The 61MP sensor of the new A7r IV is a first for the A7 series, and for full-frame cameras in general. Despite the impressive number of pixels the camera has to deal with, it maintains excellent speed capabilities that are only too familiar to A7 users.
But if we have to talk about speed, we can’t ignore the A9. The flagship has set a benchmark that has not yet been challenged in the full frame segment.
The R line in the A7 series has always been about resolution. After using the same sensor in the past two models (A7R II and A7R III), Sony has unveiled a full frame camera with the world’s first 61MP chip. But is there more under the hood than just megapixels? Let’s find out!
Hasselblad has announced the X1D II, the successor to the original X1D that inaugurated the brand’s mirrorless medium format system back in June 2016. The new camera isn’t revolutionary but it does improve the viewfinder and monitor resolution and promises a faster operating system.
The GFX 50s was Fujifilm’s first mirrorless medium format product, released in the same year as the X1D. The system has since expanded to include three models (the 50s, 50R and 100) but the 50s remains the most natural competitor for the Hasselblad, especially now that the Swedish brand has decided to cut the price of the X1D II to make it more competitive.
After teasing the camera for months, Fujifilm has unveiled the final specifications and price of the GFX100, the company’s new flagship mirrorless medium format camera.
This model introduces a new sensor and lots of new features, including 5-axis stabilisation, phase detection autofocus and 4K video. Some of these features are actually a world’s first in the medium format category.
The Lumix G85, otherwise known as the G80 in Europe or the G81 in Germany, is a popular model thanks to its balanced blend of functionalities. Not only does it have an ergonomic design, but it also comes with lots of useful functions including 5-axis stabilisation and 4K video, making it an ideal companion for hybrid shooting at an accessible price.
It therefore comes as no surprise that Panasonic decided to release its successor this year: the G95 (G90 in Europe, G91 in Germany). This new camera is an improvement over the previous model thanks to features such as unlimited recording in 4K and the V-log profile (now included by default), both of which make it an even more attractive choice for video.
