Recently, the camera market has been very lively, and many brands have officially released new models or officially announced that new products are about to be launched, and they are all heavyweight models. Today we are going to give you a look at these new camera products worth paying attention to.
佳能EOS R1——旗舰级专微相机
At 12 o'clock on May 15, 2024, Canon announced the development of the EOS R1, the first flagship model of the EOS system, which will be launched in 2024. Although the official announcement did not specify the specific performance parameters, we can still see some clues between the lines.
"The camera features a newly developed DIGIC Accelerator processor, together with the existing DIGIC X digital image processor and a newly developed CMOS image sensor, to form a new image processing system that is capable of processing large amounts of data at high speeds and offers significant improvements in autofocus (AF) and other functions."
Based on previous rumors and Canon's announcement, we predict that the Canon EOS R1's effective pixels will be improved compared to the EOS R3, which is expected to be at the 30 million pixel level, and the high-speed continuous shooting performance may reach the 100 fps level. In terms of video performance, it will be at least 6.2-6.7K 60P RAW level, and it is not impossible to go directly to 8K 60P. As the flagship model, the EOS R1 will have better image quality performance, especially in high-sensitivity imaging, which can be effectively denoised in the camera to obtain a purer and more detailed picture.
The current mirrorless cameras of the Canon EOS R series can identify subjects such as people, birds, and vehicles. As a high-speed sports camera, the EOS R1 naturally adds recognition of moving subjects on top of this. In the case of multiple players staggered, for example, in a ball game, the focus can always follow one of the players without being disturbed by the other players. The "Action Priority" function of the autofocus can even identify specific movements and trigger a focus decision. In sports such as football, for example, the focus system can even recognise a player's shot and record the best moments.
The camera will be available in 2024, but the exact launch date has not yet been determined, and the listing price has not been announced. However, Canon said in the announcement that it is promoting the field test of the camera, and it is estimated that it will be handed over to major news organizations and sports photographers before the Olympics or even the European Cup, and of course, the official launch is expected to be after the Olympics.
富士GFX100S II——一亿像素的诱惑
The Fujifilm GFX100S II is equipped with the newly developed high-speed sensor "GFX102MP CMOS II" with 102 million effective pixels and the high-speed image processing engine "X-Processor 5", and weighs approximately 883 grams in a compact and lightweight body.
The GFX100S II not only features rich tonal expression and 3D rendering capabilities due to the characteristics of a medium-format sensor, but also features AI-based object detection, which is a significant improvement over its predecessor. With fast, high-precision autofocus and an improved continuous shooting speed of up to 7.0 frames per second, the camera accurately captures moving subjects.
The in-body stabilization function has also been enhanced to achieve up to 8.0 stops of 5-axis stabilization. In terms of video performance, you can shoot vivid and smooth 4K/30P videos, and you can also produce high-quality videos. The GFX100S II is equipped with a total of 20 Film Simulation modes, including the REALA ACE, which combines faithful color reproduction with crisp tonal gradations for rich colors. You can choose the appropriate Film Simulation mode to match your theme or scene (similar to Selecting Film) and enjoy a wide range of color expressions.
Fujifilm X-T50 – 40-megapixel mirrorless camera
Weighing in at approximately 438 grams, the X-T50 features a back-illuminated 40.2-million-pixel X-TRANS™CMOS 5 HR sensor, an X-PROCESSOR5 high-speed image processing engine, and up to 7.0 stops of 5-axis in-body image stabilization. It is a versatile camera that combines high image quality, high performance, and high mobility.
In addition, for the first time in the series, the top cover is equipped with a Film Simulation dial, allowing users to easily switch between Film Simulation. "Film Simulation" is a key feature exclusive to Fujifilm that enables a wide range of color tones. The X-T50 also features a new round design that achieves high grip performance and a compact size.
The camera also features AI-based object detection autofocus developed using deep learning technology. Animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects, and drones can now be detected. In addition, the camera is equipped with a more advanced autofocus prediction algorithm than previous models. This makes it easier to photograph a wide range of subjects, including fast-moving cars and animals.
The X-T50 has a total of 20 Film Simulation modes, including the REALA ACE mode, which combines faithful color reproduction with crisp tonal gradations. You can enjoy a wide range of color expressions, just like choosing a photographic film based on your subject or scene.
Matsushita Lumix S9——全画幅复古风格相机
Not long ago, on the official public account of Panasonic's "Pine Shadow Club", an official video said that Panasonic will release new products at 22 o'clock on May 22. According to the continuous spying reports before, this new product may be the Lumix S9 full-frame mirrorless camera, which will be equipped with a "unique LUT function (filter button)". It uses the same 24-megapixel sensor as the S5 II, and does not have an electronic viewfinder (EVF) or L-mount.
Later, foreign media l-rumors also released Panasonic LUMIX S9 spy photos, from the appearance of this new machine is similar to the Panasonic GM1 style, but because of the use of a full-frame sensor, so the size is larger. It is reported that there will be a black, green, red, and blue body. It is equipped with the same flip screen as the LUMIX S5 II, and an 18-40mm zoom lens and a biscuit lens will be released at the same time.
