Canon EOS R50

Nikon claws back a piece of its market share thanks to Z8 sales

by Add Comment

It looks like Nikon might finally have gotten itself together. According to the latest report from the Japanese sales statistics collector, BCN, Nikon has clawed its way back up to being the 3rd most popular camera brand, ahead of Panasonic. Ahead of these come Sony and Canon in first and second place, respectively.

According to BCN, the sales rankings for Nikon in Japan have been bolstered largely by the release of the Nikon Z8 (buy here). The camera has proven to be extremely popular in Japan, taking Nikon much higher in the sales rankings than it’s been for a long time. Other hot sellers include the Nikon Z fc (buy here), Nikon Z50 (buy here) and Nikon Z30 (buy here).

Canon confirms EOS M system is not dead after all

by 26 Comments

Last month, when Canon announced the EOS R50, the world (including us here at DIYP) thought this was the final nail in the coffin for Canon’s EOS M APS-C mirrorless camera system. It’s been dying for a few years, with little-to-no updates and not really any word from Canon about what was happening with it. And the EOS R50 does look very much like an EOS M50 Mark II successor.

It appears, though, that the assumption was wrong. In the recent interview with Photo Trend at CP+ 2023 – the same one where Canon confirmed the EOS R1 was in development – they quite clearly stated that the EOS M system is not dead. At least, not as far as they’re concerned.

Canon pretty much confirms EOS M is dead as it announces the Canon EOS R50 APS-C mirrorless camera

The future of Canon’s EOS M system has been a bit up in the air ever since Canon introduced the EOS R in 2018. Well, now, with today’s announcement of the Canon EOS R50, Canon has pretty much confirmed what we’ve all been suspecting for a while. The Canon EOS M APS-C mirrorless camera system is dead and this is essentially the replacement for the Canon EOS M50 Mark II.

It offers some very significant advantages over the EOS M50 Mark II, though. In fact, it pretty much contains the feature set that many were hoping to see in the EOS M50 Mark II when it was announced in 2020. The resolution hasn’t changed (it’s still 24MP), and there’s still no IBIS, but it will let you shoot 4K video using the full width of the sensor – It’s actually oversampled 6K.
