Mirrorless Camera News

Shutterbug just returned from a trip to Thailand where we got to visit the Sony Technology factory in Chonburi, which manufactures Sony cameras, lenses and other imaging products. While we were not permitted to shoot photos or video in most of the factory, Sony did allow us to record the below clip of factory workers meticulously assembling, testing and boxing up Sony A7R II cameras.

Canon unveiled its latest mirrorless interchangeable lens camera this morning, the EOS M6, which features a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor.  The Canon EOS M6 has the same speedy Dual Pixel CMOS AF (autofocus) system as the company’s flagship mirrorless camera, the M5.

Leica is going back to the future (again) with its newest digital rangefinder, the full frame, 24-megapixel M10. With this new model, which is the follow-up to the Leica M (Typ 240), Leica has trimmed the size of the M10, making it 4mm (1/8-inch) thinner than its predecessor. Part of that size reduction is due to the fact that Leica has gotten rid of the 1080p HD movie capture mode that was available on the previous model.

Panasonic created quite a buzz at Photokina last fall by teasing a groundbreaking new flagship camera for their Micro Four Thirds system, promising a wide array of innovative pro features for both still photographers and videographers. Today, the Lumix GH5 is a reality, with the unveiling of a model that redefines what a mirrorless camera can do.

The X-T2 is Fujifilm’s second mirrorless camera with the new “X-Trans CMOS III” sensor, first seen in the company’s top-of-the-line X-Pro2 model. The X-T2 offers 24 megapixels of resolution and is Fujifilm’s first X-series camera that is able to record video in 4K resolution.

While many if not most of our readers shoot images in Raw format most of the time, there are times when you want to shoot a JPEG file. For instance, when you shoot in Raw+JPEG mode. :-)

Leica today unveiled an innovative mirrorless camera, the Leica TL, which offers an impressive array of features and a gorgeous titanium-anodized body crafted in Germany from a solid block of aluminum.
