Thank you for using Sigma products.
We would like to inform you that the SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary firmware for FUJIFILM X mount has been updated.
The changes in this firmware are as follows.
[Applicable product]
・SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary for FUJIFILM X mount
[Details of the update]
・Improved the phenomenon of unstable exposure during viewfinder shooting and live view shooting.
・We have improved the accuracy of parallax correction when using an optical viewfinder (OVF) with a camera equipped with a hybrid viewfinder.
・Improved operational stability during AF operation.
Youngnuo officially announced an 85mm lens for Canon RF Mount. The lens features STM AF motor and the lens also does AF very well. Now we all very well know Canon RF Mount is locked and Canon recently ditched Viltrox 85mm F1.8 AF Lens by sending some goof msgs to the Lens makers.
So, now we can have two types of situations here
Situation #1: Canon and viltrox are now in collaboration with each other, youngnuo paid the license fee. And now more youngnuo lenses for RF Mount are on they way.
Situation #2 : Youngnuo doesn’t care about Canon’s policy.
Youngnuo Smart Move can be followed by the Viltrox, provided nothing happens to it
In both of the situations we have discussed the second one is true, Youngnuo doesn’t care about Canon rules and regulations for RF Mount. At the same time to save themselves legally they are not using a single Canon word in their Lens announcement or packaging
compatible with other than Sony E / Leica L / Nikon Z”. It seems that sales in China have started at 2,599 yuan ($380).
As you can see clearly youngnuo is avoiding Canon’s name,and yes if they are not using it Canon has nothing much to do legally. But, yes they can block Lenses AF/AE operations via firmware updates in the future.

Stay tuned we will post all the updates related to the Sony ZV-E1 camera.
According to recent news coming straight out from dpreview website, the website will go down. take a look at the key points
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview has decided to shut down in the near future. The difficult decision was made as part of a review of the annual operating plan announced by the parent company earlier this year.
DPReview’s site will be live until April 10th, and our editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to bringing you the best content ever. Thank you for your support over the years.
After April 10th, 2023 the site will be locked and will no longer be updated. After that, it will be available in read-only mode for a period of time.
You can download all the photos and texts you have uploaded to the site. Downloads will be available until April 6, after which requests will no longer be available.
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.
The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content.
Everyone on our staff was a reader and fan of DPReview before working here, and we’re grateful for the communities that formed around the site.
Thank you for your support over the years, and we hope you’ll join us in the coming weeks as we celebrate this journey.

Just after reading the news, I felt like is it the 1st of April. Or they have accidentally released the 1st April post on March 22 ? I was not able to believe what I was reading at the moment. Soon after that, I started to check out other websites, dpreview youtube channels.
If Amazon runs out of money, they should ask us for crowdfunding? I am 100% sure that we never let our fav website down like this. I feel more associated with dpreview since I am reading it from my college days, and that’s really hard to believe it will end up like this.
In the end, I am really happy with Chris and Jordan they now teamed up with Petapixel to continue the quality reviews we were getting from them.
We have published several updates related to Panasonic’s Organic sensor development in the past, but now Panasonic today issued a new press release that reports Panasonic has made a groundbreaking development in organic CMOS image sensors. This new technology allows for accurate color reproduction by using the high light absorption rate of the organic film to thin the photoelectric conversion layer, which reduces color mixing.
The organic film used for photoelectric conversion is entirely separate from the circuit responsible for storing and reading electric charge. This unique layered structure reduces the sensitivity of each pixel in the green, red, and blue wavelength regions outside the target range, resulting in exceptional spectral characteristics with low color mixing. As a result, this technology can deliver precise color reproduction, regardless of the light source.
How this New Technology Works
Photoelectric conversion film thinning technology – The new organic thin film can absorb up to 10 times more light than traditional silicon photodiodes. This means the organic film can be made thinner and still absorb the same amount of light, which reduces color mixing from light hitting neighboring pixels at an angle.
Electrical pixel isolation technology – Helps to remove unwanted charges at the edges of pixels. This helps to suppress the signal charge from the neighboring pixels.
Light transmission suppression structure – To prevent light from passing through the photoelectric layer, the lower portion of the organic thin film has a pixel electrode and a charge-discharging electrode covering it. This helps to stop light that the organic thin film can’t absorb. Red light is especially prone to causing color mixing, but this method significantly reduces its transmission.
Panasonic’s organic CMOS sensor, whose progress is going in a slow speed, still waiting to get introduced commercially. With the technology developed this time, it is possible to achieve good color reproduction under all light sources, so if it is adopted for digital camera sensors (M4/3 / APS-C / FF), it seems that color reproduction under artificial light sources will be dramatically improved.
Finally, a new image of the Sony ZV-E1 camera has been leaked, and it’s more clear than the previously leaked image. showcasing its sleek design and some of its controls on the extreme right side are visible features. The camera is expected to be a game-changer in the vlogging aka content creation world with its high-quality video recording capabilities and user-friendly interface. The camera looks very similar to the Sony ZV-E10 APS-C sensor-based Mirrorless camera with an ultra-compact design. Even the controls are very similar.

Now let’s compare the controls of the camera with the Sony ZV-E10. As you can see we can notice some very minor differences in the design part of the camera when compared to ZV-E10
Sony ZV-E1 design changes compared to Sony ZV-E10
The shutter button now has an on-off switch like Sony professional camera
Still,/Video/S&Q button layout has been changed
Rest most of the controls resembles Sony’s ZV-E10

This leaked image will surely generate a lot of excitement among videographers and content creators. Stay tuned for more updates on the Sony ZV-E1 camera as it continues to make waves in the industry.
Sony ZV-E1 Price is said to be between $2000-$2500 [Body Only] – The information is coming out from a trusted source of the rumor mill, so now its almost confirmed that the upcoming ZV-E1 camera isn’t that cheap and we have to pay a good price for the body only. Now take a look at the set of full specification we have related to the upcoming Sony ZV-E1 camera

A new sensation, a super blurry image floating over the web, and said to be of an upcoming Sony ZV-E1 camera. (everything is so messy in this image, nothing is clear, and no part of the camera is clearly visible).
We will post more updates soon as they become available to us
