It appears like the camera market is making an intensive effort to carrying mirrorless cameras to the forefront. That and they’re trying to exceed each other. Nikon just newly announced its Z6 and Z7 full-frame mirrorless cameras and its competitors are absolutely not going to take it sitting down. This week alone, we might see two latest members of that rising roster, including Canon’s EOS R and Fujifilm’s X-T3, both bearing a similar theme: mirrorless features in familiar designs.
The Canon EOS R seemingly receipts its design cues from the company’s DSLR bodies but shrunken down. Of course, there are also some changes that go outside the switch to a mirrorless technology. The 30.3-megapixel camera, for example, sports a left-right switch on the back and a sideways opening LCD screen, implicit by Nikoshita’s images.
When the EOS R launches, it will instantly be a step ahead of Nikon’s contenders because it will launch with four latest lenses in tow. That contains the RF 35 mm F 1.8 Macro IS STM, the RF 50 mm F 1.2 L USM, RF 28 – 70 mm F 2 L USM, and the RF 24 – 105 mm F 4 L IS USM. Even improved, Canon will have EOS lens adapters, counting one with a control ring.
Not to be beaten, Fujifilm will also be present its own take on the mirrorless with the X-T3. This time, the changes between the X-T2 and X-T3 are even more delicate, such as a somewhat larger grip and thinner dials. Nikoshita doesn’t have much to go on other than leaked photos but Photo Rumors does approve that the camera maker will bare all on September 6 (or 5 if you’re in the US).
It appears that camera makers are accepting a design philosophy that makes their mirrorless cameras just stand out from their DSLR counterparts. With Nikon and, quickly, Canon and Fujifilm deep into the mirrorless game, all that’s left is for Sony to reply to the new challenges.
