Mirrorless Camera News

Mattias Burling is an expert at highlighting somewhat overlooked cameras from a few years ago. He believes that many of these models are not only as good as many cameras released today, you can get them for a fraction of the price.

Leica, Panasonic and Sigma announced today at the photokina show in Germany that they are forming the “L-Mount Alliance” to try to create a new lens mount standard for full frame mirrorless cameras.

The long-anticipated Fujifilm X-T3 mirrorless camera has arrived, with a host of powerful features and upgrades for shooting both still photos and video. Billed as the fourth generation of Fujifilm’s popular X-Series line, the camera is built around the company’s latest technologies for superior image quality, enhanced autofocus speed, and black-out-free burst shooting.

Alongside its new EOS R full frame mirrorless camera system, Canon introduced four new RF lenses using Canon’s new RF mount for the R camera. The four new RF lenses feature a 54mm diameter mount and a shorter back focus distance than Canon’s current DSLR cameras.

You’ve heard all the Canon rumors but in the next few hours you will hear the truth. Shutterbug is currently in Hawaii attending a special Canon-sponsored event for the press where the company will be announcing major product news.

We just returned from Japan where Shutterbug was one of a handful of media outlets from the U.S. to attend a press conference announcing the new Nikon Z-series full frame mirrorless camera system. The system, which so far includes the Z 7 and Z 6 mirrorless cameras and a trio of Nikkor Z lenses, is a new addition to Nikon’s imaging product line and, thus, includes a new production process.

Nikon introduced the new 45.7MP Z 7 full frame mirrorless camera and a trio of Z-mount lenses today and Shutterbug was one of a handful of U.S. press outlets invited to cover the launch event in Tokyo, Japan. After the press conference, we got our hands on a pre-production Nikon Z 7 and Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens and shot with it during a “touch and try” session offered to select journalists.
