Nikon Z9 Firmware 4.00 is expected to arrive soon (within 24 hours) with some massive feature upgrades, we will post more update once it become official.
Bringing new features and advancements including:
– Auto Capture: a powerful automation feature for remote shooting
– ISO 200 equivalent in N-LOG video settings to capture more details in shadows with extremely low noise (Lo 2.0)
– New built-in 4x and 5x slow motion, IN-CAMERA, in full HD
– More speed settings to Hi-Res Zoom
– Exposure Delay Mode
– Improved 3D-tracking for small and fast subjects
– Four new shutter sounds to customize your camera and more!
The Canon R8 camera features the same sensor that we have seen in the R6 Mark II, the full-frame 24-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus sensor of the 2nd generation. Inside the Fuji X-S20 camera, we have an APS-C sensor of 26 megapixels.
As usual, the larger pixels tend to capture more light than the smaller ones. We have a Fuji APS-C sensor with a denser megapixel network, and in Canon’s full-frame sensor, we have only 24 megapixels. But at the same time, we also have to consider that there is a technological difference. Fuji is using a BSI sensor and Canon is using an FSI CMOS sensor.
This technology difference may make an impact on image quality, but image quality can also be affected by the laws of physics.
36.00µm2 vs 14.12µm2 approx 154% larger pixel area
So the big question is whether the 26-megapixel sensor will perform better in low light due to the BSI sensor technology or if a full-frame sensor with a 24-megapixel resolution will perform better. Let’s find out in the test.
At ISO 25600, it is very clear that Canon R8 photos are preserving more detail compared to the Fuji X-S20. As you can see in the image, the color blocks are very well maintained and the details are preserved.
At ISO 51200, the Fuji X-S20 camera again fails to impress, with Canon R8 preserving more details even at higher ISOs compared to Fuji’s X-S20.
2. Sensor shift image stabilization
Fuji xs20 camera features a sensor-shift image stabilization system which is completely absent in Canon R8. One of the biggest advantages we have is the ability to use slower shutter speeds in low-light environments, resulting in better light efficiency, more light to the sensor, and hence cleaner images.
So in practical situations, if one knows how to use the image stabilization system properly in combination with the shutter speed of the camera, they may have better output than a full-frame camera without an image stabilization system.
3. AUTO FOCUSING SYSTEM
Canon R8
Fuji X-S20
Canon R8 AF Points on Sensor: 4897
Number of cross-type focus points: 1053 ( AF frame zones)
Class Leading AI AF technology coming straight out from Canon R3 AF system
MAX Brust speed 40 FPS @ full Res. AI/AF support (JPEG only)
MAX Brust speed 30 FPS @ full Res. AI/AF support (JPEG + cRAW)
Fuji X-20 AF points: 425 HYBRID
Uses the Same AI AF as of Fuji X-H2s Camera
Now in auto mode, the camera can detect and track drones and insects too.
MAX 30 FPS with 1.5x CROP AI/AF support
MAX 20 FPS @ Full Res. AI/AF support (RAW + JPEG)
From this specification analysis, it is obvious that the Canon R8 camera features an advanced autofocus system. For sports shooters or wildlife photographers, it is recommended to get the Canon R8 camera with lenses like 100-400 (Budget zoom). But if you are a daily life photographer, event shooter, wedding photographer, street shooter, portrait or fashion photographer, you will actually feel no issue while working with the autofocus system of the Fuji X-S20.
So for sports and wildlife photography, it is more recommended to get the Canon R8 camera, and for others, you can buy either of these two cameras.
4. Weather sealing in Canon
The Canon R8 camera is a weather-sealed camera, so it allows you to work in adverse situations where you may feel a bit worried about taking out your camera from your bag. But at the same time, the Fuji X-S20 is not weather-sealed, so you have to keep this in mind before buying either of these two cameras.
5. Double battery life of Fuji X-S20
With the Fuji X-S20 camera, you are getting approximately 750 shots per charge since, for the first time, they have used a professional-level battery in a mid-range APS-C series camera. However, you have to feel some limitations because the battery life of the Canon R8 camera is limited to 290 shots in a single charge. For those who mostly shoot outdoors, such as travel photographers, they must keep an extra battery pack for Canon cameras. The good thing is that both cameras allow you to charge via USB even when you are shooting
The Fuji X-S20 camera has open lens mount support that Canon R8 doesn’t have. As a result, the availability of lenses in Fuji X mount is huge and at the same time, they are affordable when compared with Canon full-frame lenses that you have to buy with the Canon R8 camera.
So if you are interested in the Canon R8 camera, you have to keep an extra budget for collecting all the essential lenses for your camera. Otherwise, while working with variable aperture kit zoom lenses, you will never achieve the optimum image quality of the camera
So which camera you should buy as a photographer?
Yes, you can buy the Canon R8 camera in 2023, but you have to keep a few things in mind.
The camera does have a full-frame sensor, resulting in better low light performance. But at the same time, you have to mostly buy OIS lenses to have proper output since the camera body doesn’t have any sensor stabilization system.
The biggest issue that I see is the locked lens mount of Canon, so we have limited options at a higher price range. For lenses, you have to keep your budget at a different level so you can buy the set of lenses you actually require for your work.
And the biggest advantage that you will have in your hands after having the Canon R8 camera is a class-leading autofocus system directly coming from the Canon R3 flagship model. This not only helps for still shooting but also incredibly helps for capturing videos.
Should you buy the Canon R8 camera in 2023?
So if you would like to buy the Canon R8 camera, there are only two things that affect me before directly recommending it to you. The first thing is the locked lens mount and the other thing for a photographer is the lack of an IBIS mechanism. For this, you have to keep a bigger budget and for the lack of an IBIS mechanism, you have to follow some rules like the shutter speed rule that you should keep while using different focal length-based lenses. So you will manage to get some sharp output from this camera. Otherwise, it’s an excellent camera at this price range.
So we have already discussed the still part of both the camera now discuss the video part
7. Best Cameras for capturing videos – Canon R8 vs Fuji X-S20
The Fuji X-S20 camera offers 6K video recording in an open gate format. Now we all know that nowadays 3:2 format videos are not that usable. With the Fuji X-S20 camera, you are also able to record 5.2K videos in the 16:9 standard format. Fuji is the only camera that offers 5.2K video recording in this price range with full-time autofocus support from third-party lens makers.
So these two advantages are completely absent in the Canon R8 camera.
Now let’s talk about the common strength of both cameras in video mode. The Canon R8, as well as the Fuji X-S20, both allow you to record 4K videos up to 60 frames per second uncropped. You can record 4K 60 FPS video in 4:2:2, 10-bit format inside your camera. Both cameras offer you the use of their C-Log and F-Log modes to extract the maximum out from the video mode.
8. Dedicated VLOG Mode
Now let’s talk about a dedicated Vlog mode and more dial present on top of the camera. Fuji engineers worked hard to impress the new generation of content creators and for those, they have not only placed a dedicated Vlog menu on top of the camera but they have also designed a brand new user interface for content creators or those who are coming straight out from a smartphone.
In the new content creator menu, you will easily find the product showcase mode, face tracking priority mode and in different blocks of the content creator menu, it’s very easy to operate the camera and to switch to different modes which are not present right now in the Canon R8 camera.
9. IBIS for video and content creation
Finally, in video mode, we are also having the support of a mechanical image stabilization system in Fuji so that would be a great help when you are working and creating content or shooting cinematography with your camera. The IBIS mechanism will help you a lot in capturing stable footage from your camera.
Again, an open lens mount is one of the biggest factors to recommend Fuji over Canon right now. You have a huge range of lenses to select from which includes wide-angle lenses.
10. External fan
With the Fuji X-S20 camera, you get an option to add an external fan. So in case it overheats when you are shooting in the summer months of June and July, the external fan will double the shooting time length of your camera whether you are shooting in 4K or 5.2K. No such extension is available in the Canon R8 camera although we didn’t receive any major overheating issues related to it.
Let’s talk about which camera is best for videographers, cinematographers, and content creators.
Best Camera For videographers and cinematographers,
Both cameras are highly usable. Specifically, if you are working in an uncontrolled light environment, then you might have the advantage of the Canon full-frame sensor. The camera is capable of recording 4K 60fps videos and due to the large pixels, you will have slightly better low-light performance when compared to the APS-C crop sensor of the Fuji camera.
However, there are two disadvantages.
One is the absence of an image stabilization mechanism that restricts its handheld use while shooting videos.
The second disadvantage for videographers is the absence of a proper lens range in your budget.
Why you should prefer the Fuji X-S20 over the Canon R8 for videography and cinematography?
The big reason to buy the Fuji X-S20 camera is its ability to record 5.2K videos at 16:9 format at a rate of 30 frames per second.
Despite having an APS-C CMOS sensor, the overall bitrate is 360 Mbps which is a bit more than Canon R8’s 340 Mbps. This directly means you are getting more color information resulting in enhanced video quality. The only disadvantage that we have discussed is that you may face some low light disadvantages due to the limited APS-C sensor size. But if you are shooting in low light, it’s recommended to use Fuji’s F-Log2 (claim to have 13 stops of DR) to extract the maximum quality possible from a given scene.
The biggest known advantage while using the X-S20 camera is the availability of a huge range of lenses from third-party lens makers.
presence of an image stabilization system that helps you get stable footage on the move and at the same time,
the ability to add an external fan to double the recording time.
Best camera for content creators at this price range:
The Fuji X-S20 camera is the best camera we know for content creators at this specific price. Now, Fuji’s autofocus system is much improved and it features multiple autofocus modes for content creators. At the same time, we have a dedicated content creator menu that you can operate efficiently, and as usual, there is a range of lenses for you. More or less, the X-S20 has now become the best and most highly recommended camera for content creators.
The latest news about Canon R1 surfaces all over the web. Take a look at the important set of specifications coming out from the rumor mill.
Canon R3 Design
According to the sources of the rumor mill, Canon R1 will have a similar body design as the Canon EOS R3.
Large Display Unit of 4 inch?
There will be a large display panel on the backside of the camera, so rumors are expecting a four-inch display screen on a professional-grade photographer’s camera. Since for Cinematographers we already have a separate line of cameras.
45 Megapixel Resolution
The resolution of the camera is rumored to be around 45 megapixels, possibly the stacked version of the Canon R5 sensor.
Class Leading EVF
The viewfinder is said to be of the highest resolution in the Canon lineup, so we can expect a 9-megapixel viewfinder for the first time to be introduced inside Canon.
Global Shutter
Global Shutter is understandably far away for Canon, but yeah, the rumor mill is still speculating. So let’s hope we see at least technology similar to a global shutter or even a sensor with a fast readout speed that captures images without any significant rolling shutter effect.
Dual CFexpress card slots
The camera will have dual CFexpress card slots and one of the sources also said that at least one of the slots is Type-C. So it is kind of a mixed bag and we have to wait for more clarity
NEW Autofocus System
Rumor Mill is speculating on the arrival of the QPAF AF system inside Canon R1.
Cinema EOS Video Features
Team of Cinema EOS working on R1 to develop its high-grade video feature
Canon R1 Arrival Date
Paris Olympic games begin in July of next year
Take it with a grain of salt, since these are not confirmed sets of specs coming out from reliable sources.

Take a look at the set of information we have related to the upcoming Sony a600 camera
The new updates include that the A6700 camera sensor doesn’t have DRAM. This is quite obvious since the upcoming Sony A6700 camera is rumored to use the same sensor that we have seen in the Sony FX30 camera and the sensor of FX30 is not a stacked CMOS sensor. Only a stacked CMOS sensor uses a DRAM chip alongside the sensor to speed up the processing speed.
The second piece of information we are getting from a different source of the rumor mill is that the Sony A6700 camera matches the size of the Sony A7C, approximately 4mm higher and 3mm longer, excluding the grip.
The third and most important information is that the camera is coming on July 12th alongside a 70-200mm lens. So that’s really very interesting news that not only will there be a camera, but we will also have a brand new G Master telephoto zoom lens from Sony
Sony A6700 Expected Core Specification
26.1MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor
BIONZ XR & AI Processing Unit
AI-Based Real-Time Tracking AF System
UHD 4K up to 60p (uncropped)
S-Cinetone
S-Log3, 4:2:2 10 Bit internal
5-Axis Image Stabilization
updated Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF 3.69m-dot resolution for bright, clear viewing in high detail
If you’re new here, let me clarify that we published the rumored set of specifications for the upcoming Sony camera back in April 2023 and the rumored set of specs now seems to be 100% true. You can look at it again here. But the big question raised is whether the Fuji XS20 camera has killed the APS-C camera competition by including 6K open gate recording and 5.2K recording at 16:9 standard format in a mid-range APS-C camera body.
Now, as we all know, the Sony A6700 camera is rumored to use the same 26 MP BSI CMOS sensor. Yes, the only difference is that the Sony sensors are Bayer pattern-based and Fuji’s are X-Trans pattern-based, but both are 26 MP BSI CMOS sensors.
The Fuji XS20 camera raised the competition bar to the next level. The camera is able to record 6K and 5.2K, but will the upcoming A6700 camera remain limited to 4K 60p recording (according to the rumors we have from rumor mills) or will it feature 6.2K open gate and 5.2K 16:9 format recording to compete against the Fuji XS20?
Fuji already included Sony’s most popular log camera menu in their camera system that includes product showcase mode and face tracking mode simplified in a content creator menu inside the XS20 camera. If Sony fails to achieve the video resolution that the XS20 camera already offers, it will be a big failure for Sony and it may lose a new consumer base since even Fuji has an open lens mount and advanced autofocus system inside XS20.
According to the latest rumors, Sony A6700 Announcement on July 12, 2023. The camera is rumored to feature 26.1MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor, take a look at the detailed specification below
Sony A6700 Expected Core Specification

Let’s talk about the best lenses for the Canon EOS R100 camera. The Canon EOS R100 camera is the best budget entry-level camera available right now from Canon. The camera features a 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 processor, so you will get great image quality from the camera. The camera also supports full HD video with Dual Pixel CMOS AF and you can also record 4K videos with a 1.55x crop.
In this post, we have selected some of the best available lenses for the Canon EOS R100 camera. These lenses can be used for shooting portraits, wedding photography, fashion, sports, or even beginner wildlife photography.
Let’s have a look at the best set of lenses available for the Canon EOS R100 camera.
1. The most affordable zoom lens 18-45mm IS STM
The best budget lens or the most usable lens for your Canon EOS R100 camera is its native kit lens, the 18-45mm IS STM. The lens features a stepping drive motor and built-in optical image stabilization to help you achieve stable shots.
In general, the quality of kit lenses is not great, but the 18-45mm IS STM lens is not among those. The quality is very good and it can be used as a general-purpose lens by beginners while they are stepping into the world of digital camera photography.
With 18mm wide coverage, you can shoot some great landscapes, architecture, or friends gathering with this camera. At 45mm, which is near about or approximately 50mm, you can click some good portraits with decent background blur. It’s not a prime lens but you will get some amazing output with this lens if used properly.
The image stabilization function of this particular lens works very effectively and it corrects up to 4 stops of shake correction when paired with the Canon EOS R100 camera body. So even if you are shooting in low light environments, the lens will help you get sharp images inside your camera.
Finally, let’s talk about the Macro lenses performance, The lens uses a center focus macro function that helps you capture close-ups up to 0.26x magnification at 45mm. And the best macro capturing range is at 35mm when the lens allows you to have a magnification ratio of 0.59x which is somewhere near to Canon macro lenses.
Overall, the kit lens’ quality is very good for beginners and it is very useful. And if you want to have some upgrades now, we are recommending some of the best prime lenses paired up with some good zoom lenses.
2. Canon RF 18-150mm Lens
The Canon has recently announced the 8.3x APS-C zoom Lens for Canon R100 that packs in a useful 29-240mm (35mm equiv.) focal length range. It’s ideal for travel, wedding photography, landscapes, garden wildlife, and sports.
If you are looking for an all-rounder long focal length zoom lens for your Canon camera, then the best option for you is the Canon RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. The lens gives you an awesome range of 8.3x optical zoom, starting with a wider coverage of 18mm. If you are a beginner wedding photographer or travel shooter, or even a wildlife photographer, this lens will be a highly versatile lens for your photography and videography needs.
The lens features a stepping drive STM motor that focuses really fast, with full-time accuracy and silence 1. The lens features optical image stabilization up to 4.5 stops so it helps you capture stable shots even when you are using the lens at 150mm at slower shutter speeds.
This is the only best all-in-one lens option available right now in Canon RF-S mount for its APS-C mirrorless cameras so we highly recommend that if you want an all-in-one zoom lens, the Canon RF-S 18-150mm IS STM lens is highly recommended.
The price of this lens is $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You can use this lens as a default lens for your Canon R100 camera.
3. Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens
Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 lens is the best Canon lens available right now if you want to have ultra-wide prime coverage. The lens is highly recommended for architecture, landscape, and indoor photography.
With its bright aperture of f/2.8, it allows you to capture clear images even in low light. With the 16mm focal length, corner sharpness is never an issue – from center to corner the lens is very sharp. The chromatic aberration and lens distortion are also very well controlled.
This lens features a fast and silent autofocus system, making it a perfect companion when you want to shoot high-quality family group photographs or friends gathering at night, under low light environments. This lens helps you a lot to capture well-lit images even in uncontrolled light environments.
I would say the 24mm F1.8 Macro STM lens is the most usable prime lens for a photographer with an APS-C Sensor based body like Canon R100. The eqv focal length of this lens is 38mm which is near the standard focal length of 35mm. The wide angle is ideal for landscape and street photography. This 24mm lens can be used for shooting family and friends’ portraits in a home in a low-light environment. Also perfect for capturing macro images due to its 1:2 magnification ratio and close-up shooting distance of 5.5 inches.
Perfect lens for YouTubers: You can also use this lens for your office and room vlogs, also perfect for food photography or vlogs with this lens. You have to just maintain 3 to 5 feet distance from your camera/rest your camera on a tripod, make a 3 to 5 feet distance from the camera and start making your online content with excellent sharpness and creamy bokeh in the background.
The 24mm Lens also features OIS (Optical image stabilization), for the first time I have seen Canon giving us OIS features in Prime lenses like 24mm. The OIS is effective up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working handheld in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Whether you are creating videos with the lens or shooting still images the OIS help all the time.
The lens is available at $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You will feel the price is high. But also think twice that it’s a Fullframe lens and will remain compatible with your camera even if you upgrade your camera to full frame. And despite being a 24mm Prime lens, the lens also features OIS and macro Capability, none of such features are available even in competitors’ lenses.
5. Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM
Perfect for professional-quality portraits with a Canon R100 camera. The Canon RF 35mm F1.8 when paired with Canon R100 gives you an equivalent focal length of 50mm Lens in full-frame format. So it actually will act as a 50mm F1.8 with optical image stabilization and macro capability.
The size of this lens is slightly larger than the 24mm F1.8, It measures 74.4 x 62.8 mm and weighs 305g. However, this is still relatively light and compact. The lens pairs very comfortably with the canon R100 camera and has a sleek look and feel. There is a focus switch on the side of the lens, the lens does support full-time manual focus. That is, you can manually focus the lens by adjusting the focus ring even when the camera is set to autofocus.
The 35mm Lens allows you to set the MAX aperture to F1.8, which enables the lens to capture amazing low-light images in any conditions and generate pleasant, creamy bokeh-filled backgrounds. The lens features Super Spectra coating that has been applied to individual elements to reduce the ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
$499 (Amazon.com | B&H Store) is the price of a 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro lens, this is a very reasonable price lens if you look at its features. The lens is a Fullframe lens and features Macro capability as well as optical image stabilization. We highly recommend this lens for the Canon R100 camera.
6. Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM Lens
If you are into portrait photography and looking for an affordable option the Canon RF50mm F1.8 Lens is best for you. The RF 50mm lens is equivalent to 85mm when paired with a Crop sensor camera like Canon R100.
The telephoto prime lens measures 69 x 40 mm and weighs 160 g. This makes it the lightest lens on our list, , balancing well with the weight of the camera. To suppresses spherical aberrations Canon has introduced One precision-molded (PMo) aspherical element inside this lens, it also upscaled the sharpness and accurate subject rendering.
The overall image quality is fantastic. You’ll love how easy it is to snap incredibly sharp, beautiful photos using this lens, and your subjects will love it even more. Although the lens has a limited Macro capability of 50cm, so if you want a better macro performing lens you have to buy the other two primes (24mm and 35mm) mentioned above in the list.
With a price tag of $199 (B&H Store | amazon.com) Canon RF 50mm, F1.8 STM Lens is the most affordable prime lens in RF lineup. The reason behind that is the lens doesn’t have the OIS like the other prime lenses as well as macro capability.
7. Canon 85mm F2 IS STM Macro
Canon 85mm F2 Macro Lens features optical image stabilization as well as a stepping drive motor. The equivalent focal length of 85mm lens on the Canon R100 body will be 136mm. It reminds me of Canon’s popular 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens. The lens can be used effectively when you want to capture wildlife beauty without disturbing them. 85mm (136mm on R100) will allow you to work from a distance and also Optical Image stabilization within. So, you can also take some amazing macro shots or portraits of models handheld.
The telephoto prime lens measures 78 x 90.5 mm and weighs 500 g. This makes it the largest and the heaviest lens on our list, Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
The lens creates creamy bokeh at F2 and is perfect for portraits, I have used this lens with a Canon R5 camera and at F3.5 to 5.6 the lens produces razor-sharp images with an exceptional amount of details resolved through the sensor. With its macro capability, the lens is able to do 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 1.15. And the Configurable Control Ring on this lens can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
The price tag $549 (B&H Store | amazon.com) price makes this lens one of the most costly prime lenses on our list. although with Optical image stabilization, Macro capability, Steeping drive motor, and rounded nine-blade diaphragm make this lens the perfect choice for professional photographers.
8. Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 USM
Prime lenses do give the best quality possible since they have minimal moving lens elements inside them optimized for best performance. However, zoom lenses like the 100-400 are also a worthwhile investment.
