In a latest interview Nikon representatives clearly hinted that there will be models below Nikon Z6, and Nikon APS-C Sensor based Mirrorless cameras are also coming. So, we now have Nikon Z6 Mirrorless camera (body) priced at $1996 (B&H | Amazon.com) and with 24-70mm F4 lens you have to pay $600 extra to grab the entire kit. When Nikon hinted a model below Z6, its a clear indication that we will sure have a camera somewhere around $1500 to attract Pro APS-C user base and will sure bring more new users to Nikon.
Interview with a Nikon executive [Major Points]
“I cannot confirm that, yes, we are doing a DX, but there will be models below the Z6. We will widen up the range to different users and different price brackets, definitely…”
“But having an S-line suggests that there should also be something else; non-S-line lenses, which will focus more on affordability.”
“On the DSLR we could have chosen sensor-based VR because that technology exists already, but we chose lens VR because you then have the stable view in the optical viewfinder.”
“Basically, if we had added the second card slot the camera would have been bigger – and we didn’t want that.”
“Because of the new mount, actually you cannot make an apple-with-apple comparison of an f/1.8 lens with this system with an f/1.8 lens for a DSLR, because the f/1.8 from thew Z mount is more similar to the kind of image quality you’d get from an f/1.4 on a DSLR. So that’s really never-seen-before image quality.”
“What we can see now is that the back orders for the Z7 are higher – maybe 60% to 40% for the Z6.”
One of the best thing I really like is the introduction of big mount, even the Nikon executive said that even when you are using F1.8 lens on Nikon Z-mount camera you will get output similar a DSLR F1.4 lens.
We will update you soon as we get any new information related to upcoming cameras.
Development Announcement from Fuji: Finally Fujifilm is developing their flagship 100 megapixel medium format mirrorless camera, you can say it’s ultimate gfx series medium format camera, which is schedule to arrive in the year of 2019 with a very high price tag.
One of the most interesting thing that we have seen in the prototypes The camera do features 5 Axis image stabilization system and phase detect autofocus pixels inside the hundred megapixel medium format sensor.
One of the most important thing that we have already seen the medium format sensor announcement from Sony in the past year, but those 100 megapixel medium format BSI CMOS sensors or you can say the hundred 50 MB BSI CMOS sensor doesn’t feature built-in phase detect autofocus pixels.
If Fuji film is promising for Phase detect autofocus system in there medium format camera, it’s a clear indication that they have self develop their sensor with their own homegrown Technologies. Possibly the GFX camera will be the first to carry a medium format X-trance sensor, And personally I would love to see X- trans medium format sensor performance when compared to earth medium format BSI sensor performance in near future.
One of the most important thing to know that the camera is also capable to record high quality 4K videos. And at the same time you will have a blazing fast autofocusing speed while creating your 4K videos, thanks to the built-in Hybrid AF Sensor.
And finally we have also got a confirmation from Fuji representatives that all the possible set ofGFX lenses present now and expected to arrive in near future are fully capable to resolve 100 megapixel resolution without an issue.
So, finally we are having a very competitive player in the medium format Battleground, and the space is still empty because we have hasselblad we Phase one but none of them have any promise things system like Fuji GFX system.
We do got some rumours that Phase one is also developing their lineup of medium format mirrorless camera but it still about to be confirmed.
Now one of the most disappointing thing related to the announcement of the so-called hundred megapixel medium format camera is its price, she said the camera will going to cost $10,000 which is of course very high, but at the same time if you compare the cost of the camera with the existing medium format professional solutions available via Phase ONE and hasselblad then you will find it reasonable.
we will update you soon as we get any development announcement or leaves related to the upcoming hundred megapixel medium format camera from Fujifilm.

Just take a look that how well Fuji XT 3 (B&H | Amazon.com) camera tracks eye of the subject. It’s look like Fuji engineers done too much of hardwork to bring out the Eye AF tracking tech to Fuji. At the same time if you are a user of Sony A7III or Sony A9 camera then you will find Fuji AF eye tracking tech is not upto the mark as we have seen in Sony, however, one of the great thing that Fuji finally introduced it and we may see improvement in near future via firmware updates.
Sony announced today a bunch of new sensors, one of the most attractive one is the MX342LLA/LQA. The APS-C sensor features a massive resolution of 31MP and available in Monochrome and RGB version and labelled for Industrial use. However, this Sensor can be also used in future APS-C cameras like successor of Sony A6500 / Sony A6700.
