Samsung NX500 Announced


Samsung has just announced a replacement for the NX300 in the new Samsung NX500 sporting the same sensor but a faster processor taken straight from the awesome Samsung NX1. With the new processor and new smaller, lighter design, the NX500 is set to bring the great image quality and 4k video from the NX1 to a portable design. Unfortunately this comes with the loss of a mic input unlike Canon's EOS M but similar to the Panasonic LX100 which to me is a must have on consumer video camera

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF7 Mirrorless Camera Announced


Panasonic has just taken a cue from the just released Fuji X-A2 and announced it's own upgrade with some selfie features. The new GF7 has a smaller micro 4/3 sensor packing 16MP and a new 3.0" Touch screen capable of 180 degrees of vertical rotation. The GF7 makes due with a more traditional 1080p video recording unlike the 4k recording of the LX100 though it does allow for interchangeable lenses including the 12-32mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens. 
The GH7 is available for order now - $599:

Fujifilm X-A2 Mirrorless Camera Announced


The Fuji X-A2 brings a new swivel LCD screen to it's popular camera but leaves just about everything else unchanged. That said, if you like shooting selfies, maybe the X-A2 is just the camera for you as the new 175 degree rotating screen will allow you to do just that without the guesswork. The 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OIS II kit lens has also been given a minor update though without any changes to the focal length or aperture. While I was a big fan of the original X-A1, this minor refresh may not be quite enough to be worth the upgrade. But at $549 with the lens, this camera brings a ton of features and great quality to those awesome selfies you will now be able to take. 
You can order it today or check out the older Fuji X-A1 at the discounted price while you can.

Nikon D5500 Announced


The Nikon D5500 is now here but it might not be quite the update you were looking for. When I reviewed the Nikon D5300, it was the best consumer DSLR around and apparently Nikon agrees as the biggest upgrade brings touch abilities to the screen. While Canon has had this feature for several years, this is the first Nikon touch screen DSLR which is a welcome change but likely not enough to make you want to upgrade. The good news is that now is a great time to snag the amazing Nikon D5300 on a huge sale as well. You can order the new Nikon D5500 body today for $899 or as a kit for with the lens for $999:

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens Announced

Canon has just announced a new 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens with improved design, better quality image, and a new stabilization system. These lenses are very popular and great to have because of the awesome range, great image quality, and amazing build. It is available for preorder today for $2,199 which is a great price, but I can't help but be a little more tempted by the Sigma 150-600mm lens.

Announced - Canon EOS C100 Mark II


Canon has updated the C100 camera with a new C100 Mark II featuring a now standard dual pixel AF system, higher resolution OLED display, 60fps at 1080p, as well as GPS & Wifi functionality.

While these are all welcome updates, expect image quality to be very similar and the overall camera package is almost identical before save for a new viewfinder and onboard mic. Unfortunately while this does represent an upgrade to a great camera, the minor update after 2 years in the field leaves many aspects of the C100 still behind the competition. With standard SD card slots, the C100 Mark II is limited to 1080p recording at only 24Mbps for example while other cameras can output 4k and/or 100+Mbps. However the overall ergonomics of the C100 Mark II including built in ND filters and XLR inputs are still going to appeal to many videographers. 

Check out the full details and preorder today for $5499 and availability in December:
