
EOS C400 Camera Production Options
For live productions, the EOS C400 camera body features a dedicated 12-pin lens terminal for broadcast and cine-servo lenses, a variety of output and input interfaces including mini-XLR audio inputs, DIN connectors for time code, genlock and return video, 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI monitor outputs, a full-size HDMI output, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, Ethernet and much more. The camera also features SRT protocol for IP streaming of video and audio. For shooting scenarios where the camera will be controlled remotely, you can use the Ethernet port or Wi-Fi connectivity to enable remote control, including support for the Canon Multi-Camera Control app, browser remotes, or the Canon RC-IP100 or RC-IP1000 controllers via use of the included XC protocol.
The EOS C400 camera can also provide frame-by-frame metadata in real-time and post-production to support virtual production workflows. Ready for 180-degree VR shooting, the EOS C400 camera has built-in compatibility with the Canon RF5.2mm F2.8 L dual fisheye lens.
CINE-SERVO 17-120mm Cinema Lens
This latest cinema lens from Canon builds upon the legacy of the company’s CINE-SERVO line, with the added benefit of a native RF mount. The additional pins of the RF mount increase communication with RF-mount cameras such as the EOS C400, enabling auto focus, distortion correction and metadata output for virtual productions. The lens comes in either RF or PL mount configurations, with the PL mount version supporting ZEISS eXtended Data and ARIA (Automatic Restoration of Illumination Attenuation)i.
The lens’ new e-Xs V servo drive unit helps to improve its focus and iris speed, enables focus breathing compensation, and includes a USB-C connector for copying drive unit configurations.
PL to RF Mount Adaptor
Canon is also introducing the newly developed MOUNT ADAPTER PL-RF. This adapter opens up a broad range of PL mount lenses to the EOS C400 camera. The adapter maintains compatibility for Cooke i/Technology metadata communication between camera and lens and includes locking plates to help achieve maximum mount strength.

Canon announced the New RF 35mm F1.4 Lens with HYBRID MOTORS, the lens uses Ultrasonic as well as Voice Coil Motor to upscale AF speed, accuracy as well as no focus breathing.
CANON ANNOUNCES FIRST LENS IN SERIES OF FIXED FOCAL LENGTH RF HYBRID LENSES – RF35MM F1.4L VCM
New Portable Speedlite with New Multi-Function Shoe Design Also Available
MELVILLE, N.Y., – June 5, 2024 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the RF35mm F1.4 L VCM1 lens and Speedlite EL-10 flash. The new RF35mm lens is the first in a series of fixed focal length RF lenses with hybrid video and still design, and the Speedlite EL-10 integrates with Canon’s new multi-function shoe design, for users of recent Canon EOS cameras.
Answering the needs of many professional high-level photographers, the new RF35m F1.4 L VCM lens can be looked upon as a standard lens for video and still users — for example, those who use the EOS R5 and EOS C70 cameras. This lens is the beginning of a new hybrid lens series and with its fixed focal length, fills a gap as there is not a fixed focal length lens wider
than 50mm in the L-series — until now. Ideal for low-light, the RF35mm F1.4 L VCM lens features a manual iris (aperture) ring which helps provide better control when shooting movies. The lens allows very little focus “breathing” as focus is moved, and it’s highlighted by two
Aspherical lens elements and two ultra-low Dispersion glass elements. Overall, this lens has the outstanding L-series optical design many professionals have grown accustomed to. In addition, the lens can be used with the newly announced Canon EOS C400 cinema camera, further
reinforcing Canon’s full support of the video market.
“The new RF35mm F1.4 L VCM lens is the answer for high-level video in the mirrorless market
– while also providing still-imaging storytellers the durability and optical performance that is synonymous with Canon lenses,” said Brian Mahar, senior vice president & general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
The Speedlite EL-10 flash is designed for the amateur photographer who is stepping into the
mirrorless world, and the veteran user who is looking to get reacquainted with flash photography. The multi-function shoe helps the still imagery storyteller by providing immediate access to the flash control menu, and either an on-camera EL-10 or the optional super-compact Speedlite Transmitter ST-E10 assists with triggering from one through up to fifteen off-camera flashes2.
The Speedlite EL-10 is a radio-based wireless flash with 2nd-curtain sync capabilities, and leverages four AA batteries instead of a separate battery that requires charging — making operation more streamlined for some users. In addition, it features a Custom Flash Mode function, allowing the end-user to register and store up to three sets of flash settings, and is
approximately the same size and weight as its predecessor the Speedlite 430EX-III RT — while also pushing out the same amount of power. Automatic balanced fill flash is a key benefit to
using flash photography, whether during daytime or low light with a slow shutter speed, and the Speedlite EL-10 is an excellent gear bag addition to achieve that creative look in one’s photos.
“Flash photography is a simple yet versatile way to add drama to one’s photos and with Canon’s steadfast commitment to reliability, the Speedlite EL-10 provides a full-circle Canon shooting experience,” continued Brian Mahar, senior vice president & general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
Canon RF 35mm F1.4L Price & Shipping Information
Canon RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM lens is expected to be available in June for an estimated retail piece of
$1,499.00 and the Speedlite EL-10 will also likely be available in June for an estimated retail price of $249.99*. For more information, please visit usa.canon.com.

Finally, Sigma has announced the world’s first full-frame zoom lens with constant aperture, the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 Art is a perfect lens made for shooting cinematic portraits, a perfect lens for professional wedding photographers and cinematographers
B&H Store | Amazon.com
Introducing the SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art, the First Full-Frame F1.8 Zoom Lens for Mirrorless Camera Systems
Ronkonkoma, NY – June 3, 2024 – SIGMA Corporation of America, the US subsidiary of SIGMA Corporation (CEO: Kazuto Yamaki. Headquarters: Asao-ku, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa, Japan) is pleased to announce the SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art lens. This is the world’s first zoom lens with a constant F1.8 aperture for full-frame mirrorless camera systems. Available for Sony E-mount and L-Mount, this new wide-to-standard zoom spans several popular focal lengths from 28mm to 45mm, with image quality comparable to prime lenses.
The SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art was developed as a full-frame successor to the SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art (for APS-C DSLR cameras), which in 2013 became the first lens in the world to achieve F1.8 throughout the entire zoom range.
While offering the convenience of a zoom, this new lens does not compromise on optical performance. By effectively arranging 3 aspherical lens elements and 5 SLD glass elements, this lens suppresses various aberrations and achieves performance comparable to single focal length lenses, even surpassing the SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art and SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, which have an established reputation for their optical quality.
In particular, the 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art focuses on suppressing axial chromatic aberration, which is often noticeable in large-aperture lenses, to achieve images with minimal coloration on both the focus plane and bokeh, and to demonstrate high optical performance from open aperture. The minimum focusing distance is 30cm (11.8 inches) throughout the entire range, and the maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 is achieved at the 45mm focal length.
Featuring internal zoom and HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) autofocus, and an optical design that minimizes focus breathing, the SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art is well-suited for video work, including gimbal setups, thanks to its balanced design. The click/de-click switch and lockable aperture ring are designed to suit a variety of personal capture preferences, and the dust- and splash-resistant design also makes it suitable for shooting stills and video out in the elements.
The SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art lens will be available for $1,349 through authorized retailers in the US in late June 2024.
