Canon will add 4K 120fps video recording capability to Canon R6 III as well as Canon R7 Mark II in 2025. According to the latest rumors, Canon is testing out the Canon R7 Mark II camera body prototypes, here is what surfaced over the web a while ago. “Despite the tech. designed to maintain DR and low-light performance, the sensor readout speed is impressively fast. With the Digic accelerator, it supports 4K at 120 FPS, but cropping happens in HQ mode. However, is that when you enable pixel binning, you can record 4K at 120 FPS without any cropping.”
One thing, if the above is true then the Canon R7 Mark II, without a doubt a video beast, even Sony FX30 does crop at 4k 120fps.
Stay tuned we will update you as soon as we get any new information

1. Sony A1 Mark II: AI Chip Upgrade
Sony has added the AI chip inside the Sony Alpha A1 Mark II camera, which Sony missed at the time of the original announcement. Not just that, the Sony FX3 Mark II also doesn’t have the AI chip, and the Sony A7 IV update is still due with any AI chip integration. All these cameras are the ones that need AI chip integration to enhance their performance. Fortunately, the Alpha A1 Mark II camera now has it, and it upscales the overall performance of the camera. The design has been inspired by the A9 III, which we will talk about in detail.
2. New Heat-Sink Unit
The design has been inspired by the Sony A9 Mark III camera. It has been said very clearly during the press that the heat sink mechanism of the camera has been improved in a way that ensures while shooting 8K video even in uncontrolled weather environments, it wouldn’t have any problem. As well as You will also get extended periods of high-quality 4K 120 FPS Recording.
3. Sony A1 Mark II AI-Powered Burst Mode
We now have an Enhanced 120 FPS AF/AE refresh cycle even when the camera is shooting at 30FPS RAW mode. in the A1 Mark II camera.
4. Sony also UPSCALED buffer memory up to 2X.
With this, you can now capture up to 240 RAW files at 30 frames per second and 400 frames of JPEGs. Earlier, RAW was limited to 155 frames, and JPEGs were limited to 165 frames in the Alpha A1 camera.
4. Sony A1 Mark II Image Stabilization Upgrade
The image stabilization hardware has also been improved compared to the Sony Alpha A1. Earlier, it was limited to 5.5 stops; now, the hardware has been upscaled to an 8.5-stop rating. It’s the maximum physical limit available in any camera out there, so now you have a significant improvement compared to the original A1 camera.
5. Video – AI Chip and New Design, Bring a lot of improvement
The resolution and frame rates remain the same as those of the Sony A1, the predecessor. Still, there are many other noticeable improvements in the camera’s video core specification, Thanks to the new AI chip and improved body design.
Major advantages include a 20% improvement in the dynamic active image stabilization mode due to 8.5 Stops of IBIS, so we all know that Sony’s dynamic active image stabilization mode works flawlessly, which means it will stabilize footage, with the help of improved Active IS and Gyro now you can get gimbal-like footage from your hand. The AUTO-FOCUS improvement is not just limited to still mode. Even in video, you have automatic subject detection and algorithms active (Sony A1 doesn’t have that), Auto subject detection works wonderfully in video mode and now it can detect on-the-fly running wildlife animals and even birds more perfectly and accurately based on the advanced AI-based tracking mechanism. Most importantly, the eye autofocus tracking performance has been improved by 30%, as well as the human pose estimation tracking is also improved by the same ratio. Now you also have a NEW framing stabilizer (ensure that your frame maintains the same composition as much as possible when shooting handheld) as well as improved focus breathing compensation. Now you can shoot 4k 120fps and 8K 30fps for an extended period thanks to the new heatsink unit of A9 III.
6. Now you have 15+ plus stops of dynamic range
It’s a matter of tests. When independent agencies like Photons to Photos or DxOMark test the sensor, we will find out. That’s the only way we have right now. Sony claims that with the introduction of the new AI chip and improved image recording algorithm implemented in the Mark II camera body, the dynamic range of the camera has improved, and it’s now more than 15 plus stops, which is really amazing. The 3.2-type touchscreen is slighter higher resolution (2.1 million dots versus 1.44 million dots)
7. Content creator-friendly
The Sony A1 Mark II camera has now become content creator-friendly and adopts a kind of multi-aspect display screen, which is even more perfect than a vari-angle display. It was first seen in the Sony A7R V camera, and the same screen has been adapted for the A1 Mark II. Now photographers have more compositional freedom, and professional content creators can use this camera to create content for their channels.
8. The electronic viewfinder has been redefined.
The electronic viewfinder has been redefined. All the hardware remains the same, but with the help of the AI chip, the refresh rate can be tested up to 240 Hz with a loss in quality. Sony says you can now run in 120fps mode with display quality set to ‘high,’ though you will still see a drop in resolution if you go up to 240fps.
9. Expanded subject recognition
Sony promises to bring more updates in the future regarding the autofocus performance of the camera, and the continuous shooting speed could reach 120 frames per second in future updates, as per the rumors related to the A1 Mark II camera. However, at the same time, Sony has added cars, motorcycles, and drones mode to the camera, which was absent in the Sony Alpha A1. Most importantly, the camera now automatically selects subjects while shooting stills or video. You no longer need to select animal, bird, or human modes manually—the camera does it for you. With this, autofocus performance is much improved and is expected to improve even more in future updates.
10. New Noise Reduction Composite RAW Mode as well as in JPEG
A new noise reduction composite RAW mode has been introduced. It’s an expansion of the Sony Alpha A1 Pixel Multi-Shift mode. Now, with the addition of this noise reduction mode, the camera stacks between 4 to 32 RAW images and creates a composite together using the help of a desktop computer and the company-provided free software Imaging Edge. So with the help of the free software and multiple composites, you can generate very neat and clean images captured in extremely dark environments.
Cameras are using noise reduction algorithms from ages, but for the first time, they have introduced enhanced noise reduction with the help of AI algorithms limited to JPEGs only, and this will enhance image quality to a next level with next-generation firmware updates.
11. Introduction of 16 Custom LUTs for S-Log
Initially, in the Alpha A1 Mark II camera, Sony has provided 16 custom LUTs that you can use to preview what your log footage will look like when it’s graded. So you can use these LUTs alongside while recording with your camera to view the final look easily. There are 16 LUTs available, and in the future, more LUTs will become available to you through Sony’s customer download library.
12. Pre-Capture Mode Added
Pre-Capture functionality has been added to the Sony Alpha A1 Mark II camera, which was completely absent in the Sony Alpha A1. With a time frame of 0.03 seconds, 0.05 seconds, and 1 second, you can record up to 30 JPEGs in a row before you press the shutter.
13. Redesigned Menu System
Sony has also updated the menu system of the camera. They have also updated the button layout for more user-friendly controls, but at the very same time, along with it, they have also updated the menu and navigation inside the camera, which is now inspired by Sony cinema cameras like the FX3 and FX6. The interface has become much easier compared to the previous generation of Sony cameras when we compare it with the Sony A1.
14. Hand Grip Design Similar to A9 Mark III Body
Along with the updated menu design, the hand grip of the camera also has been redesigned. It has been made deeper, which is exactly the same as we have in the A9 Mark III camera, to hold out more heavier lenses easily. The photographers who have used this camera were very happy with the design improvement that they have experienced.
15. Focus bracketing
which was completely absent in the first generation of the Alpha A1 camera, has now been introduced in the Sony Alpha A1 Mark II. And what exactly is that? The camera captures multiple shots with incremental focus adjustments one after another, and it’s saved in a separate folder. Later on, you can merge them together or choose your focus point as per your wish or requirement in the Imaging Edge software.
Ethernet port speed has been upscaled to 2500 Mbps, enabling faster transfer of files through the Ethernet port. So now, it makes studio setups more fast and reliable.

Design – Compact Creator vs Rugged Explore
These two cameras are completely different specifically design-wise. The Sony ZV-E10 Mark II camera does have a small hand grip for shooting occasionally, but as we know since it belongs to the SONY ZV Series has been designed for content creation and cinematography. It has an ultra-compact body with fewer controls. The camera also doesn’t have any weather sealing over it neither the EVF.
The Nikon Z50 Mark II HYBRID camera has an electronic viewfinder with 1000 nits brightness. It also has a very deep and redesigned hand grip, even better than its predecessor. At the same time, the body is weather-sealed, so you can shoot in uncontrolled light environments without any issues.
Best Camera as per Design Conclusion / Verdict
For portability, flexibility, and easier controls, the Sony ZV-E10 II leads. Again, for durability, extensive manual controls, and outdoor adventure, it is recommended to use the Nikon Z50 II camera.

High Resolution vs Low Light Sensitivity
As we know, the Sony ZV-E10 II camera features a 26-megapixel CMOS sensor, while the Nikon Z50 II has a 20.9-megapixel sensor. Due to the resolution difference, the Sony ZV-E10 II camera captures more detail at the base ISO range starting from ISO 100-400, and it’s more recommended for landscape photography, portraits, and product shots where one wants to harness the maximum amount of detail possible from a camera.
On the other hand, we have the Nikon Z50 II camera with a 20.9-megapixel sensor. Due to the lower resolution, we have large photodiodes inside this camera, which enables more incoming light to be absorbed, resulting in cleaner images at higher ISOs. For example, if you are shooting at ISO 1600 or 3200, the Z50 II camera will provide you with cleaner images compared to he compatitor.
Sensor Image Quality – Conclusion / Verdict
When shooting in uncontrolled light environments, it is highly recommended that you get the Nikon Z50 II camera, specifically when you are shooting wildlife where your subject can be at any place or time, then it’s recommended to have cameras like Z50 II that can capture better details or images at higher ISO ranges.
Autofocus: AI Precision vs Autofocus Consistency
Sony ZV-E10 II camera features 759 phase-detection autofocus points. Not only does the number of autofocus points matter, but the autofocus algorithm of the Sony ZV-E10 II camera is powered by an advanced AI AF algorithm, so it enhances the overall autofocus experience 2x better than what it was in the Sony A6400 camera.
And Nikon Z50 Mark II also arrives with an upgraded autofocus system. As per Nikon’s press text, the Z50 Mark II camera uses the same autofocus algorithm that we have seen in the Nikon Z8 camera. Having said that, it’s a major improvement in Nikon APS-C lineup, and without a doubt, you can feel it. For example, even at 30 frames per second when you are using Nikon Z50 II at C30 mode, the camera does autofocus and auto-exposure calculation in every frame. That is a clear indication of how fast the Z50 Mark II autofocus calculation has now become.
The good thing about Nikon Z50 Mark II is, apart from improved autofocus modes, the camera does autofocus sensitivity up to -9 EV, whereas in Sony it’s limited to -3 to -4 EV depending upon the type of lenses you are using in both the cameras.
30 FPS Continuous shooting speed, the Nikon Z50 II camera features continuous shooting upto 30 FPS as well as Pre-Brust modes of 0.35ses, .05 Ses, and 1.0 Sec that captures a MAX of 30 Jpegs before you hit the shutter, one of the only cameras that offer pre-burst mode in this price segment.
Best AutoFocus – Conclusion / Verdict
Now, even though the Z50 II autofocus is much improved, for action-packed VIDEOS, it is highly recommended to use the Sony ZV-E10 Mark II camera 😉 . But for shooting action-packed images at higher frame rates, Z50 is the best option where you have multiple options like shooting with a mechanical shutter or electronic, at the very same time, the camera does autofocus and auto-exposure calculation all the way, even at 30 fps. That’s the Nikon Z50 II recommended for shooting action-packed images when we have these two options in front.
Electronic Stabilization vs Gyro
None of the cameras has Sensor-Shift IS [No Mechnical], The Sony ZV-E10 II camera uses GYRO which also includes active image stabilization. The Active IS works flawlessly but needs wide lenses to crop and apply the steb. If you have that much wider better to use GYRO. Nikon Z50 Mark II camera uses electronic stabilization in video mode [E-VR], which is of course not as good as we have in the Sony ZV-E10 II, but yeah, it is effective to some extent.
Best Camera for Handheld Shooting – Conclusion / Verdict
Since none of them have any kind of mechanical stabilization inside them, and if you talk about electronic image stabilization, then Sony excels while using the active mode as well as an option to use gyro-based image stabilization.

After reading this patent, we were really very much surprised that Canon is still working on their compact cameras. Specifically, I am talking about the G7 X series STYLE compacts, which were made for content creation and photography. The new generation of G7 X-style compacts in the patent features a unique electronic viewfinder design that we have never seen before. And Even some of them features DUAL DISPLAY along with EVF.
A Bold Setup Design
After closely looking at all the patents, I feel that Canon wants to create a big leap with the help of their AI tech to reintroduce compact cameras with a massive comeback. Canon seems intent on integrating the best of both worlds, such as an advanced electronic viewfinder in a compact camera alongside a versatile flip display screen.
Why This Product Blew Our Minds
This patent was completely unexpected. After reading it, it blew our minds to see Canon’s jaw-dropping innovative designs from Canon engineers. Canon is creating a variety of designs, such as a retractable EVF system, one that slides out, and another that rotates parallel to the camera body, Dual Display System based cameras. These different designs show that Canon is working on multiple prototypes of compact cameras.
So, Now We came to know that the CANON research and development team still working on innovative compact cameras. As we reported earlier, the demand for compact cameras is again on the rise. Right now, even Canon’s older compact models still in production cover 60% of the compact market in Japan. It’s exciting to see Canon compact cameras making a return, with more innovative designs and unique features.
What’s Next for Canon’s Hybrid Compact Cameras?
The patent makes it very clear that these cameras are being designed for modern-day vloggers and photographers. Canon is pushing boundaries by creating cameras with huge market potential.
Canon is Gearing Up for the Future
With advancements in AI technology, high-performance chips, and the Canon DIGIC accelerator (Canon’s own home-grown AI chip), Canon is going back to basics to develop a compact camera that is portable, powerful, and blogging-ready. At the same time, it will be an excellent tool for photographers.
Canon seems to be creating a compact hybrid camera setup that everyone—whether a content creator or a photographer—will wish to have.

Conclusion for the Sony a9 III:
- Optimized for Action and Sports Photography:
The camera is built for sports shooters, for the first time we have a camera that EXHIBIT 0 ROLLING Shutter issues in any of the frame rates users opts, so we have to appreciate the effort done by Sony to create this machine. Although the approach of the camera is limited.
- Compromises in Image Quality:
The camera performs exceptionally well as a sports camera in terms of AI AF working at 102 FPS mode. The visible trade-offs are the dynamic range and color depth, especially at lower ISOs, which can be seen clearly in the DXO Lab test.
- Good High ISO Performance:
Af detailed test, the DR range is maximum affected up to ISO 800, after that as the ISO climbs up the DR gets similar to other cameras and offers competitive high ISO performance, suitable for fast-paced, low-light scenarios.
- Focus on Speed and Responsiveness:
The emphasis on readout speed makes the a9 III perfect for capturing high-speed events where image quality can be slightly secondary.
- Not Ideal for Landscape or Studio Work:
Due to its lower dynamic range at the base ISO , it may not be the best choice for LANDSCAPE SHOOTERS who require maximum image quality, such as landscape or studio shooters.
Who Should Buy the Sony a9 III?
- Action and sports photographers.
- Wildlife [BIRD] photographers needing fast readout speed for moving subjects.
- Photojournalists covering dynamic and fast-paced events.
- Photographers requiring minimal rolling shutter for video or high-speed stills.

We’ve also included the price before and after discounts in the list, so you can easily see the original price you’d expect to pay after the deal period ends versus the current deal price. Both prices are listed in the deal’s heading.

Black Friday technically starts on November 29, but as you know, companies begin offering discounts as soon as November begins. Right now, we’re seeing some of the deepest discounts available on all the products mentioned.
Some websites, like B&H, also offer cashback options. Additionally, there’s a zero-percent interest offer specifically for Sony or Nikon Cameras if you take a loan for a camera within a one-year period.
