According to the latest rumors surfaced online, the Ricoh GR4 is likely to be announced sometime in late 2025. The information is coming out from webio [federation of independent photographers] As per the rumors, the camera will have massive improvements in the out-of-box system as well as in battery life.
Same kinds of rumors surfaced back in 2024. At that time, Ricoh sources confirmed that these rumors were false, and they were not planning to announce the GR4 camera in late 2024 or the first quarter of 2025.
When asked why there were rumors of the release of the Ricoh GR4? The source responded: The Ricoh GR series cameras are highly praised by users and the market feedback is hot. It is not surprising that there have been many rumors about the release of the GR4 last year and this year. It is too early to talk about the specific release date of the Ricoh GR4 camera. The existing GR3 and GR3x series models are still in short supply.
The Ricoh GR3 was announced back in 2019 and the GR2 was announced back in 2015, even if we talk about scheduled announcement timelines, the GR4 is overdue for an update. But at the very same time, Ricoh is not that serious about the camera. However, we do hope and expect that they will bring an update in the year.
Ricoh was once working on action cameras back in 2019 – check here

 Image of Sony 11mm APS-C Lens image file As we have discussed earlier, Sony is releasing two new lenses and two new cameras. Let’s first discuss these two lenses. Then, we will discuss the cameras we have already discussed in the previous post.
Sony FE 16mm F1.8
The first is the vlogging-friendly 16 mm f/1.8 lens. This particular lens is a budget f/1.8 lens developed for full-frame sensor-based cameras. We already weigh the VILTROX 16 mm f/1.8 lens. That being said, the upcoming Sony lens is more compact and looks very similar to their APS-C line of compact lenses, like maybe the 11 mm f/1.8. The next thing Sony is working on is a budget telephoto zoom lens for wildlife and landscape photographers.
Sony FE 400–800 mm f/6.3–8.0 lens
We already have Sony’s 200–600 mm lens, and this will be an extended edition in the same series, where you can reach from 400 to 800 mm. This new lens will undoubtedly become more popular over time due to its reach. Wildlife photographers and bird shooters love to have a lens beyond 600 mm to capture details more closely, and if a lens option like 400–800 mm is available, anyone would surely pick this lens instead of getting a 200–600 mm.

Sony registered a new camera with the wireless certification agency, and the model code of the camera is WW277226. What we are expecting for now is the Sony A7 V camera, since if we pick up the rumors we just published recently [ Sony A7V surfaced at wireless certification agency and Sony A7 V and Sony 50-105mm F2.8 Lens Coming], it all indicates that Sony is planning to announce the A7 V camera in early 2025, as per the Sony rumor mill that the announcement may happen in March 2025. Generally, whenever camera makers like Sony, Nikon, or Canon register a camera with the wireless certification agency, they take 2–3 months to announce their product in the market. And since the Wireless certification details of the Sony A7V camera surfaced back in December it’s quite obvious that the camera is expected to arrive in March 2025.
Now about WW277226 – it’s one more camera in the two, WW277226 is not Sony A7V it’s something else although the name isn’t known yet. But since it has been surfaced today [on January 21st, 2025] the announcement of the Next ALPHA camera after the Sony A7V is expected sometime in April-May 2025.

According to the latest, Sony will announce the FE 50-105 F2.8 lens at the end of February 2025. At the same time, Sony is highly likely to announce the Sony A7 V camera in March 2025.
We have gathered a lot of information about the Sony A7 V camera in the past [check all updates here Sony A7 V], and the latest set of details suggests that the camera may feature a 44-megapixel sensor. However, in the past webio (Chinese sources) suggested that there is also the possibility of a 33-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor. So, if we concentrate on all the information received over the past year, it creates two possibilities: either the camera will come with a 44 MP BSI CMOS sensor or a 33 MP stacked CMOS sensor.
Again, we are waiting for further confirmation. If received, we will post an update very soon.

Which camera is better for longer hours of work, like weddings and events lasting hours, the Leica SL3 S or Nikon Z8?
In the design comparison, it is visible that the Leica is built like a tank, heavier, but at the same time, the electronic viewfinder and the display part of the camera are of more premium quality. For more prolonged shooting, such as during weddings and events lasting over 7-8 hours or more, it’s recommended to hold a camera that makes you comfortable for longer hours of work, like the Nikon Z8.

In the photographic core specification comparison, the best part is the Nikon Z8 camera with its 45-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. Along with that, the Nikon Z8 also features, AI Autofocus modes directly come from the Nikon Z9. The best part is in continuous shooting mode, Even at the full 45-megapixel resolution, you can capture 30 frames per second without any issues.
Leica is more of a bit retro and classical type camera, and it is limited to a traditional 24-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor that we have seen in the Panasonic S5 II. Although the number of autofocus points is much lower compared to the Nikon Z8, it doesn’t feature any AI autofocus tracking hardware that we have in the Z8. But again, if you are a Leica user, then you may prefer having a Leica camera, as Leica’s color science is quite different from Nikon’s.
If you compare the core specifications, without a doubt, the Nikon Z8 is a clear winner in the competition.

Which camera is better for professional photography use, the Nikon Z8 or the Leica SL3 S?
It’s very clear from the beginning of the comparison table that the Nikon Z8 camera is able to capture 8K videos and offers 4K video recording up to 120 frames per second. So, technically, the Nikon Z8 is quite a bit more advanced. At the same time, the Z8 camera also offers the ability to record high-quality 12-bit internal RAW video. Due to its nature and the very angle display screen, you can also create content with the camera if you like to follow platforms like YouTube.
Does the Leica SL3 S camera offer better video features compared to the Nikon Z8?
The Leica SL3 S camera does have a limited set of videography specifications and features, such as a tilting display screen on the back. However, if you have specific videography needs, the Nikon Z8 is superior.
Which camera offers more value for the price, the Nikon Z8 or the Leica SL3 S?
Among the two, as per the set of core specifications, the Nikon Z8 looks very promising and is more advanced compared to the Leica SL3 S for the price you’re paying. But if you are a Leica enthusiast and would love to buy a Leica camera, then you can still go with the Leica SL3 S if you wish to.
