We have just published the news that Panasonic will soon update its major camera firmware to make it compatible with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) autofocusing system.
Pics that show the Panasonic S1H camera working in calibration with the LiDAR autofocusing system + RS Pro 3 gimbal to stabilize the camera. Although We don’t have that much detail on how the autofocus performed during the test, the combination of LiDAR autofocusing system with RS Pro 3 gimbal and Lumix S1H camera isn’t a cheap package.
Instead putting time on Lidar Tech, they should announce S1H Mark II with Hybrid Sensor asap – TNC
At the same time, they say they have already DEVELOPED their hybrid CMOS SENSOR, and we have already seen it in the Panasonic S5 MARK II mirrorless camera. Then, instead of investing time and money in LiDAR autofocusing system, it’s better to announce a new series of updated sensors for all their pro cameras with a hybrid system that they already have.
Nikon ZF image leaked with 40 mm f/2.8 AC lens. Although the image is blurry, from the design we are able to confirm that the lens being used in the camera is 40 mm f/2.8 SC which we have told you earlier is coming in the bundle with the Nikon ZF camera. In our previous post, you can look at it here.
Nikon’s new product Z f, comes from the latest YT video [screenshot] about DJI AIR3.
So finally it has started, we have seen the first image of the Nikon ZF camera and very soon we will witness more images and details, of course, specifications of the upcoming new concept of the camera.

Now we have the updated core specifications of the upcoming Nikon ZF camera. From the recent set of core specifications, it has been confirmed that the upcoming camera does feature, for the first time, a pixel shift high-resolution mode. The Nikon ZF will become the first Nikon camera to feature a pixel shift high-resolution mode, something that none of the previous Nikon cameras were able to do. Other features include s an option to add a microSD card slot and a normal SD card slot.

Finally, we have leaked images of the Sony A7C II camera, take a look below at the set of leaked images of the upcoming camera. These images were leaked by a YouTuber ALEX NG, take a look at the screenshot of the images.
For instance, the images look very real to me, although I am not able to confirm the authenticity of the images, we have to wait for further confirmation
A senior member of Digital Photography Review claims that the Nikon ZF was presented among Nikon Pro dealers on the 2nd of August. So, the rumors we received in the past that the Nikon ZF may arrive on the 2nd of August were not completely false.
According to this person, the Nikon ZF camera will be shipped this year and will be available as a body and combo lens. No new lenses are coming with this camera. Another important fact that he added is that the camera uses a 25ish MP sensor, but the surprising thing is that it’s not a sensor of the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera. The camera sensors look like brand-new sensors developed specifically for the ZF camera.
The body of the camera feels exceptionally well in hand and much better than the Nikon ZFC. It is quite similar to the Nikon DF body, as we have said earlier in our post too. So, these are the updates related to the Nikon ZF camera. We will update you as soon as we get the latest information related to the upcoming camera.
According to the latest reports coming out from Tamron itself, Tamron lenses specifically for DSLR mounts that include Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Pentax are no longer eligible to be repaired. This clearly indicates that after the transition of DSLR giants to mirrorless, third-party lens makers are now clearing out their DSLR lenses to put their entire attention towards the development and production of mirrorless lenses

Arrival on Aug 2023
TNC Take – Although the announcement date is very close, likely to be in the first week of August, and despite the fact that the announcement date is so close, we do not have any authentic leaked specifications or glimpses of its images. So even though highly trusted sources are saying that the camera may arrive in the first week of August, I am not able to believe them since I am waiting for further confirmation and authentic proof related to the specs and images of the camera. As soon as we get it, I will update you. Stay tuned for more updates.
