Some time ago Nikon filed a “Notice of Recognition of Extraordinary Loss” and even cancelled the production of three premium compact cameras they’d already announced.
According to Tony Northrup, Canon is doing even worse than Nikon. No clue how he got this idea. While all camera companies have to tackle some issues, to me it seems Canon is doing pretty well.
The folks at The Slanted Lens posted a 10 minute video where they compare the new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with the Sony a7RII and Nikon D810.

At Nikon’s D5 presentation and press conference, the company gave some good points why a (d)SLR is better than mirrorless camera. I think there are some valid arguments in the video. The pro-dSLR talk starts around minute 8.
The Nikon D5 is the company’s new flagship, and does 4K worse than the 4 years old Canon EOS-1D C.
Among all the discussion about 4K, EOSHD’s Andrew Reid posted an interesting article where he compares the Canon EOS-1D C with the Nikon D5. The EOS-1D C was released 4 years ago, the Nikon D5 a few weeks ago.
Well, It appears the EOS-1D C does 4K better than the Nikon D5. Writes Reid:
This time it’s a win for Canon. Although it was released nearly 4 years ago in 2012 the Canon 1D C remains superior to the current Nikon D5 flagship for 4K, which I find puzzling because technology goes a very long way in 4 years. Read the review…
I always said that Canon knows how to implement 4K on a DSLR, and that they did it right. Sony does also, but you have to deal with overheating and consequent sudden shutdowns of the camera. I didn’t expect Nikon to implement 4K worse than Canon did 4 years ago. 4 years are a long time in technology.
I expect the EOS-1D X Mark II to feature 4K, as well as the EOS 5D Mark IV (or whatever it will be named). I think it is now no more a matter of rumors but just a matter of common sense. Both the EOS-1D X Mark II and the EOS 5D Mark IV simply can’t go to market without having 4K. As conservative as Canon may be, they can no longer afford to release both cameras without 4K. Don’t forget that it was here on Canon Watch where it first leaked that the EOS 5D Mark IV may feature 4K.
Tony Northrup on YouTube posted a 23 minutes video about how the new Nikon D500 compares to Canon’s APS-C flagship, the EOS 7D Mark II.
Nikon’s D500 has some impressing specs, beside having 4K on board:
Until the announcement of the Nikon D500 Canon’s EOS 7D Mark II had no real competitors, now it looks like Canon has some stuff to catch up here. Video below…
Our friends at Mirrorless Rumors broke the news with a pretty odd rumor. Nikon bought Samsung NX technology. This may be made public in January 2016, possibly at CES.
Nikon will use Samsung NX resources to launch a new professional mirrorless system. The “resources” are sensor and video tech, and CPU manufacturing. Mirrorless Rumor’s sources suggest Nikon’s priority is to become a serious competitor to Sony on the mirrorless market. Nikon will also start a strong partnership with Samsung. Samsung will keep developing and selling sensors to Nikon.
