Sony A6000 $498 [B&H | Amazon.com] 24.3MP | BIONZ X | Fast Hybrid AF & 179 Phase-Detect | 11 fps | Full HD 1080p 60p XAVC S Why Sony A6000 is better than the Sony A5100 ?

Canon EOS M100 [B&H | Amazon.com] 24.2MP | Digic 7 | Dual Pixel CMOS AF | 6.1 fps | Full HD 1080p 60p |
Why we have picked EOS M100 Mirrorless camera in the list. Since this camera features bigger sensor and more resolution than of Olympus E-M10 Mark II camera, and also the Auto Focus Speed of Canon M100 camera is very fast due to Dual Pixel CMOS AF Sensor.
Canon EOS M100 can also record Full HD Video at 60 frames per second.

The sensor of m4/3 small compared to the sensor used inside Sony A6000 and EOS M100. We are placing E-M10 Mark II camera in our list due to its 5 axis-IS support and advance core specs.

Canon attending this year CES event and you can check at Central Hall 16206 from Jan 9-12, 2018 at Las Vegas NV. Last Year the center of attraction was 2 MP Canon Low light monster and Canon 250MP APS-H sensor. In general Canon announces / updates power shot series in January. So, we are also expecting new product announcement this year. You can check latest rumors here and also see list of upcoming Canon camera in 2018.
Earlier we have posted that Nikon isn’t attending the CES 2018 event. But, Thanks to Thom Hogan and Doug Who told us that Nikon is attending the CES 2018 Event.
Why the confusion was occurred ? Since, Nikon isn’t listed any “official” CES press conference schedule, and that’s why we thought Nikon isn’t attending. But, they are coming and as Thom said “Companies don’t always list their press conferences there because they want to limit the press to their own specific contacts, not the broader CES ones. Thus, you can’t even say that Nikon won’t have a new product at CES. Indeed, it’s likely that they will (e.g. Coolpix P900 followup).”
At the moment we don’t know what actually coming at CES show, May be Nikon P1000 🙂 Well, Nikon have lot’s of announcement overdue, that includes Nikon D650, Nikon P1000, Nikon D760 and Nikon D5s. So, we have to wait and watch.
Well its not a rumor, its a prediction by Veteran photographer / Youtuber Tony Northup. He also did perfect predicitons in the past and so this time we Can’t ignore him.
According to him Canon will announce a Fullframe Mirrorless camera by having name M3 with same sensor as of Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera and 4K (cropped as canon usually do).
At first Canon will announce 3 to 4 lenses for its FF Mirrorless camera along with a adapter for Canon DSLR lenses. The price of the upcoming camera is rumored to be somewhere around $3.4K.
