I’m seriously considering this lens for my hiking tours. And it looks like I’m not the only one — Sigma Japan has just announced a potential supply shortage due to demand being higher than expected.

Our time has come: New Sony Alpha camera (and maybe a new lens) is coming soon

Finally after quite a lazy year with only two not so exciting announcements (FX2 and RX1rIII) I am now 99% certain a new Sony Alpha camera is coming soon. I would definitely NOT buy the A7IV camera ;)
And apparently also new lens(es) announcements will happen too! Stay tuned…I might have some news tomorrow ;)

Size comparison between the Sony FX3, Canon C50 and Nikon Zr

Here’s a size comparison between the three compact Cine Full Frame cameras. Key observations:
- The Canon C50 is noticeably bulky, while the Nikon Zr stands out for its remarkably slim profile
- The Nikon Zr features an impressively large screen, but it lacks some of the physical buttons found on the other two
- It’s also the only one without a built-in fan—will that lead to overheating issues?
