Not good news for compact lovers, during the DSLR to Mirrorless transition process Canon is keeping significantly less attention to the development and announcement of G series compact cameras. Although models like the Canon G7X (Mark II) were very popular among users, none of the G series models are getting proper updates and now Canon started to discontinue G series compacts. It is a clear indication that Canon focuses now on the development and sales of Mirrorless cameras only.
Same in the case of Pansonic, they are also in a transition phase and putting all their attention on the newly announced S series of system cameras and lenses. Not only compact camera’s entire M4/3 line-up is suffering from ignorance, the entire entry-level lineup of M4/3 format cameras now smashed and nothing left apart from an active Panny G100 series model.
Several Product shots of the Olympus OM-5 camera surfaced over the web prior to its announcement. Here are some initial details shared team Nokoshita via digicaminfo

(ASIA PACIFIC, 14 October 2022) – Sony today announced the new vlog camera ZV-1F. Packed with creative power, easy-to-use vlogging functions, advanced connectivity, and eco-friendly features, it is the new go-to camera for vloggers and creators who want to capture stunning stills and video. The pocket-size camera has been optimised for vlogging with Sony’s latest technology to make content stand out.
ZV-1F key features:
Fixed ultra wide-angle 20 mm[1]0 prime lens for selfie shooting
Background bokeh and Face priority AE to ensure subjects standout
Skin tone optimisation including Soft Skin Effect option
High precision focusing and Eye AF for both humans and animals[2]
Active Mode (electronic) image stabilisation when shooting video[3]
Creative Look presets for ultimate visual expression
Slow motion and quick motion options to enhance creativity
Product Showcase Setting for product reviews
Enhanced touchscreen features with Touch Zoom and Step Zoom[4] functionality
Clear voice recording with 3-capsule mic and wind screen
4K 30p /FHD 120p
Easy smartphone connection to transfer content for social platforms
Eco-friendly features for reduced environmental impact
“We have designed the pocket-size vlog camera ZV-1F with creators front of mind,” said Yasufumi Machitani, Director, Digital Imaging Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “As audiences drive the demand for high-quality content, creators need an all-in-one camera solution that delivers superior quality with creative options whilst being easy to use and designed for wireless content sharing. We are also proud to have incorporated eco-friendly features in the ZV-1F as sustainability remains a key focus for Sony.”
Boost Your Creative Power The ZV-1F has been designed to let the subject shine in any scene with an ultra-wide 20mm prime lens for optimum selfie shooting and wide field of view to capture more background. The vlog camera also offers background bokeh in both stills and video to further highlight the subject or create a softer look.
Skin tone is optimised for both video and stills with a ‘Soft Skin Effect’ option that smooths and reduces wrinkles when shooting video and creates a natural skin tone effect for stills. Face Priority AE automatically adjusts the brightness when shooting so that faces can be captured with optimal brightness, even in situations where the light changes. The ZV-1F also boasts high precision focusing and Eye AF for both humans and animals which allows the autofocus to fix tenaciously on the face and eyes without getting diverted by other subjects. Users can easily change subjects via the camera’s touchscreen.
What’s more, when shooting video, image stabilisation is available in Active Mode[5] (electronic) to ensure footage is steady and smooth when walking.
The newly available Creative Look function gives users several preset options to create desired atmospheres in both stills and video with differences in tone, brightness, colour depth and more. A total of 10 modes are available to enhance creativity and allows users to share content immediately with no need for editing.
The ZV-1F also features S&Q mode[6] to shoot in both slow motion at 5 x slower speed[7] and quick motion at 60 x faster[8] hyper lapse speed to achieve a desired effect.
In addition to stills and video, high-quality sound is vital to capture perfect content. A Directional 3-Capsule Mic and wind screen provide clear voice recording and reduced noise in windy outdoor conditions.
A Simple Compact Vlogging Device The ZV-1F has been designed for total ease of use, so that vloggers can focus on content capture and intuitively use the camera without difficulty. Weighing only approx. 229g[9] it is compact and lightweight enough for everyday use and can be carried everywhere. It also features a Vari-Angle LCD touch screen with features and settings changed by touch, including the ability to zoom[10], so operation is instinctive.
The new vlog camera includes a Bokeh Switch button to allow users to quickly switch between background bokeh when they want to highlight the face and without, even whilst recording video. It also features a Product Showcase setting to allow users to seamlessly shift focus between face and products – perfect for reviews.
The ZV-1F also features a self-timer[11] and recording lamp to make video content even easier to capture.
Connectivity and Accessories The new vlog camera, ZV-1F, has been optimised for use with a smartphone. Sony’s new smartphone app Imaging Edge Mobile Plus™ [12] allows users to connect to the camera via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and transfer images and video. Content captured can be easily transferred to a smartphone and then uploaded to social platforms. Users can even mark shots for posting on social using shot marks[13] during shooting or on the camera. Additionally, users can cut out and transfer specific 15, 30, or 60 second[14] marked clips to their smartphone and post directly to social without the need to edit the length to suit the platform.
The Imaging Edge Mobile Plus™ app also allows users to control many of the camera’s settings like date, time and area as well as software updates and support guides. It can also operate the ZV-1F remotely and display battery level and remaining storage capacity.
Users can even use the ZV-1F as a high-quality live-streaming device. With an appropriate video conference application or similar software, the ZV-1F can function as a high-performance web camera when connected to a computer or smartphone via USB[16].
The ZV-1F is compatible with the GP-VPT2BT[17] Shooting Grip with Wireless Remote Commander which offers cable-free control of zoom, recording and more, and expands into a mini-tripod for stable hands-free shots. An external microphone can also be easily attached to the accessory shoe[18] for clear sound recording.
Supporting a Sustainable Future The ZV-1F was designed with environmentally friendly features and technology to ensure a sustainable future. Recycled materials[19] including SORPLASTM[20] are used in both the camera body and bundled accessories like the newly developed wind screen[21] that have been adapted to maintain performance. Plant-based non-woven fabrics are used for product bags to reduce plastic packaging.
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web the Sony A7R V camera is expected to arrive on October 26, 2022, with a 63 MP sensor. We also have several fake images floating over the web, but we will post more details here when authentic photos and detailed specs become available.
The Best Video Camera 2023 – Sony FX30 vs Canon R7 – The Canon R7 is a Mirrorless Hybrid Camera made for Photographers and cinematographers, the Sony FX30 is also a Mirrorless camera but made for cinematographers. In this comparison, we will find out the best camera to record videos.
In this comparison, we will keep our comparison limited to the Videographer.

2. Sensor
The Canon R7 sensor is a 32.5MP FSI CMOS sensor, There are two variants of CMOS: Front-side illuminated (FSI) and back-side illuminated (BSI). What makes a BSI CMOS sensor better than a conventional CMOS sensor? The simple answer is that the design makes it easier for light to reach the photo diodes on the sensor, BSI CMOS sensor ups readout speed and improves low-light imaging. And the Sony FX30 Camera features 26 MP BSI CMOS Sensor. So, sensor architecture says the Sony is better.
3. Video Resolution & Frame rate
4K 120 (1.6x / super 35mm look)
None
4k 60 (1.04x crop)
4K 60p HQ (1.8x Crop) / 4K Fine uncropped
4k 24, 30 fps
4k 24, 30 without crop
Full HD 240 FPS
Full HD 120 FPS
As you can see the Sony FX30 camera is able to shoot videos up to 4k 120 fps and Full HD videos up to 240 FPS. The crop factor of the Sony FX30 camera is negligible in 4k 60FPS mode and we do have an excessive crop in 4K video of the canon R7 camera if we are not using the “FINE” video mode. If we select the 4k 60fps full sensor readout mode in the Canon R7 then the camera goes into line-skipping algo and does record 4k videos with less details.
4. Video Codec
The Sony FX30 Record in 10-bit 4:2:2 using advanced XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats. But, in Canon, we are missing the ALL-I intra format and so the MAX BIT RATE Speed. I don’t know why Canon always keep out the ALL-I intra format from their Mirrorless cameras. The S-Log3, the FX30 can capture 14+ stops of dynamic range. in Canon R7 we have the Clog3.
The FX30 camera is capable of producing RAW video data up to 16 BIT from the HDMI port. the Canon R7 remains limited to 10 BIT.
Additional features include S-Cinetone uses the same color science as Sony’s advanced cinema cameras, including the VENICE line, with natural mid tones, soft colors, and smooth highlight roll-off. And the most important part is Up to 16 user-created LUTs and three presets can be set for accurately monitoring footage or previewing a specific look during shooting. These can be applied to the camera’s monitor or EVF as well as the HDMI output.
5. Low-Light performance
Recording at the base ISO enables you to take full advantage of the image sensor performance. You can capture material that withstands color grading better, without becoming degraded.

Two base ISO options are available for FX30 also as you can see in the table above, for low or high sensitivity. Choose a base ISO to suit the scene you are shooting.
6. Image Stabilization
Sony FX30 features Mechanical Image stabilization / 5-axis in-body image stabilization, as well as FX30, which can also record gyro movement when the optical + Mech. stabilizers are turned off. Canon R7 camera features an excellent mechanical IBIS unit that corrects up to 7 stops of unwanted camera shake when shooting handheld.
7. Verdict
Sony FX30 is the best camera for recording videos when compared to the Canon R7 camera.

Sony A7 IV is a Hybrid Camera and more Photography Oriented
The Sony A74 advantage
With the Sony A74 camera we are getting Sony’s latest 33MP Fullframe sensor. Undoubtedly with a full-frame sensor-based camera, you will get better results while shooting your subjects than with an APS-C sensor.
More for Photographers
Dynamic Range graph of Sony A74 – DR Boost at ISO 400 – Sony Fullframe cameras do carry a Dual Native ISO circuit for photography too… but Sony never talks about that officially.
The A7IV has a dual-gain for photos at ISO 400. So ISO 400 has more DR and should have slightly better noise than ISO 320 and ISO 250. ISO 250 is very close…just slightly below ISO 400. The only ISO to avoid is ISO 320
Via test when came to know about the boost for still photography. In the video as per a few expert’s options, the Boost is available @ ISO 1600 in A7 IV.
Less Rolling shutter with Mechanical Shutter
Sony A7 4 camera features a mechanical shutter and a TOP speed of 10 FPS, while ur using your camera in burst mode if u have mechanical shutter ON you will comparatively faceless rolling shutter than a camera that only uses an electronic shutter. either way, the Sony A7 IV is the best camera when we talk about shooting still subjects.

Conclusion
Budget means Limitations – But the limitations shouldn’t block your creativity – If you have a budget and looking for a cinema camera then go with FX3, the full-frame sensor cinema camera.
But at an Under $2000 body price if you are looking for a budget cinema solution then the Sony FX30 camera is best for you, Being an APAS-C sensor-based camera you can have sigma Trio lenses on the budget rather than investing in full-frame lenses.
For Hybrids, those who are into photography, as well as Video Sony A7 IV, is the best camera. But for cinematography, FX30.
