Translated version
A new Sony camera with the code name “WW751104” has been registered and may be released in September or October; In addition, we may see a new FX series E-mount camera first, followed by the rumored 24-70mm f/2.0 GM lens, and then another E-mount mirrorless camera. We look forward to more, and you can look forward to our follow-up reports.
Regarding the new camera, there are rumors that a photographer who works with Sony revealed that he will be going to Taiwan to test Sony’s new camera in a few weeks. However, this new camera will not be released with the 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens. From the timing, this photographer may be testing the FX series E-mount video camera expected to be released in September. Are you looking forward to it?
If analyze the above information, then it is very clear that the source is talking about two different cameras, one is a Sony camera with the code name “WW751104”, A E-Mount Mirrorless camera that is also expected to arrive alongside the 24 to 70mm F2.0 Lens in the next few months and the next is full frame sensor based professional cinematography camera, like the FX3.
Canon has registered a PATENT, a Camera that is VERY similar to the DJI Osmo Pocket Creator Kit. The design, display screen, and camera position look almost very identical.
I have a big fear that if Canon announces such a camera, they may face legal trouble for copying the exact design of an existing camera. Although I am not a legal expert, it appears to be very similar—approximately 95%—to the DJI Osmo Pocket Creator Kit.
Canon has been working on multiple sets of vlogging cameras for the past few years. This is not the first time Canon has explored out-of-the-box solutions. Three years ago, they published a series of patents that included a gimbal camera design with an interchangeable lens mount and a unique and innovative complex vlogging camera with a very flexible display screen.
When might it come out?
Generally, a patent typically takes two to three years to become a real product if the camera maker or any company is seriously working on it. So, we might expect such a camera to arrive sometime in late 2026 or early 2027.
Canon Vlogging Camera Patents we have published in the past
List of APS-C Camera published by rumor mill that we may see in the year 2025, now in 2024, we have seen some amazing full-frame camera announcements, but yeah, we are still waiting for the updates on major APS-C models that include the Canon R7 as well as the Canon R10. So let’s discuss the set of possible updates that we may see next year.
So the list starts with the Canon R7 Mark II camera. We already have the Canon R7 camera with a 32.5 MP sensor, but the rumor mill expects a 32.5 MP stacked CMOS sensor inside the upcoming Canon R7 Mk II. BTW, if ur a reader of our website you have noticed that we have already discussed the spec sheet of the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera, Let’s see again the particular specs that we expect to be inside the upcoming R7 Mark II camera below. If you wish to know more, click here.
The next camera that the rumor mill discusses is the Canon R10 Mark II camera. Although we were expecting the arrival of the Canon R10 Mark II camera in Aug -Sep 2024. Even rumor mills expect that the same 32.5 MP sensor that we have seen in the Canon R7 body will arrive inside the R10 Mark II body. Again, this is not something new, we have already published the set of specs that we expect from the Canon R10 mark II camera
Canon R10 Mark II Rumored Specification
32.5MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
4K60 10-Bit Video, HDR-PQ (NO lOG)
15 fps Mech. Shutter
2.36m-Dot OLED EVF
1.6m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
Single SD Card Slot
Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
The main reason why it should have a 32.5 MP sensor (non-stacked version) is the arrival of a 26 MP sensor inside, Sony’s ZV-E10 Mark II camera arrived with 26 MP BSI CMOS Sensor, as well as the arrival of a 40 MP sensor inside Fuji X-T50 Camera. You can see all the existing competitors scaling up their resolution, so if Canon fails to do so, they will surely face a big hit in their sales, which they are already experiencing, so again if they fail to do so, they will have to face the expected consequences.
Now, this is something unique, as we have not yet discussed the Canon R50 Mark II camera. Rumors suggest that we may see the Canon R50 Mark II camera next year (Aug- Sep 2024). Although they are not very specific about the specs of the R50 Mark II camera. Now, what we are expecting right now is a smooth transition of Canon R10 specs inside the Canon R50 Mark II next year, and similarly, the R7 specs will have a smooth transition inside the R7 Mark II. That’s how the industry works, and that’s what we should see next year.
Canon R50 Mark II Expected Core Specification
24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
4K30 Video, 4K60 with Crop; HDR-PQ
1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The next rumor we are getting is about the Canon R200 camera. Again, Canon can’t announce the R200, instead, they will pick the R100 Mark II name, a. But even before that, we are expecting the arrival of the Canon V100 camera, which is a bit more vlogging-centric and without an electronic viewfinder. So that’s what we are expecting right now from Canon. It will be very interesting to see what Canon unfolds in front of us in the upcoming months, as we are eagerly waiting with high curiosity to see what’s coming next.
Sony announced the Z200 and HXR-NX800 4K 1″ Sensor NXCAM Camcorder announced by Sony today, both of these camcorders feature 1″ sensor and a dedicated AI chip inside these camcorders to enhance the AF capabilities as well as advanced AI AF framing modes.

Conclusion:
So we have the PXW-Z200 from Sony as well as the HXR-NX800 camcorder. The major difference between the two is that the Sony PXW-Z200 offers a 12G-SDI output option as well as timecode functionality, which is not present in the HXR-NX800.
With the help of the 12G-SDI output, which is highly suitable for professional workflows, especially when you are involved in live broadcasting, this feature becomes very useful.
As mentioned earlier, you also have a streaming advantage with the Z200 camcorder. With the timecode functionality, you can use this camera in multi-camera setups, like in newsrooms.
So, technically, almost 95% of the core specifications are the same between the two, but these are the differences.
So this is not new. On May 27, 2024 [check previous post], we received strong hints that DJI and their team are working on an interchangeable lens setup, we thought at the time it could be a BIG brother of DJI POCKET CREATOR Kit, and Most Probably the creator kit with DJI L Mount lenses support will be called PRO KIT.The camera will feature an L-mount and will have a new set of lenses coming with it. Initially, we thought it would be a type of DJI professional creator kit, but the latest information suggests it’s slightly different.
But, now these rumors surfaced again on the web and again the rumor mill has no clue what is coming next, if DJI announced a completely new interchangeable Lens mirrorless system cameras, for sure it will create a big threat to Canikon and Sony.
The Nikon 28-135mm power zoom lens is coming, and this has now been confirmed. Take a look at the official press release from Nikon below
Nikon is developing the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ, a standard zoom lens for the Nikon Z mount system
USA, October 30, 2024 – Nikon Corporation (Nikon) is pleased to announce the ongoing development of the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ, a standard zoom lens that is compatible with full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted.
The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is a standard zoom lens with power zoom that covers the focal-length range from 28 to 135 mm. It is designed to provide ease of use and superior optical performance for video recording, supporting efficient recording for documentaries and location work by a solo videographer or small crew.
Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users’ needs, contributing to the development of imaging culture, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.
An interesting patent application from Nikon was published on August 16, 2024. It appears to be for a compact wide-angle lens with a unique cross-sectional lens design. In the patent below, is of two lenses one is 24mm F2.8 and the other one is a 26mm F2.8 Lens designed for the Nikon Z Mount. As we all know in the Nikon Z mount linup we do have the 26mm F2.8 Lens as well as the also have 28mm F2.8 Lens, so the lens is about to arrive, is Nikon 24mm F2.8mm.
