Sony Japan also announced a Silver version of the Sony A6400

In Japan you can get the new A6400 in Silver too. It’s unclear if that version will be available outside Japan too.
Those are the camera market shares for the year 2018 in Japan
The image on top shows the full power of the Canon machinery. With their new M50 and EOS-R cameras they made a +10% jump on the Japanese market. Sony had a small increase of 2% and is no getting closer to the second place.
I bet in 2019 those shares will change dramatically with new Canon Nikon and Sony mirrorless cameras being released one after another.
Below you can find the shares in the fixed lens camera market:

Deal reminder on this lens:
EU readers save quite big on the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens sold on Amazon Spain. The price is 350 Euro lower than the best price I found in Germany. As usual all EU citizen can buy from the Amazon Spain store and correct VAT applies too.

New Techart electronic adapter allows E-mount lenses to be used on Nikon Z cameras…with autofocus!
The chinese adapter brand Techart is working on a new Sony E-mount to Nikon Z adapter. With that one you should be able to use Sony E-mount lenses on Nikon Z cameras with aperture control and autotofocus. Of course autotofus performance should be very poor but still it’s quite a neat thing.
