Fuji just announced the new GFX100II (preorders at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama). A full intro text can be read at Explora. The camera uses a NEW Sony 102MP medium format sensor.

You know I am a big believer in Sony also doing a medium format camera. I believe there is a market for that and Sony has some amazing medium format sensor (even bigger in size) they could use. Fingers crossed Sony will learn from Fuji’s success and offer a competitor in the years to come…

Today Sony will announce the new Burano Full Frame E-mount CineAlta camera. It will be interesting to see what new sensor tech Sony has developed for this camera. Sensor tech that might be the base for the soon to be announced Sony A9III? And just to recap what you can expect after the Burano announcement:

• Sigma will announce the new 70-200mm f/2.8 FE lens around October 6
• There will be more lens announcements from third party manufacturers (some of them actually very nice lenses!)
• Sony might have a lens announcement in October (still checking this!)
• Sony A9III will DEFINITELY be announced between November and January

Exactly one year ago I lost a friend with whom I built an entire giant camera to create unique direct positive Ilfochrome images. On October 6 for three months you can see his work and our images shot with the giant Cube camera in the Kunsthaus in Merano (Italy). If you choose to come let me know and I will accompany you.

Thanks!

This is the intro:

And here the improvements:

Nikkei analyzed the 2022 global market share in the electronics industry. In the digital camera market Canon is well ahead of Sony which lost about 0,9% market share compared to the previous year. When it comes to image sensors Sony is on top with a big leap over Samsung.

Sony still leads in the Full Frame mirrorless segment but Canon is doing much better when it comes to fixed lens cameras and APS-C. Something we know Sony has neglected in the past years :( I wonder if the booming logging market will make it so that Sony will gain market share in 2023. Because this year they launched two new logging cameras, the ZV-E1 and ZV-1II which seem to sell quite well.
