Panasonic S5 Mark II Latest Rumors

Panasonic s5 mark ii creative image

According to the latest rumors surfaced via Camera Beta weibo ( Chinese social media page name), take a look at the part of the translated text

Recently, the news of Panasonic’s new camera “LUMIX S5 Mark II” has begun to spread. And we just got some new information. The S5 series seems to go with two lines, and the Mark II that appears this time is positioned and priced higher than the current model, and may be a high-end route (replacing the S1).

The update of the LUMIX S1, which has been out for some time, should be the top priority, and according to the information, it is scheduled to be released in Q3 2023.

the latest rumors Panasonic S5 Mark II Camera will arrive in Q3 of 2023. The New camera will carry a higher price tag than the existing Panasonic S5 [B&H Store | Amazon] , OR WE CAN ALSO SAY the upcoming camera will have a price similar to Panasonic S1 (or Sony A7 IV or Canon R6 Mark II). It looks logical and is not a surprise, yes we can expect a higher price tag if Panasonic S5 Mark II carries a Hybrid Sensor and class-leading video core specs.

We will post an update soon if we get more information about this

Canon Upcoming Cameras 2023

Take a look at the list of Canon Cameras and lenses expected to arrive in the year 2023.  Keep in mind these list are coming out from rumor mills

1. Canon EOS R1

Canon EOS R1 isn’t a rumor actually, Canon has confirmed several times in interviews they are working on a flagship mirrorless camera. Earlier we expected that camera to arrive at the end of 2022, but its looks like the announcement are being delayed this time.

This is the set of most authentic information(s) we have related to the Canon EOS R1

45+ megapixels, 8K video recording at various framerates

and one more rumored specs

Met a fellow photographer today who “was” a Canon Explorer” and he just got back from Japan.

His exact words were, “I spoke to a friend of mine at Canon while I was in Japan and the R1 is shooting for 85MP at 24fps in RAW with over 15 stops of dynamic range,”.

Now we wait and see….. If he’s right or should I say his friend is right… That is exactly double the resolution of the 1DXMKIII and 40% more than the NIkon Z9.

As usual, a camera maker tests several prototypes before the final announcement of any flagship camera. These two sets of specs are the knowledge to us, let’s wait for further confirmation about the same

2. Canon R5 mark II

Canon R5 mark II camera expected to arrive before Q3 of 2023. The camera is rumored to feature a new 61 MP Fullframe BSI CMOS sensor developed by Canon. R5 Mark II camera also has the capability to record 8K Oversampled video up to 60FPS. With an advanced, heat sink unit the camera is able to record videos up to 4K 60p up to 60min without overheating and u can also record 4k videos @ 120fps. Take a look at the rumored specification of the upcoming Canon R5 Mark II camera.

  • New 61MP CMOS BSI sensor
  • Dual DIGIC X processor
  • 30 FPS electronic shutter with tracking / 12 FPS mechanical shutter
  • Same 8-stop IBIS
  • A New High-Resolution mode
  • 2x/4x/8x digital tele-convertor
  • Same Dual Pixel CMOS AF II from EOS R3 and EOS R6 Mark II

The shipping of the camera is rumored to begin in September 2023. if everything goes on schedule inside Canon.

3. Canon R50

UPDATE: Canon R50 is now announced by Canon – See All Related posts here

The Canon R50 is said to be the true sensor of the Canon M50 Mark II and 200D Mark II cameras. As per the initial set of specifications we have the Canon R50 is actually a budget Canon R10 camera with a compact body similar to Sony ZV-E10 or Nikon Z30.

Canon EOS R100 Rumored specification

  • 24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor (Same as Canon R10) (Confirmed)
  • 4k 24, 30fps (Limited to 8 bit) (Confirmed)
  • No HDRPQ mode like Canon R10
  • 14 FPS burst mode (un-Confirmed)
  • 3.0″ 1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen (Confirmed)
  • Coming in Q1-Q2 2023

The initial set of rumors suggests Canon R10 will share the same 24MP Sensor as the Canon R50 Camera. But, we will have limitations in Video frame rates (No 4k 60fps) and limited burst Mode.

The camera is expected to arrive sometime in Q1 or Q2 of 2023.

Canon C700 front

4. Canon R7C

Canon R7C or Canon C7 ? – a compact cinema mirrorless camera with RF Mount and APS-C CMOS Sensor ? is a cheaper alternative to the Canon C70 and an FX30 perfect competitor ?, rumors start drooling out more and more after the announcement of the Sony FX30 camera.

So, we do have a high possibility, that we may have a Canon compact cinema camera like an FX30 camera, with a 32.5MP Dual gain Sensor including BNC Timecode and Mini-XLR Audio Inputs.

We do expect its announcement Q3/Q4 of 2023. Stay tuned we will publish more updates soon as it become available to us.

 

5. Canon EOS R Mark II or Canon R8

UPDATE Canon R8 Announced by Canon – See all Updates Related to Canon R8 Here

The Canon EOS R Mark II or Canon R8 ? the name of the camera isn’t confirmed yet, but both Canon R8 and R9 are reserved for Canon upcoming cameras and we do expect the EOS R Mark II will have an R8 Name.

Canon EOS R successor is yet to arrive with a redesigned 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS DPAF 2 Sensor with updated processing for more improved AF, and impressive uncropped 4K videos.

More Rumored specs of Canon R8 / Canon EOS R Mark II

  • NEW 24 MP Sensor

  • Dual UHS-II Memory Card Slots

The Camera will arrive in the summer of 2023 if everything goes on schedule inside Canon.

6. Canon R5S

A very Less and unreliable set of information is available about the Canon R5S. Most likely the rumor is false.

7. Canon EOS Rp or Canon R9 Camera

Rumor mills are completely silent about the Canon Rp update, so as soon as we will get any information related to the Canon Rp update we will update here too.

8. Canon G7X Mark IV or something else…?

We have been told Canon will announce 1 compact camera next year, either we will have a Canon G7X Mark IV or a Canon G1X Mark IV. The camera will be more vloggers-centric with some sort of surprise inside it. That’s all information available about Canon compacts right now

Fuji X-T5 vs Fuji X-H2S

The two cameras feature the latest X-Processor 5 engine and an APS-C sensor, but the specs of each are quite different from each other.

First, the X-H2 has 40.2MP, whereas the X-H2S has 26.1MP.

Finally, we have a Fuji X-T5 (XT series flagship camera) that uses the highest resolution sensor ever used in an APS-C Camera. Not only is it High resolution the sensor is made on BSI tech so you will also get a decent low-light performance from this sensor. The BEST part is, right now the X-T5 is the most affordable Fuji Camera to have a NEW 40MP BSI CMOS X-Trans APS-C sensor.

Now, the Fuji X-H2s is Fuji’s First model to feature a newly developed 26MP X-Trans STACKED sensor that is 3.6x faster than the single-layered BSI design in the X-T3 and 4. Now with the adoption of a Stacked CMOS sensor technology, the camera enjoys a significant speed boost sensor readout speed. The Major advantage we are getting in still part after having the new 26 MP Stacked CMOS sensor is it allows the camera to capture full-resolution images at up to 40 frames per second with full-time AF/AF support as well as you can capture 4K videos @ 120FPS.

Both of them use the new X-Processor PRO and the new X-Processor 5 is 65% faster than the previous generation of processors.

Fuji X-T5 a Best Budget 40MP Camera?

The Fuji X-T5 camera is the best budget camera with Fuji’s new 40MP sensor if ur limited to Wedding photography and fashion when you don’t need that much buffer and video. Then undoubtedly the best camera under budget is 40mp.

Faster sensor readout speed and Less resolution for better AF tracking

Fuji X-T5 uses a 40Mp non-stacked CMOS sensor, so sensor readout speed will be slow due to the absence of technology and also due to the higher resolution. So, if we talk about AF tracking and sensitivity despite having the same X-processor PRO inside them or maybe the same AI AF algorithms inside them, the Fuji X-H2s camera will do better object tracking compared to X-T5.

Fuji X-H2s Best Camera for wildlife and Sports Photography

AF speed may take a hit because the X-H2 can’t read out its sensor as fast as the ‘S’ model, though AF information usually comes from a faster, low-resolution readout, also the absence of Stacked tech.

Now, we have great news for those who love to do sports and wildlife, the camera is able to shoot up to 40FPS @ 26 MP [full resolution], yes we are talking about the Fuji X-H2s camera and not about the Fuji X-T5 with limited 15 FPS of burst mode and very limited buffer memory of  119 Jpeg.

Fuji X-H2s Buffer Memory Size

The Fuji X-H2s with the camera is able to shoot 184 JPEGs or 175 Raws at 40 fps and over 1000 JPEGs in 30fps or 15 fps modes, and 400 Raws at that lower speed.

No option to add an external fan to the new Fuji X-T5 camera

Best Cinema Camera the Fuji X-H2s

Why is Fuji X-H2s Considered to be a better cinema or video camera when both X-T5 and Z-H2S record MAX videos Res of 6.2K?

. The X-H2S can shoot 6.2K or 4K at up to 30p from 14-bit readout in its F-Log2 mode, the X-H2S uses an entire 26 MP sensor and u don’t have to face any crop till 4k 60fps mode. Additionally, the Fuji X-H2 supports external Fan input, so whenever you need an extra cooling mechanism for your camera you can use the external cooling fan.

In Fuji X-T5 we use a slower sensor that in turn will generate more heat and no option to cool down the camera, we don’t have any option to use an external fan with X-T5. Other than that if we talk about the video core specs, then the Fuji X-T5 camera does 4k, 24 & 30 fps oversampled readout with 1.22 x crop, and the camera uses pixel binning or line skipping algorithm while recording 4k 60fps.

In addition to internal H.264, H.265, and ProRes (422 HQ, 422 or 422 LT) capture, the X-H2S via its HDMI port can output a 6.2K or 4.8K Raw which can be further encoded as ProRes RAW by the Atomos Ninja V+ recorder or BRaw using a Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR.

Dual-Base ISO in Fuji X-H2s: We have high-gain and low-gain ISO circuits active while shooting a Flog2, with the help of Dual base ISO we will get more cleaner output compared to the conventional way of capturing videos.

The camera’s full-sized HDMI port conforms to v2.1 of the standard, meaning it can also output 4K/120p video in up to 10-bit 4:2:2.

Fuji X-T5 Press Release

N.Y., Nov. 02, 2022– FUJIFILM North America Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the FUJIFILM X-T5 digital camera (X-T5), the latest addition to Fujifilm’s innovative line of X Series, X-T mirrorless digital cameras. Fujifilm brings its fifth-generation imaging sensor and processing technology to X-T5 in a camera body that is more compact than each of its previous three X-T system camera models1.

X-T5 is the latest X Series camera to feature Fujifilm’s new, powerful back-illuminated 40.2MP X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR imaging sensor and high-speed image processing engine, X-Processor 5. It also provides up to 7.0 Stops2 of 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and features a 3.69-million-dot EVF viewfinder with 0.8x magnification, and dual SD-card slots, delivering the highest image quality and resolving performance in the history of the X Series.

“X-T5 combines all the fan favorites in one body. This system offers IBIS in a compact and lightweight body – designed for portability which is at the core of our X-T system. We’re also reintroducing the 3-way tilt screen to create stills and video from any position,” said Masato Yamamoto, general manager, Imaging Solutions Division, FUJIFILM Corporation. “At Fujifilm, we continue to push the boundaries of camera technology with each new camera release. X-T5 is no exception – offering fantastic all-round performance for both stills and video.”

Features of X-T5 include:

Image quality and resolving performance

  • The new 40.2MP back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 5 HR Imaging Sensor, with a state-of-the-art image processing algorithm, delivers advanced image resolution without compromising the signal to noise (S/N) ratio. This image processing algorithm delivers outstanding results, packed with detail across the native ISO range, which with X-T5 extends to ISO 125. Additionally, the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot feature allows photographers to make 160MP, super high-resolution images, while Subject Detection autofocus (AF) – capable of detecting animals, birds and a variety of other common subjects– combined with the auto white balance, will assist photographers of all levels with producing superb, high-quality images.
  • X-T5 offers 19 Film Simulation modes, including “Nostalgic Neg.,” characterized by high saturation and soft tonality. Creators can use Film Simulation presets, which mimic photographic film, for various subject types and scenes. X-T5 supports the HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image quality in files up to 30% smaller than standard JPEGs.

Hardware, design and operability that provides powerful support to users’ content creation

  • X-T5’s in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system, works in five axes, combats all types of camera movement, and provides up to seven stops of compensation which can continuously freeze 20 frames in a single click of the shutter. The dedicated software “Pixel Shift Combiner” processes the captured frames to generate an image containing some 160 million pixels.
  • A maximum electronic shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec is also now available for photographers wishing to freeze subjects moving at high speeds. The 1.84-million-dot, three-way tilting LCD makes it easy for users to create in vertical position or at waist level.
  • The new sensor offers a high number of phase detection pixels for impressive AF-S focus on a high-frequency subject, providing accurate autofocusing in situations such as landscape photography and portraiture. Also, the AF prediction algorithm offers stable focusing in AF-C mode.
  • Equipped with a high-magnification, 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification, the viewfinder delivers optimal suppression of parallax and distortion which typically occur when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder.
  • The classic X Series design has been retained with dials for ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation – quick and easy to set, even with the camera switched off. Weighing just 1.23 lbs. (557g) 3, X-T5 is 50g lighter than the prior FUJIFILM X-T4 digital camera model and is perfect for a wide variety of photographic genres from street / documentary photography, where mobility is a requirement, to landscape photography and portraiture, which require particularly high resolution. Portability coupled with the camera’s weather-resistant structure allow users to take X-T5 into nearly any weather conditions.

Featuring extended video functions

  • Offering powerful video functionality, movies can be recorded internally at up to 6.2K/30p in 4:2:2 10-bit color. In addition, the 4K HQ mode oversamples 6.2K footage for superior 4K output. X-T5 supports F-Log2, which records an expansive dynamic range of 13+ stops—a range wider than that provided by current F-Log– for extremely broad post-production potential.
  • When combined with an ATOMOS HDMI device, the RAW video output from X-T5 can be recorded as 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW at frame sizes up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97fps. And when combined with Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12Gs, the RAW video output from the X-T5 can be recorded as Blackmagic RAW at frame sizes up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97fps.

Optional accessories

  • MHG-XT5 hand grip (specifically designed for X-T5): This grip facilitates the users’ ability to hand-hold the camera when a large-aperture lens is mounted. The hand grip does not have to be removed to change a battery or SD card. In addition, the MHG-XT5 grip can be used as a plate compatible with the Arca-Swiss quick release system.

Pricing and Availability

X-T5 will be available in black and silver colors and is expected to be available in late November, at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1699.95 Body Only ($2,299.99 CDN). X-T5 digital camera with lens kits featuring FUJINON XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS and FUJINON XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR will also be available at a manufacturer’s suggested retail pricing of $2099.95 ($2839.99 CDN) and $2199.95 ($2,969.99 CDN) respectively.

Canon R6 Mark II Press Release


The Canon R6 Mark II Camera announced by Canon with the same sensor as we have seen in the Canon EOS R3 camera and the image processor is also the same, so those who were not able to buy the Canon EOS R3 camera due to its high price, they can have the R6 Mark II. Or it’s better to say finally we have a budget Canon EOS R3 Model in front of us.

The Canon R6 Mark II features 4779 selectable AF points, the AF point further divided into AF Zones to make the user selection process easy. Using the same deep-learning AI technology we applied to the EOS R5, R6, and Canon EOS R3, the Canon EOS R6 AF performance is of the next level. The camera recognizes people, animals, and now motorsport vehicles. Hundreds of thousands of images from different photographers and agencies have been used to teach the camera exactly what the real world looks like – and how it moves. Subject tracking is now supported for all AF area settings.

The Camera records oversampled high-quality 4K 60FPS video, and with an advanced heat sink unit, the camera never disappoints you despite the adverse weather conditions you have. Professional content creators or Cinematographers can also enjoy the in-built 7.5 Stops of IBIS and when paired with Lenses like 24mm IS STM and 35mm IS STM, you will get a total IS of 8 Stops.

Canon R6 is a perfect camera for sports, landscape, wedding photographers, cinematographers, and content creators.

Fuji X-T5 vs Fuji X-H2

Both of the Fuji Cameras feature the latest X-Processor 5 engine and a 5th-gen 40MP X-Trans BSI APS-C sensor, despite having the same sensor and image processor we do have some differences in the core specs of both cameras.

Camera FUJI X-T5 FUJI X-H2

The Autofocus specification of both cameras is exactly similar to each other since we have the same sensor and image processor here. So, more or less the image quality of the camera and the AF performance of both are expected to remain the same.

The difference in BASE ISO Range

So, with such a little difference in the base ISO range, we don’t expect much difference in the performance of both cameras. Yes, under LAB TEST results we may see some difference in DR due to the minor difference we have in the base ISO range, but in real-world usage, we won’t be able to spot any difference.

Buffer Limitation

Fuji X-T5 is able to save only 119 Jpeg in single bursts whereas the Fuji X-H2 camera is able to save up to 1000+ Jpeg in a single burst. CF CFexpress Type B also missing in the new X-T5.

Video Limitations of X-T5

The high resolution on the sensor allows the X-H2 to record 8K up to 30p (RAW  available). You can also select 6.2K video up to 30p. In 4K, you can work up to 30p with oversampling from 8K, or up to 60p with sub-sampling. In Full HD, the frame rate goes up to 240p with the High-Speed mode. With the Fuji X-T5 camera, you can record Full HD Videos up to 240fps but the MAX Video resolution available here is 6.2K video up to 30p. Undoubtedly the X-H2 is a better video camera with more features compared to X-T5.

No External Fan Support in Fuji X-T5 Camera

If you live in a western country then it’s ok, but in Asian countries where the temp goes really high in the summer season, X-T5 is left with no option to add an external fan to the camera due to the introduction of a tilting screen.

The ports of the camera and display screen are more or less likely to be the same.

yes, u will have a very minimal difference in battery life.  X-H2 Features a 720-shot battery life and X-T5 features a 740-shot battery life in ECO mode.

Conclusion: Which camera should you buy Fuji X-H2 or Fuji X-T5

Core specification wise we have very little difference between them and so on the price tag. If spending $200 extra on a camera body isn’t an issue for you, than its better to buy the Fuji X-H2 camera. Since u will get a slightly better base ISO range, Better EVF, and 8K video recording capability.
