It’s look like Canon isn’t so happy with their market share right now. Although they have very limited Fullframe Mirrorless camera models in market. Take a look what Canon thinks about their market share
An executive of a parts manufacturer that supplies Canon’s mirrorless camera parts said, “I thought that sales would increase with the introduction of full-size mirrorless, but it was at a level that did not reach the initial plan at all. “We have no choice but to change the management plan.”
We do believe that Canon should speed up the development and announcement of their Mirrorless camera and lenses. Back on September Nikon publicly said that they are speeding up the development and announcement of Mirrorless camera, so for sure next year we will see a major expansion in Nikon Mirrorless cameras range. Canon should do the same, they have joined the mirrorless world bit late, so they have to work hard to gain mirrorless market share.
It’s look like someone not happy with the Sony A6600 camera announcement. Sony A6500 camera was announced back on October 2016, now after waiting for 2+ years Sony announced A6600 camera with minor updates over A6500. Take a look what Engadget said when they have tested out the new Sony A6600 camera.
It’s bizarre that Sony didn’t update the sensor over the last model, considering that it’s the world’s leader in sensor technology. The bad rolling shutter was the biggest weakness of the original A6500, and it’s now back to haunt the A6600. In 2019, it has to compete against the X-T3, Z 50, Canon’s M6 II and Panasonic’s GH5, none of which have rolling shutter that’s nearly as noticeable. I also wish it had two faster card slots and more advanced 4K options.
If you’re looking to spend $1,400, I’d get the X-T3 instead, which is a better all around camera. If it’s resolution you need, take a look at Canon’s M6 Mark II which is cheaper ($1,050 with the EVF) and can also shoot faster. If you’re okay with a smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic’s $1,500 GH5 is still the best video-centric mirrorless camera out there, especially with recent AF firmware updates.
They could use the new 26MP BIS CMOS sensor they have sold to Fuji, at the same time to work effectively on s-log we need at least 10bit video output from the camera. But again Sony A6600 limited to 8bit as of its predecessor. They need to simplify their APS-C line-up of camera as they have did in FF range. At the end, you might get an A7III for the price of the a6600 and that is definitely a better deal!
Ok, that’s really interesting and fun to see some silly mistakes related to the Nikon Z50 camera announcement. We have several mistakes in camera image sample page and once noticeable mistake in sample video of the Nikon Z50 camera.
Got these snaps from

As you can see someone in Nikon able to grab F2.8 images from 15-50mm F3.5-6.3VR Lens

Someone shooting at 60FPS and text shows 120FPS.
But, all these are just funny mistakes. Above all Nikon Z50 is a excellent camera with very impressive core specification. Grab your camera from B&H Store and Amazon.com
In a short video you will know how fuji is keeping up the X100 series camera names… and if you know the algorithm you can predict the future camera names (Btw, Fuji can change their pattern after watching this video).
We all know smartphone killed compact camera sales, but nowdays smartphones are using AI technique to generate more perfect images. And with passing time these techs are improving so well, that in near future smartphones will give tough competition to interchangeable lens camera market.
Why not even a single camera maker step out of box and adopt adnroid OS for their camera and spend some time and money in R&D of AI based customized camera apps for their system cameras.
If any camera maker combine the goodness of large camera sensor and AI based camera modes + image decoding algorithms as we have in smartphones, then for sure we will have best tool in our hands.
Zeiss ZX1 is a excellent attempt to create smartcameras
We all know Zeiss ZX1 is a smartcamera which uses android OS and customized camera app. But it cost too high and not in the reach of day to day shooters. We need a new series of smartcameras that can uplift the performance of existing cameras.
What will happen in next Five years ?
Do you have any idea what will happen in next five years if smartphone makers improves their AI to next level and introduce more complex and high quality camera modules behind smartphones ?
Finally we have the major specs of the Canon EOS Ra camera. Let’s take a look at the major specs of the camera. It features almost same core specs as we have seen in Canon EOS R camera.
Canon EOS Ra Major Specification [Rumor]
30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
Infrared Sensitivity–Astrophotography
DIGIC 8 Image Processor
4K30, 24 Video
C-Log & 10-Bit HDMI Out
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
3.69m-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder
3.15″ 2.1m-Dot Swivel Touchscreen LCD
Expanded ISO 50-102400
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, SD UHS-II Card Slot
Multi-Function Bar, Dual Pixel RAW
Modified infrared filter and a low-noise sensor with heightened hydrogen-alpha sensitivity. These modifications allow the camera to capture magnificent photographs of “red hydrogen emission” nebulae and other cosmic phenomena.
The major difference between the EOS R and EOS Ra is the modified IR cut filter. Canon has altered the filter to provide the Canon EOSRa with greater infrared light sensitivity and enabled it to achieve hydrogen-alpha light transparency. Hydrogen-alpha, also referred to as H-alpha or Hα, is a very specific red visible spectral line created by hydrogen, with a wavelength of 656.28nm. This red visible line in the spectrum occurs when hydrogen electrons fluctuate between the second and third-tiered orbits (or energy levels) of a hydrogen atom (according to the Balmer Series). When they move between these levels they absorb or release energy, and this emission and absorption of energy occurs at 656nm.
The IR cut filter modification of the Canon EOS Ra helps to allow as much light as possible to pass through this narrow bandwidth at the H-alpha frequency. The modification essentially allows you to photograph reddish, diffuse nebulae and other astronomical phenomena in a clearer, more brilliant manner—void of the IR attenuation associated with traditional hot mirrors and other IR-blocking technologies on most cameras. The need to photograph light at this wavelength is paramount because the color of light emitted from nebulae is strongest, and most pure at the hydrogen-alpha line. The color of this light is outside the parameters of the visible spectrum, and our eyes, or camera, cannot accurately render this light without filtration.
Finally the images of the Canon EOS Ra camera leaked. Now we are waiting for it’s official announcement which is about to happen in next few days. As we have said earlier also in our post the camera will have almost same core specification as we have seen in the Canon EOS R camera. Except a modified low-pass filter which will be more sensitive to infrared light.
World First FF Mirrorless Camera Dedicated for Astrophotography
We have no FF Mirrorless camera dedicated for Astrophotography. In Nikon we have the D850(A) FF DSLR dedicated for astro work. So. literally Canon will soon become world first and only camera maker to have FF Mirrorless camera for astrophotography. Sony A7R IV and A7R III mirrorless camera know as star eaters, Hope Sony and Nikon will also join the astro race soon with capable cameras.
