NEW CAMERA VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE

By admin, on December 21st, 2024
We have already seen the auto area framing of the Sony cameras that have been popular quite a bit among content creators, and the auto area framing is typical, as we have seen, and now works on a single subject. At the same time, it has multiple boxes, typically three different sizes available: one is small, medium, and large. Once you select one of the boxes, the camera automatically frames your subject and crops it in the video’s final version, so it seems like someone is shooting your video. It is really helpful to content creators, those who shoot with wide-angle lenses and create videos and vlogs of their daily life routine, or, let’s say, their cooking videos. In this specific area, the auto area AI framing works very well.
Canon AI Auto Framing Tech Tracks, Crops, and Save
We recently saw a patent stating that Canon is also working on auto AI framing technology. In this technology, the camera automatically frames the subject depending on the user’s choice and saves cropped portions of the video to the SD card (of your choice), or you can say as a final product.
After looking at the details, it is very clearly visible the camera will save multiple video clips of the same video by cropping in on the selected multiple subjects in a single frame. It might depend on the user which clip they want to keep and wish to delete. The other option is they can tap on the subjects, either subject A or B, so that the camera will only save the clip of the subject that has been selected by the user among the multiple subjects present on the screen.
Canon Updated Menu System with AI Auto Framing
Canon AI Auto Framing Coming in Canon R6 Mark III or Canon R7 Mark II?
We may see the AI auto-framing feature of the Canon cameras in the upcoming Canon R6 Mark III and the Canon R7 Mark II cameras since it’s not a kind of hardware thing. In general, when Canon does a hardware patent, it generally takes 2 to 3 years. Still, since this is a software-based patent and the working principle of the AI auto-framing is solely dependent upon the DIGIC accelerator chip present inside Canon cameras, once introduced with the Canon R6 Mark 3 as well as R7 Mark 2, later on, these updates will be processed over the cameras with an AI accelerator chip inside them.
Even in the screenshot of the menu that I shared with you, you can clearly see the camera has dual card slots inside it. That indicates none of the entry-level cameras will have these features. As of now, only the cameras with the AI accelerator chip and dual card slots, which indicate a professional body, will have the AI auto-framing capability.

Viltrox has announced 35mm f/1.7 Air lens for bodies FX, E, and Z mount. One of the best things about this particular lens is its price—at just $180, you are getting a 35mm f/1.7 lens for these mounts, and this is a full-frame lens, so you can use it on your full-frame as well as APS-C bodies.
AF 35/1.7 Full-frame equivalent 52.5mm is a standard-angle lens for portrait photography, daily photography, and food photography. It is undoubtedly another affordable lens for the beginner.
Main features:
1. High-efficiency autofocus: STM motor with screw-type guide rod
2. Lightweight and compact size for easy carrying
3. High-quality standard lens with F1.7 wide aperture and pure blur
4. Reliable video performance: extremely low breathing effect
5. Optimized lens hood with longer length, better light-shielding effect
The lens’ optical formula includes 11 elements in 9 groups, with 1 ED lens, 1 aspherical lens, and 2 high-refractive lenses. It also features nano-coating, and the aperture has nine blades. While Viltrox makes no claims of weather resistance, the front element does have a coating to resist oils and liquids.

According to the latest coming from the Fuji rumor mill, the Fuji X-Pro3 successor, which might be called the Fuji X-Pro 5 or the Fuji X-Pro 6 depending upon the time of its arrival and siblings’ name at that time, is delayed and one thing for sure no X-Pro 4 coming. Even the rumor mill is sure of one thing NO X-PRO series update will arrive in 2025, which is why it’s safe to say it may arrive in 2026.
So what’s the biggest reason that Fuji is continuously delaying the update of the Fuji X-Pro series camera? The marketing team has seen the sales numbers of the Fuji X-Pro3 camera, and due to the LOW VOLUME of purchases made compared to the previous two versions of the camera, the series has been delayed for further updates.
And what’s the biggest reason behind the low sales numbers of the X-Pro3? It was the display screen. They have created a unique kind of display screen, which was good for nothing, and if you want to see the actual display of the camera, you have to go through a very hard way. The display was not properly tilting in the backward direction of the camera, so it was kind of an entire design blunder. They were trying to make a kind of Leica M11 series or what we don’t know at this moment, but the existing user base of the X-Pro series camera was not that happy. Even at the time of the announcement, I have posted the comments I have received, and the feedback that I received at that moment mostly suggested that better to invest in the X-T series rather than getting this camera with this weird type of display.
Fuji must learn from their past mistakes. Whenever they want to announce the X-Pro series, it’s completely good; it depends upon their own marketing team’s decision and whatever future strategies they have—it’s all okay. But they should at least include a good fixed display screen in their camera, or even if they want to add a very handy tilting display, it’s most welcome. They should keep it as simple as possible for photographers.

According to the latest rumors from trusted rumor mills, the R6 Mark III camera will have a display screen design similar to the Sony A7R5 camera. That means it will feature a tilting and a very versatile display screen altogether.
The second improvement that we will witness is the use of an OLED monitor on the back display portion of the camera. Currently, Canon uses an LCD-type display, whereas other brands like Nikon, Sony, and Fuji use OLED. So for now, let’s hope and expect a massive improvement in the display part of the camera.
Other specifications of the R6 Mark 3 camera are said to remain the same as we have discussed earlier. That includes the 24MP stacked sensor, which is directly coming from the Canon R3 camera, 30 FPS of continuous shooting speed with electronics, and, of course, all the rest of the core specifications you can see below.
- 24-megapixel LC1720 sensor.
- DIGIC Accelerator accelerated processor, 8.5-stop collaborative image stabilization.
- Same focus system as EOS R5 II.
- Highly reliable 14-bit 30fps RAW electronic shutter continuous shooting, reading speed 1/180s.
- In-camera neural network noise reduction and high-resolution magnification.
- Supports XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording of C4K/120p (S35) and 6K oversampled C4K.
- Supports 6K30p and 4K60p (S35) Cinema RAW Light recording.
- OLED monitor on the rear display with a versatile tilting and rotating design, similar to the Sony A7R5.
And one important thing to note down is that you will not be getting an eye-tracking electronic viewfinder in this segment. That is the R6 Mark 3. Yes, you will have an improved electronic viewfinder compared to the predecessor, but again, no eye-tracking is coming in this particular segment.

Along with the Panasonic G97 mirrorless camera, Panasonic today also announced the compact camera Panasonic ZS99. It is actually a re-launch of the Panasonic TZ95 compact camera, which has now been discontinued. As usual, the display has been updated along with some minor upgrades. But one of the most important things that we will miss in this camera is the electronic viewfinder, which was actually present in the TZ95 but is now removed.
The camera features a small sensor, while at the very same time is capable of zooming up to 30x optically, and with digital zoom, you can reach up to 60x.

Panasonic silently updated its camera in the past due to the display screen supply line production issue (see here). Again, they faced the same problem with the G90 camera, so this time they had to make a bit more significant update and re-launch it as a brand-new camera.
So this time, they have not only updated the screen but also upscaled all possible core specifications. Possible for that particular price range with the available resources.
The first major update you will notice this time is the display screen, which is now 1.84 Million dots, The resolution of the screen is somewhere around 1.4 million dots. The electronic viewfinder of the camera remains the same with 2.36 million dot resolution, which is quite reasonable within the price range.
The sensor and image processor of the camera remain the same, but we do have some minor updates all over the body. So let’s discuss that.
We have Single card slots, which are compatible with UHS-II cards, a headphone port, a micro-HDMI port, and a USB-C port, and with that port, you can now also charge your battery.
The menu system has been slightly upscaled to make it better. Now it looks very similar to the new S5 II and S5 IIX cameras.
Unfortunately, we are getting the same 20-megapixel sensor of the G90 or G95 camera with the DFD autofocusing system, which clearly means the autofocus will be slow and will include a lot of focus hunting in low-light situations. Thanks to the new image sensors of Panasonic introduced in the Panasonic GH7 camera, which now has 25-megapixel resolution and hybrid autofocusing points. The same technology exists in the full-frame S5 II and S5 IIX cameras, which now use a hybrid phase-detection autofocus sensor of 24MP resolution.
So, that’s a very welcome upgrade Panasonic has done recently with their new range of cameras, but the older series with DFD autofocusing systems remains in its place.
Let’s talk about the video recording capability of the camera. With the recently announced Panasonic G97, you can record 4K videos up to 30 frames per second and Full HD videos up to 120 frames per second.
The best thing about the Panasonic G97 camera is the built-in 5-stop image stabilization system, which is very, very effective while shooting video on the go. It manages the camera shake that most professional cameras are not able to handle even with their 7-8 stops of IBIS.
But again, the issue with the 4K recording is a 1.25x crop, even at 4K 30 frames per second. So, if you are using a 16mm lens, the resulting output will be somewhere around 20mm. If you want to create vlogs with the camera, you have to buy a lens like a 9mm F1.7 aperture lens, which is also not too expensive and can be used for day-to-day vlogging purposes.
Other upgrades include Bluetooth, which has been upscaled to 5.0 from 4.2, and with the help of the upscaled Bluetooth chip, you can now synchronize your camera with the Lumix Sync app. With the help of the app, you can try new LUTs as well as transfer your images seamlessly on the go.
More or less, it was the need of the time to refresh the display screen of the camera due to production line issues coming out from the display makers. But Panasonic made a smart move to update the overall core specifications of the camera and made it slightly more usable for today’s generation at a budget price range.
