G7

Is this a Canon EOS R1 prototype spotted at G7 summit?

May 22, 2023 by John Aldred Add Comment

The Canon EOS R1 has been hotly anticipated for a long time. In fact, ever since Canon confirmed a mirrorless replacement for the Canon EOS 1DX III (buy here) in 2020. That camera turned out to be the Canon EOS R3 (buy here), but an EOS R1 was still on the minds of many photographers.

Canon has been very tight-lipped about what the camera may contain, but they did confirm as recently as March 2023 that it was definitely coming… eventually. The common belief is that its announcement will be timed to coincide with the 2024 Olympics in Paris. But has an EOS R1 prototype been spotted in the wild? This short clip from the G7 summit suggests that it might.

Canon will finally offer a microphone input and 4K video with the G7X Mark III

Jul 1, 2019 by John Aldred 4 Comments

In a dwindling compact camera market, the Canon G7X Mark II has proven to remain very popular – particularly amongst vloggers. It’s a fantastic little camera for what it is and has received many great reviews since its release in 2016. But many people all had the same complaint. It only shoots 1080p.

The G7X line’s major competitor is Sony’s RX100 series, and those have shot 4K ever since the Sony RX100 IV was released back in 2015. But now Canon looks to finally be catching up after Nokishita leaks specs and photos for the soon-to-be-officially-announced Canon G7X Mark III. It shoots 4K, and even has an external microphone socket!

Canon to finally add 4K video to upcoming G7X Mark III

It seems that the Canon will finally add 4K video to the G7X line in a Mark III refresh, if a post on Canon Rumors is to be believed. It’s been a long demanded feature and the sole reason why many still choose to go with the Sony RX100 models over the G7X line for things like vlogging.

CR says that they have received some specs, but that they come from an unconfirmed source. But given the specs of the previous model G7X Mark II, the suggested specs for a Mark III incarnation don’t seem too out of line.

Panasonic G7 Leaked Specs and Photos

Specs and photos of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 mirrorless micro four thirds camera have been leaked, and the most noticeable change is the design. The curves have changed to straighter lines, but that’s not the only difference.

The camera is said to offer 4K video, the same DFD autofocus technology as the GH4 and an improved electronic view finder, among other things.
