Ok, let’s start from the beaning. That1cameraguy first reported the AF issue and later on we have also received conformation from Max. That yes the tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD Lens Auto Focus Problem, although it occurs rarely and the issues goes away once you switch on-off the camera.
The issue isn’t big, but the best part is Tamron responded very quickly and promised to fix this issue ASAP via a firmware update. Just have look at the problems spotted by two well known Vloggers and Camera Experts.
Notice about 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036) Operation
Dear Tamron product users and potential purchasers.
Thank you for your interest in Tamron products.
We would like to announce that we discovered some issues with the auto focus of our new lens, 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036) for Sony E-mount, 35mm full-frame mirrorless cameras, released on May 24, 2018. The issues occur primarily when using the camera in video recording mode.
Rest assured, we are evaluating the cause of the error and for the solution to this matter. We expect this issue to be resolved very shortly and we will release a firmware update at that time.
Regarding the firmware updating process, please be assured that the process is accomplished directly through the Sony camera and supported by the Sony firmware updating function. As soon as the process is finalized, we will explain the process in detail on our website.
We sincerely apologize to all users and potential purchasers for any inconvenience this issue may cause.

Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Canon products.
By the way, we are finally decided to end sales for the film single lens reflex camera “EOS – 1v”.
We will also take repair measures until October 31, 2025, even after the repair correspondence period of our company’s repair service contract for the purpose of improving service and support for customers who use this product.
※ After the repair correspondence period of our company repair service contract (October 31, 2020), we may refuse the repair due to parts inventory situation.
Although it is truly selfish, thank you for your kind understanding of the circumstances
According to latest rumors Canon is now preparing to announce the C300 Mark 3 III camera and possibly we will going to see it’s announcement next as a cinema camera on or after Photokina 2018 event.
Resources also suggest that the upcoming camera will going to have a bump in resolution with the specification is yet to be known. Not only can cinema EOS Mark 3 camera, this year Canon is also referred to announces cinema EOS DSLR camera you can look at more rumors here.
We will going to update you soon as we get any new information related to upcoming Canon cameras by the way you can look at upcoming camera codes where you can see there are a lot of Canon cameras are registered in wireless certification Agencies and expected to arrive this and upcoming years.
Canon EOS C300 Mark II camera was announced on April 8 2015. So, the camera is approx 3 year old and despite having $9,000 price tag the camera remains limited to capture 4K video at 60 frames per second.
Sony working on Fullframe Mirrorless camera lenses, as we all know Sony FE system cameras doesn’t have long telephoto Zoom lenses. As the Canikons have in their arsenal, so its nice see they working on to solve the issue and we will see new range of super-telephoto G-master lenses soon.

Well a patent roughly take 2 or three years of time to become reality. So, we do hope these two lenses will become reality possibly in 2020. We will update you soon as we any new information.
Sony finally announced a new 0.5-type UXGA OLED Micro-display, which is can be used as Viewfinder of upcoming Mirrorless cameras such as Sony A7S III or may be A9R. The newly announced OLED display features Top-of-Class UXGA Resolution, Featuring the World’s Smallest Pixel Pitch of 6.3µm
OLED Microdisplays are widely used in digital camera electronic viewfinders (EVF) for their superior high contrast, high color gamut, and high-speed responsiveness. Sony, having achieved this high resolution and high frame rate, now offers even more realistic image display and accurate capture of subjects for use in high-end cameras that demand extremely high image quality.

As you can see, Sony planned mass production of device from the beginning of Nov 2018. But, you anyone grab the sample of new product at 50,000 JPY.
Of course yes, Sony will going to use the new UXGA display in all its upcoming Sony A7 series and A9 series Mirroless cameras. They have made the new OLED viewfinder to use as EVF in Mirrorless cameras. In the previous post we have already discussed about the reason behind the delay in announcement of the Sony A7S III camera. We have already received first set of specification the upcoming Sony A7S III camera -> Take a look here for more details.

.Sony Releases 0.5-type OLED Microdisplay with Top-of-Class UXGA Resolution, Featuring the World’s Smallest Pixel Pitch of 6.3µm
Tokyo, Japan—Sony Corporation today announced the upcoming release of the ECX339A OLED Microdisplay featuring UXGA (1600 x 1200 resolution), the highest in class for a 0.5-type. This product achieves the world’s smallest pixel pitch of 6.3μm by leveraging Sony’s OLED display technology and miniaturization technology, enabling a resolution 1.6x higher than the previous model*1. By employing a new drive circuit design that operates on half the voltage of the previous model*1, the new product achieves the same level of low-power operation as its predecessor but with much higher resolution. When paired with Sony’s original driving system*2, a frame rate up to 240 fps is supported—double that of previous product*1.

Enhancing the resolution on microdisplays has traditionally presented problems such as deteriorating image quality due to decreased pixel pitch and inferior viewing angle properties. The new product features optimized transistors layout and process to address uneven characteristics and loss of withstand voltage, the issues associated with transistor miniaturization. The Sony original variation compensation circuit also enhances picture quality. Additionally, the color filter is deposited directly on the silicon substrate, reducing its distance from the light emitting layer, and the filter’s color array has been modified. This helps to secure the viewing angle properties while achieving high resolution.

Sony, having achieved this high resolution and high frame rate, now offers even more realistic image display and accurate capture of subjects for use in high-end cameras that demand extremely high image quality.
Going forward, Sony expects this high-definition OLED Microdisplay to be employed in a diverse range of fields and applications such as AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) head-mounted displays.

Main Features
High-resolution UXGA in a 0.5-type
The new product has achieved the world’s smallest pixel pitch of 6.3μm by leveraging Sony’s proprietary OLED display technology and miniaturization technology, and has superior resolution 1.6x higher than the previous model*1. Generally, transistor miniaturization results in characteristic variation and reduced withstand voltage. This product uses a Sony original compensation circuit and optimized layouts and process for each individual transistor to address these adverse effects. Furthermore, the color filter is deposited directly on the silicon substrate, reducing its distance from the light emitting layer, and the filter’s color array has been modified to secure the viewing angle properties while achieving high resolution.
High-speed frame rate
A new drive circuit design supports a high frame rate of up to 240 fps*2, nearly double that of its predecessor*1. This has made it possible to capture fast-moving subjects in the viewfinder with higher accuracy, so users will not miss a photo opportunity, delivering a more comfortable shooting experience. In head-mounted display devices, this will help to improve image delay issue for items superimposed on real-world vision of AR and to avoid motion sickness during usage of these kinds of devices.
Low power consumption
By employing newly-designed peripheral circuits that operate on half the voltage of previous model*1, the new product delivers the same low-power operation as its predecessor when operating at the same frame rate, despite the nearly 1.6x increase in the number of pixels.
