So, finally, Canon has discontinued its G1X Mark 3 camera. What can we expect next from Canon? Will they release a new G1X Mark 4 camera or, by looking at the current trend, will they release a new V series camera for their consumer base? Let’s hope for the best

The G1X Mark III camera was announced back in 2017. It used a 24 DPAF sensor of Canon 200D Mark II and Canon M50 II and Digic 8 image processor. Compared to the Mark 2 camera, which used a 1.5-inch sensor, the Mark 3 used an APS-C sensor. Despite this fact, the size of the Mark 3 was smaller than the Mark 2.
Canon’s Next Move: G1X Mark 4 or V Series?
Now again, we have high hopes after the discontinuation of the G1 X Mark 3 camera. The production lines are clear and the stockpiles are almost clear, so we expect a camera’s arrival under the V series. So, the big question next camera from Canon coming under the V range is APS-C Compact or a Mirrorless camera. Let’s hope for the best and see what arrives next.
Sony registered a new camera at a wireless certification agency. The new camera model code is WW499972 2.4GHz/5.1GHz. Now, according to the latest rumors, the recent registration of model code “WW499972” is expected to be for the Sony A7C Mark II
So, now we have two different cameras in Sony’s announcement pipeline.
The first one was registered in March with the model code WW542541 2.4GHz/5.1GHz. Said to be Sony A6700 arriving on July 12th
The second camera was registered yesterday (25th June) with the model code WW499972 2.4GHz/5.1GHz.
Take a look at the rumored set of specifications for the Sony a6700 camera
We are expecting the Sony A7C Mark II to have a sensor upgrade from the A7C. So this time we are expecting a 33-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor from the Sony A7 IV camera to be present inside the upcoming Sony A7C Mark II.
Now you can use your Sony lenses directly on Nikon Z Mount-based mirrorless cameras with the help of the new Fotodiox autofocus adapter. The lens adapter works almost perfectly for taking still pictures and you can control the aperture of the lens electronically too. The autofocus is perfectly reliable for still shooting.
However, if you’re into video, then it is probably not recommended to get into this mess. After looking at the results of its tests, I have concluded that it doesn’t work perfectly for videos. Specifically, if you have third-party lenses, then you will feel synchronization issues there several times while doing autofocus for video.
Sony Alpha E-Mount Lenses to Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Cameras; infinity focus or beyond guaranteed
Built-in FUSION technology enables electronic communication and control between lens and camera
Restores automated functions on most lenses such as auto-focus, aperture control, image stabilization and more with compatible lenses
Precise fit and solid all-metal construction with chrome plated brass mounts for secure and solid fit; lens has no play, gap or wiggling when mounted on adapter and no adjustments required
Limited 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty
So the adapter is good for still shooters but not for video.

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.
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.
According to the latest rumors surfacing on the web, Canon is about to expand its V series of Vlogging cameras.

Based on initial hands-on reports, the camera is expected to arrive at the end of 2023 or at the beginning of 2024.
