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

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.

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.

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.
So this is not new. On May 27, 2024 [check previous post], we received strong hints that DJI and their team are working on an interchangeable lens setup, we thought at the time it could be a BIG brother of DJI POCKET CREATOR Kit, and Most Probably the creator kit with DJI L Mount lenses support will be called PRO KIT.The camera will feature an L-mount and will have a new set of lenses coming with it. Initially, we thought it would be a type of DJI professional creator kit, but the latest information suggests it’s slightly different.
But, now these rumors surfaced again on the web and again the rumor mill has no clue what is coming next, if DJI announced a completely new interchangeable Lens mirrorless system cameras, for sure it will create a big threat to Canikon and Sony.
The Nikon 28-135mm power zoom lens is coming, and this has now been confirmed. Take a look at the official press release from Nikon below

A surprising video surfaced on the web., that shows Sony customer care representatives charged approx $700 for reversing a faulty firmware update on the FX3 camera
The video comes from the Camera Nerds Media YouTube channel. According to him, the camera was running on firmware update 2.0, was functioning perfectly without any issues. However, Nerds Media (he) decided to update the camera to firmware 5.0, and problems started just after that update. The camera began automatically stopping during recordings and behaving erratically, eventually becoming unusable.
He then contacted Sony’s US support center and given his camera to reverse the update and fix it asap. Shockingly, they charged him approximately $700 to fix the issue.
TNC takes: OMG, that’s a big amount if they have charged for just reversing a firmware.
This is quite a strange situation, and camera makers should learn from this incident. If any firmware update causes problems, there should always be an option to revert to the previous firmware version.
