Yesterday, Nikon announced two different lenses. One is the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 and the other is the Nikkor Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR. The main attraction right now is Nikon’s open Lens Mount policy and they are now releasing a series of lenses at the available price range. Now, why I am talking about an open lens mount? Since one of the lenses among the two is made by Nikon itself and the other (70-180 F2.8) is re-branded as NIKKOR Lens but it’s actually made by Tamron.
Nikon’s Latest Lenses announcement.
The latest edition is the Tamron branded 70-180mm lens. The most attractive thing about this lens is its price: a 70-200mm f/2.8, which is near impossible for any camera brand to offer. Another thing that surprised me, even more than its price, is the use of a stepper motor. Generally, Tamron uses a linear actuator motor in their 70-180mm lens. Stepper motors are generally considered to be more accurate than actuator motors, but you have to compensate with speed.
Nikon Z 70-180mm f/2.8 Lens (Nikon Z)
- Full-Frame Lens | f/2.8 to f/22
- Fast Telephoto Zoom
- STM Autofocus Stepping Motor
- Internal Focusing Design
- One Super ED and Five ED Glass Elements

The Other lens in the set is the Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens (Nikon Z), its covers a vast range of 600mm but has variable aperture. Being a Nikkor homemade Lens, I have high hopes for the lens and its sharpness and overall performance.
Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens Majo Features
- Full-Frame | f/5.6-6.3 to f/32-36

Sony’s ZV Series: The Camera Line That’s Dominating Sales – The Sony ZV series accounts for 48.4% of total sales.
This is surprising news for all camera manufacturers, as it demonstrates the growth of the content creator consumer base. Sony currently has only three cameras in their ZV series (ZV1, ZV-E10, ZV-E1), with the Sony Z1 being the most recent addition. The most popular camera among these three is the Sony ZV-E10. Just imagine the number of units sold for the Sony ZV-E10 camera, as it contributes almost 50% of Sony’s total camera sales.
This is great news for camera manufacturers, but not so great for photographers.
Seeing this trend, camera manufacturers may shift their focus toward creating more content-creator-friendly cameras instead of focusing on professional photographers. After all, they are in business to make a profit and will follow the path that leads to the most profit.

So the big question is: Canon R1 or Canon R5 Mark 2 camera – which camera will arrive early?
First, let’s discuss the available set of technology that Canon has right now. The Canon R5 has a 45-megapixel front-side illuminated dual pixel CMOS sensor. It is one of the highest resolution sensors known to us being used inside a Canon camera body. Unfortunately, the sensor is an FSI sensor, not a BSI.
The 24-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor of the Canon R3 professional flagship full-frame mirrorless camera is the most advanced sensor we have seen to date inside a Canon that uses stacked CMOS sensor technology.
If you look at the rumors in the past, it has been said that the upcoming Canon R1 camera may have a hybrid sensor that uses the resolution of the Canon R5 and the technology of the Canon R3 camera sensor.
So why is Canon so late? Nikon and Sony both announced their flagship cameras back in 2021. Nikon announced their Z9 and Sony announced their Sony Alpha A1 professional full-frame camera.
Now in 2023, we have the Nikon Z8 camera which features almost the same core specification as the Nikon Z9 at an affordable price tag. Similarly, Sony is preparing to announce the Sony A93 camera which will inherit almost the same core specification that we have seen in the Sony Alpha A1 flagship camera.
Now the big question arises: will Canon put its 45-megapixel CMOS sensor inside an R5 Mark 2 camera body and prepare to compete against the upcoming Sony A93 or the existing Nikon Z8 camera?
The second option for Canon is that they will move at their own pace and announce the Canon R1 camera before the 2024 Olympics. After a year of announcing the Canon R1, sometime in late 2025, we may have a Canon R5 Mark 2 camera with almost similar core specifications that we have seen in Canon R1.
The major issue among all these things is Canon’s slow speed of development and announcement of cameras. They are not able to compete against market competitors Nikon and Sony. They are very late with their products, specifically their full-frame flagship cameras. Since they are late, they are lagging behind in competition and losing their consumer base who are attracted towards Sony and specifically Nikon for their products like Nikon Z8.
Based on the technical limits that we have discussed earlier and Canon’s development speed, we may expect the arrival of a Canon R1 camera with a redesigned and redeveloped 45-megapixel full-frame stacked CMOS sensor with dual DIGIC X image processors before the Olympics. Even if they wish to update the R5 Mark 2 camera between now and the Olympics, they may put subtle upgrades just to fill the gap with a new camera body.
So, at the end before we wrap up this article, it looks more reasonable to have a Canon R5 Mark II camera at the end of 2023, with a stacked CMOS sensor. And Canon R1 as expected will officially arrive sometime in Feb/March 2024.
Canon R5 Mark II Expected Core Specs
- 45MP Full-Frame Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, Eye Control AF
- Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
- 40 fps E. Shutter, 12 fps Mech. Shutter
- 8K 60 Raw and 4K120 10-Bit Internal Video
- 2″ 4.2m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
- 76m-Dot EVF with 120 fps Refresh Rate
- Wired LAN and 5 GHz Wi-Fi Support
- Multi-Function Shoe, Built-In Vert. Grip
These are the possible set of core specifications that we are expecting from the upcoming Canon R5 camera.

Okay, let’s do a specification comparison between the Fuji X-S20 camera and the Sony A6700 camera. We know that the Sony A6700 camera is rumored to be coming on July 12th along with a new 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. Once the camera arrives, we will update the specifications with as many details as possible, but for now let’s do it with the set of information available to us.
| Feature |
Sony A6700 |
Fuji X-S20 |
| Sensor |
26.1MP APS-C BSI CMOS |
26.1MP X-Trans IV (APS-C) |
| Processor |
BIONZ XR with AI |
X-Processor V |
| Autofocus |
AI real-time tracking |
On-sensor phase detection |
| Video |
UHD 4K up to 60p (no crop) |
Up to 6K30P 4:2:2 10-bit internal, 4K60P, 1080HD240P |
| Image Stabilization |
5-axis |
5-axis in-body; 7-stops |
| Viewfinder |
Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF with 3.69 million dots |
2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder |
| In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) |
7 stops effect |
Yes / 7 Stops |
| AI Processor |
Same as ZV-E1 |
N/A |
| ISO Range (Standard Output) |
ISO 100-32,000 (Dual Base ISO: 800/2,500) |
ISO160-12800 (Extended Output: ISO80/100/125/25600/51200) |
So with the set of the available basic information we have related to the Sony A6700 camera, we are going to compare it to the Fuji X-S20 camera in a specification comparison table
You can clearly see that the Fuji X-S20 camera’s video recording capabilities include 6K recording up to 30 frames per second and 5.2K video recording in 16:9 format which surpasses the video specs of the A6700 camera.
The biggest advantage we will have in the upcoming Sony A6700 camera is the dedicated AI chip that we have seen inside the Sony ZV-E1 full-frame mirrorless camera that was announced a while ago. With the help of new AI chips, we will see a very enhanced autofocus mechanism inside this camera. Other than that, we have a higher resolution 3.69 million dots electronic viewfinder from Sony.
Although we are not able to grab all the details of the burst speed of the camera, we are expecting that it will remain limited to 10 frames per second since higher-end Sony models like the Sony A7 IV and Sony A7R V are also limited to this speed.
All these are the initial set of specs available to us that we have compared in the table above. We do expect and hope that the camera will arrive with an enhanced set of cool specifications and an affordable price tag to truly compete against the X-S20 camera. If it fails to have an affordable price tag or the video specs that we have seen in the X-S20 camera right now, then for sure Sony will lose a big marketplace.
