What we learn from this:

  • Fujifilm had a superb year in 2024. Three cameras made it into the top 5!
  • Sony is loosing terrain with only two cameras in the ranking.
  • Tamron is surely going great and Nikon has made some excellent selling zooms.
  • The new Sony GMII zoom series sold well.

New Yongnuo lens on Jan 3 and new Brightin Star lens on Jan 6

Two new E-mount lenses (I think both might be autofocus) will be announced soon:

  • Yongnuo will announce a new YN23mm f/1.4S DA DSM WL Pro APS-C E-mount prime on January 3th
  • Brigthin Star will announce a new E-mount prime on January 6th

I don’t have the specs of the Brightin Star yet, but if it’s anything like all the other releases so far, this will again be an inadequate and unexciting addition. We already have a lot of affordable, unexciting lenses. What I’d like to see from these companies now is a truly innovative product…. like Viltrox did with the 16mm f/1.8 and 28mm f/4.5 pancake.

Happy New Year!

the A7V is coming soon for sure…just not like this imagined image on top :)

I wish you all a happy new year! And I’m sure we’ll still have an exciting time here on SAR in 2025. In fact, I think it will be even more exciting than 2024 ;)
