Nokishita leaked a set of pictures of the upcoming Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7 full frame mirrorless cameras, along with some of the upcoming lenses (Nikkor 24-70mm f/4 S, Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 S, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 S) and the Nikon FTZ F Mount Adaptor.
The official announcement is expected for tomorrow.
At a glance:
Leica announced the Leica M10-P. The Leica M10-P is a rangefinder camera with a 24MP full frame sensor. On the product page Leica touts the Leica M10-P as the camera to “go unnoticed in the street”, which sounds just a little weird given this is a $8000 camera that’s easy to recognise as a Leica.
If you have 8 grands to spend, you can get the Leica M10-P (two color options) at B&H Photo | Adorama | Amazon.
Leica press release:
With the Leica M10-P, Leica Camera AG presents a further model in the Leica rangefinder camera segment. Based on the M10, the M10-P offers all the technical advantages of the Leica M rangefinder system and, in details, focuses on the characteristic core features that are particularly appreciated by M-Photographers. Exceptionally discreet and concentrating entirely on the most essential camera functions, the Leica M10-P embodies the essence of the M-Philosophy and raises the traditional understatement of the M-Series to a new and even higher level.
The outstanding features of the Leica M10-P are the extremely low noise level of its shutter and the quietest shutter release of all M-Cameras ever built. This makes it the first digital M-Camera that is even more discreet than its analogue predecessors. The discreet sound of its almost inaudible shutter release makes it the ideal tool for capturing authentic photographs from the heart of life itself – especially in situations where peace and quiet are essential. The design of the Leica M10-P is as discreetly unobtrusive and minimalist as the way of working it supports. The camera has no Leica red dot logo on the front and features only discreet Leica lettering on its top plate. Its hot shoe cover in metal merges seamlessly into the design of the top plate.
With its handling concept, the Leica M10-P fulfils everything that discerning photographers expect from a Leica M and, in this traditional concentration on essential functions, follows the lead of all past and present Leica M-Cameras. A new addition is a touch-function that enables faster checking of the plane of focus in Live-View and Review mode, more convenient browsing in Review mode and faster access to all the most important functions. The M10-P also has an integrated levelling aid that enables perfect orientation of the camera and avoids the need for laborious corrections in postprocessing.
All other features, functions, construction materials and the finishing of the Leica M10-P correspond to the same high standards as those of its sister model, the Leica M10.
The Leica M10-P is available from today and is offered in a choice of black chrome and silver chrome finishes.
The rumor mill has it that Canon might announce another big white telephoto lens before Photokina 2018. The rumored lens is the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS III. This rumor surfaces a day after the rumor about the Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III.
No specifications are suggested, just that the Mark III version will focus on “weight reduction”. At the time of writing we can not confirm the announcement of the EF 600mm f/4L IS III. The Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II was released in 2011, so a replacement appears to be a bit early on schedule.
Have a look here to get an idea about what Canon might announce in the next weeks or months.

Ynon Lan is a director and animator living in New York City. In his work he enjoys combining photography, videography and different animation techniques in inventive ways. We featured several of his works in the past.
Today we feature the music video for Hit Radio Tune by The Academics. Ynon made the video using shots made with a Canon EOS 550D. Ynon shot the lead singer of the band performing the song and also made street shots in NYC. The footage was then rotoscoped frame by frame and animated based on the original shots. Everything was shot handheld, so the animation has a distinct notion of the camera movements from the original footage even though it’s drawn by hand. He also tracked the original shots in After Effects, and added the colorful geometric shapes you see in the background.
And here is the video.
What to say? If you have a creative mind you can do amazing things with an entry level camera (of several years ago).
You can follow Ynon Lan on Instagram, Vimeo, or you can visit his website. Below you can see a “making of video” of the music video.
A rumor reported at Nokishita suggests Zeiss will soon release a Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1,4 lens. The announcement should happen before Photokina 2018.
The Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1.4 has an APO Sonnar design, and is said to have already undergone field testing. It will come four Canon and Nikon mounts (sorry Sony folks). Filter diameter is 86mm.
Zeiss Otus lenses are a lot of things but not inexpensive, so expect the Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1,4 to be in the same price range as its siblings.
