The Fuji X100VI is so hyped that you can expect to wait many months before your preorder at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FotoErhardt. Calumet. WexUk will ship out. And this is due the TikTok/Instagram foolish exposure around the previous X100V model. I am yet not sure about this, but I think that this hype might have brought some benefit to Sony too. As people maybe will look for more alternatives that are available now. I took a quick look at google trends and I noted a curious pattern:

• The interest for both the Sony RX1 and RX100 bottomed out in late 2021. Note, that’s when the X100V hype started
• Since then the interest for both cameras did increase slightly. The late 2023 searches for both cameras are now above the searches they had in 2020!

As you know the Sony RX1 has been officially discontinued so it won’t be available for a long time at Amazon and BHphoto. Let’s hope Sony has a plan to keep the RX lineup alive!

On April 11 at 20:00 Peking time 7Artisans will announce the new 27mm f/2.8 autofocus Full Frame E-mount lens. Here is the teaser image:

You can reorder them now at BHphoto, Amazon and Adorama. Full press intro can be read at Explora.

The Swiss store Digitech.ch share

Above you can see how Sony took over the lead in 2019. Not they hold a market share of 28.1 per cent. The real suprise here is that Kodak and Agfa are selling more cameras than Panasonic, Fuji or Nikon! The reason might be the recent increase in interest for disposable film cameras.

When it comes to lenses Canon leads the pack. Obviously Canon has a closed mount system and Sigma/Tamron cannot make lenses for them. So it’s kind of obvious that Sony doens’t take the lead because of the many E-mount lenses that Sigma and Tamron are selling right now.

APS-C cameras are the most sold at Digitech.

So folks, If you are waiting for me to share RELIABLE info about the Sony A7sIV I have to disappoint you. I really got nothing from trusted sources yet about this camera. All I know is that a couple of BIG cameras will be announced during the second half of the year with only the ZV-E10II coming before that in May/June.

So just for the sake of discussion: What’s your opinion on the possibility of merging the FX3 and A7s into one camera? They are both extremely similar when it comes to tech they use and the customer basis they serve. Yes, the A7s has an integrated viewfinder and yes the FX3 has an activa cooling system that makes it more bulky. But I wonder if a new FX3II with attachable electronic viewfinder would be a more ideal solution.
