Stop sketching a G7 X Mark IV. Canon Rumors now says the next higher-end PowerShot is a “departure” from the G7 X Mark III — and that it will not resemble the G7 series in a lot of ways.
This is a different camera from the entry-level PowerShot already in the rumor mill. Canon supposedly has five unreleased bodies coming; at least two are PowerShots.
It’s official. Ricoh has confirmed it is developing the GR IVx — the 40mm-equivalent sibling everyone expected after the GR IV.
This is not a GR IIIx with a new badge. The camera uses a newly designed 26.1mm f/2.8 lens (about 40mm full-frame equivalent) with 8 elements in 6 groups, including three asphericals. Inside, it gets the GR IV’s ~26MP APS-C BSI sensor, 5-axis IBIS, the larger DB-120 battery, and about 53GB of internal storage.

Mark the calendar. Canon Rumors now says the EOS R8 Mark II lands on September 15, 2026 — depending which side of the planet you are on.
This is no longer a vague “sometime in September” rumor. The same update also claims Canon kept the R8’s size and weight, finally added IBIS, and will ask about $1,800 for the body.

Do not hold your breath for Nikon’s next wave. Nikon Rumors says the consensus from multiple sources is that almost everything still coming from Nikon is delayed — rumored cameras, lenses, and firmware updates.
No new dates. Just a later calendar. Some of the July estimates are now expected to slide into 2027.

Scratch the 32.5MP assumption. The latest update from Canon Rumors says the Canon EOS R8 Mark II is lined up for a full-frame ~24MP CMOS sensor — not the 32.5MP chip used in the EOS R6 Mark III and Cinema EOS C50.
That is a meaningful course correction for anyone expecting the entry-level full-frame body to inherit Canon’s newest stills/video resolution platform.

Apple may have just spoiled Nikon’s next body. On the official Apple ProRes and ProRes RAW Authorized Products page (updated July 10, 2026), an unannounced camera labeled Nikon Z70 is listed next to the Z6III, Z8, Z9, and ZR.
That is not a casual mention — the Z70 shows up in both the ProRes and ProRes RAW product sections.

After months of intense speculation and industry rumors, Sony has officially unveiled the highly anticipated Sony FX5 Cinema Camera (Pre-order at B&H Photo Video/Amazon), bridging the gap between the ultra-compact FX3 and the production-heavy FX6. Geared towards filmmakers who demand high-end cinema capabilities in an agile form factor, the FX5 is now officially available for pre-order at $4,898.00.
With this release, Sony isn’t just tweaking a few minor specifications; they are bringing flagship CineAlta features—like internal X-OCN raw and Open Gate recording—directly into a creator-ready body.
At the core of the Sony FX5 is a newly developed 16.6MP full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor. This tailored resolution represents a significant upgrade for motion-centric shooters, optimizing readout speeds to drastically reduce rolling shutter artifacts while maximizing overall dynamic range.
One of the most universally requested features from the filmmaking community has finally arrived: 5K Open Gate recording. By utilizing the sensor’s full 3:2 area at up to 60 fps, editors gain massive flexibility in post-production to reframe, stabilize, or deliver multiple aspect ratios (like standard 16:9 for YouTube and 9:16 for vertical social media) from a single take.
In a move that completely redefines sub-$5,000 cinema cameras, Sony has integrated its prestigious X-OCN (eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative) 16-bit linear raw format internally. Previously reserved for top-tier models like the VENICE and BURANO, the FX5 includes highly efficient, compressed variants (LT, C1, and C2) that preserve immense color depth and highlight retention without the massive file sizes traditionally associated with raw video.
Additionally, the FX5 introduces a Triple Base ISO architecture (800 / 4000 / 12800) coupled with a Dual Gain mode. Whether you are shooting in a brightly lit commercial studio or a dimly lit run-and-gun documentary environment, this setup ensures minimal image noise and preserves over 16 stops of dynamic range across varying lighting conditions.
Powered by the next-generation BIONZ XR2 processor alongside a dedicated AI processing unit, the FX5 brings Sony’s industry-leading subject recognition autofocus to the Cinema Line. It intelligently and continuously tracks humans, animals, and birds, ensuring critical focus is maintained even when shooting fast-moving subjects wide open.
Physically, the camera retains the beloved, gimbal-friendly footprint of its predecessor but refines it significantly for professional workflows. Key enhancements include:
3.5-inch 4-Axis Multi-Angle Touchscreen: A larger, widescreen (16:9) display makes navigating the new “BIG 6” cinema UI easier and provides built-in tools like false color and waveforms.
Professional Connectivity: Dual USB-C ports, full-size HDMI, Ethernet, and proper timecode support integrate the camera seamlessly into multicam sets.
Modular Accessories: A new dedicated DVF-EL1 Electronic Viewfinder can be attached for bright outdoor monitoring, while the optional XLR-H2 Handle Unit unlocks 32-bit float audio directly in-camera.
For $4,898, the Sony FX5 is positioned to heavily disrupt the mid-tier cinema market. By answering the community’s calls for Open Gate recording, superior internal RAW formats, and a more robust physical design, it stands as a formidable tool for independent filmmakers, documentarians, and commercial creators. The inclusion of dual CFexpress Type A/SD memory card slots ensures that media management remains flexible, while the high-capacity NP-SA100 battery provides over two hours of continuous recording to keep productions moving efficiently.
Pre-orders are live now, representing a massive leap forward for hybrid and dedicated video shooters alike.
