Sony A7R IV to Feature 54MP Sensor [Rumor]

According to the latest rumors, Sony is working on a high resolution 54 megapixel full frame stacked BSI CMOS sensor.  The Sensor based on same architecture of Sony A6500 camera sensor.

In that post the source of the rumor mill also confirmed that the 26MP sensor being used inside the Fuji X-T3 camera is made by Sony.

We Already have a bunch of information related to Sony 60 megapixel full frame sensor [see here and here] that is rumored to be used inside Sony upcoming full frame mirrorless cameras. For the first time we are getting news about Sony 54 Megapixel fullframe CMOS sensor.

Sony will use 50+MP Sensor for Sony A7R IV

Despite of creating one of the best high-resolution full frame cameras in the market, Sony is still behind resolution of Canon 5ds R camera. So resolution wise Sony is still lagging behind Canon. And they need to overcome that.

There is a big possibility that Sony may use 54MP or 60MP Stacked CMOS sensor for their Sony A7R IV camera. It’s necessary for Sony to surpass the Canon 5DSR Resolution barrier and to become No.1 in competition.

We will update you soon as we get any new information.

Patent application title: ZOOM LENS AND IMAGING DEVICE

Now let’s talk about latest Tamron patent, Tamorin is working on 100-400mm F2.6-F8.3 for M4/3 sensor. After looking at the aperture range I am bit surprised, having a 8.3 aperture at 400mm end isn’t so normal and you need to have vast amount of light to get clear shots with your lens. But before we begin, I must tell you that I am not impressed with the aperture range of upcoming Tamron 100-400mm lens for M4/3 camera.

Fuji X-T30 Coming in 2019

Well there are lot people, those who are waiting for Fuji X-T30 camera.  As we all know Fuji X-T30 camera is the only camera in Fuji line-up which uses third generation of 26MP Fuji X-Trans sensor. So, its bit obvious for people to wait for next iteration.

It’s bit logical to except a Fuji X-T30 camera from Fuji also,  If you look at the announcement pattern of Fuji X-T series Cameras, then you will find a rhythm in their announcement pattern.

Also Keep in mind factors like Target sales unit and Competitors.

In a very simple way if we talk about the possible arrival time of Fuji Next X-T30 camera then we have less than 6 months. Fuji will announce their Fuji X-T30 camera between March to May Months of 2019. Since, Fuji only took only 6 month to announce X-T20 camera after the announcement of Fuji X-T2.

 

Fuji X-T1 Jan, 2014
Fuji X-T10 May, 2015
Fuji X-T2 Jul, 2016
Fuji X-T20 Jan, 2017
Fuji X-T3 Sep, 2018

Now let’s. talk it in bit details while considering some other factors.

The First Factor is Target Sales of X-T3

In general other camera companies also follow the same trend and you should aware of that.  Once the sales target of a flagship camera is reached and company already earned a good amount from the sales. They announces the affordable version of the same camera to reach out more people and gain more sales.

List of Fuji Flagship Camera with Announcement Timeline

FUji X-Pro2 [outdated]
 Jan, 2016
Fuji X-E3 Sep, 2017
Fuji X-H1 Feb, 2018
Fuji X-T3 Sep, 2018

Fuji X-Pro2, Fuji X-H2 and X-E3 Updates are Due with X-Trans 4

Before we think of getting a affordable X-Trans 4 body in our hand we have to think over that Fuji flagships update are overdue. And if they put X-Trans 4 sensor under affordable body, it will hamper future flagship camera sales.

Fuji Changed its strategy, their only main aim is to lead the APS-C segment despite of taking care of their own flagship cameras, that’s why instead of putting attention towards X-Pro2 update Fuji putting attention towards other model development and announcement. Their only aim is to put best Specs in front of consumers under reasonable price tag.

Fuji X-T30 Early Announcement Depend Upon Competitor offerings

If Sony announces Sony A6700 on NAB or at Photokina 2019 [see first set of leaked specs here]  the only way to kill its sale is to put a affordable body in market carrying 26MP X-Trans sensor and with 4K30p recording option under or approx $1000 price range. So, Fuji X-T30 announcement actually depend competitors offerings.

Fuji X-T30 will arrive in 2019 only if Sony announces something better than Fuji X-T3 with lower price tag. Otherwise we have to wait till 2020.

Do share your thoughts with us. Do remember Fuji GFX 100 Official announcement is due for 2019

Nikon Z Series Underwater Housing and Adapter Image Spotted

We have searched a lot  int this patent about details, however it’s sometimes hard to dig out all the details from translated machine language.

May be they were trying to hide the new Nikon Mirrorless camera models  ?
