NEW CAMERA ANNOUNCEMENTS

Happy New Everyone....!!!

Canon, Nikon & Panasonic have both started 2016 with the announcement of some new cameras, and it would seem that Canon are going backwards not forward with their compact line-up. They have released 3 new IXUS cameras- the Canon IXUS 175, IXUS 180 HS & IXUS 285 HS, and a new bridge camera- the Canon Powershot SX 540 HS. The 3 new IXUS cameras have the same appearance they have had for years now, boasting a not very exciting 8,10 & 12x Optical Zooms, & a 50x bridge camera with no viewfinder. Canon is not listening to their customers/or future customers & is clearly unaware of the competition it has in this sector from other brands.

Nikon has released 2 new DSLR's- the Nikon D5 & D500. The D5 being a camera that Professional Photographers have been eagerly waiting for quite a while since rumours of its development begun. 


However, for us the new Nikon D500 looks very exciting & boasts very impressive specifications which will make it a very exciting product for photographers interested in Wildlife & Sports. The Nikon D500 is a 20.9MP APS-C CMOS Sensor, 153-point AF System (inherited from the D5), 10 Frames-Per-Second, EXPEED 5 Processing, 4K Video, WiFi & a 2359k-dot 3.2" Tilting Touch-screen LCD.

The product announced so far which we feel is the most exciting would the new Panasonic Lumix TZ100. 


Panasonic have released 2 new cameras, the Panasonic Lumix TZ80 & TZ100. The TZ80 doesnt seem that much of an upgrade from the TZ70, now boasting 4K Video & Post Focus. However, the Panasonic Lumix TZ100 could be abit of a game changer in the Premium Compact Market. No Premium Compact currently on the market has a large 10x Optical Zoom (25-250mm f2.8-5.9 in 3:2 aspect ratio) with a 1" Sensor. This new model also boasts 20.1MP, 4K Video, Touch-screen, Post Focus & a 1.166k-dot built-in viewfinder.

Yet, we are still awaiting announcements from Sony & also Fujifilm where there are hotly rumoured & anticipated products yet to come like the Sony A6100 & the Fujifilm X-PRO 2.
