The Leica S3 medium format camera has been discontinued by Leica. The announcement was made by Map Camera on Twitter that the production of the S3 has officially ended.
The Leica S3 camera was announced back on March 6, 2020. The S3 Camera used a 64-megapixel medium format sensor with a Maestro II image processor and was able to record DCI 4K and full HD video internally. Although the camera was based on a DSLR design, it featured an optical pentaprism viewfinder.
According to the latest rumors, Leica will announce its new medium format series camera, but not so soon. For that, we have to wait until for year or two. So, in 2025 or maybe in 2024, Leica may introduce a new range of medium format mirrorless cameras in the market with Sony’s latest medium format sensors.
Here is the first set of images of the Sony a6700 camera. In the image, you can see the below shutter we have the Mode dial. And above it, there is a dedicated recording button and a custom function button [C2]. After that, you can see three microphone openings and a tally light is also visible in the frame.
In this image, the Alpha 6700 logo is clearly visible. We will have more detailed images and full specifications of the upcoming Sony a6700 camera soon. Stay tuned.

According to the latest rumors we have from the rumor mill, Panasonic is about to announce the successor of the Panasonic G9 camera, which was announced back on November 2017, so it’s almost 5+ years finally we are having an update from Panny.
The Panasonic G9 was Panasonic’s flagship Micro Four Thirds camera. At the time of its announcement in 2017, the camera had a maximum burst speed of 20 frames per second with continuous autofocus and a maximum shooting speed of up to 60 frames per second. Additionally, its image stabilization was effective up to 6.5 stops and it also included Dual IS 2.0 technology. The G9 was capable of shooting uncropped 4K video at 60fps and also had an 80-megapixel high-resolution handheld mode. These specs were for the Panasonic G9 flagship Micro Four-Thirds format camera, which was announced back in 2017.
If Panasonic is planning to announce the G9 II in 2023, then you can imagine the set of improvements we will have in the G9 Mark II camera body.
Panasonic representatives have stated several times during interviews that the S5 Mark II camera sensor technology will not be limited to full-frame sensors only; they will also use the same hybrid AF technology for their Micro Four Thirds format cameras.
So, we are expecting a massive upgrade in the autofocus performance of the upcoming Panasonic G9 Mark II camera.
Finally, we are getting more confirmation of the specs that we published back on April 26, 2023. The biggest surprise in this announcement is that the camera is now able to record 6K at 30 frames per second and also has the ability to record 4K at up to 120 frames per second.

The improvements in the video capabilities are specifically due to the presence of the Fuji X-S20 (Fresh stock coming from July end at B&H Store), which was announced in May 2023. So, they have enhanced the video core specs of the upcoming camera to make it future-proof and also to be the best in its class.
The rumor mill (SAR.com) got confirmation from a leaked presentation slide, as shown above. The camera is expected to arrive this month on the 12th and we are waiting for its first leaked images and detailed set of core specifications. As soon as they become available to us, we will publish them. Stay tuned for future updates.
According to the latest rumors exclusively obtained by TNC, there is another ZV series camera in the announcement pipeline, featuring a 26MP sensor and scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2024. Sony ZV-E100 or FX-10: Sony’s NEXT 26Mp APS-C Camera Coming
According to the latest rumors from the ordinary filmmaker youtube channel, the Canon R5 Mark II camera is already in the hands of selected photographers and is expected to arrive in Q4 of 2023. So, the Canon R5 Mark II camera will be announced before the Canon R1 flagship camera, which is scheduled to come before the Olympics of 2024.
We have one more camera in the announcement pipeline other than Sony A6700, but at the moment we don’t know if it will be called the Sony ZV-E100 or FX 10. However, but for sure not only is Sony A6700 getting Sony’s 26MP sensor, we do have one more active camera which is said to arrive one or before Q1 of 2024.

Body design similar to ZV-E10 (Compact Made for Vlogger)
Announcement Timeline – Feb-March 2024
The camera will feature the same 26-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor that we have seen inside the Sony A6700 camera and Sony FX30. The camera’s top resolution is 4K at 60 frames per second, and full HD recording is available at 240 frames per second.
The camera has a very compact body design without an electronic viewfinder and a thin hand grip, which looks more similar to Sony’s ZV-E10 camera rather than the Sony A6700. The camera also has the latest AI processor being used inside the A6700 camera.
Electronic image stabilization for video is enhanced, and mechanical image stabilization for photos and video is available. It’s a trimmed-down version of the Sony A6700 camera made for content creators.

As you know Nikon Z8 is impressive and features almost the same core specification we have in Nikon Z9.
Nikon’s latest mirrorless camera is equipped with the same stacked 45-megapixel image sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the Z9. It supports high-speed continuous shooting at 20fps RAW, despite the fact that it has almost the same core specs as the Nikon Z9.
The overall Dynamic Range Test results of the Sony A7R V, as well as Canon R5, are also very impressive.
