It feels like there's been a flood of camera news lately! I'm covering some of the big announcements here. This is actually related to a video I'm working on right now where I was using the Canon M6 Mark II with an interesting little 10mm f/8 lens. I'll post that video review after this news recap. A discontinued Canon M6 Mark II camera with a 10mm lens attached. But speaking of Canon, let's get into their recent announcements, starting with the R50V...

To me, this happening at least feels like a good general data point to gauge economic direction that people can add to their research.  Something most reddit users wouldn't necessarily look for or have access to. I don't want to say the specific store, but my current list of affiliates are: B&H, KEH, Acdsee, Best Buy, Walmart, Adorama, Moment, and Amazon. Only of a few of those use Impact-dot-com for their affiliate program.  I posted on reddit and someone pointed out that it could be due to the retailer using any reason to cut rates, which might be true.

Let’s talk about what could happen in 2023 from the main camera and lens companies. I try to predict releases, but a lot of it is more of hoping things happen, lol. Let me know in the comments what you expect to be released in 2023 then we can compare notes throughout the year. Predictions https://youtu.be/NHsEfJNf4dE Discuss 2023 camera industry predictions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PhotographyBanzai/comments/100ej0r/2023_camera_industry_predictions/ Here are my notes I wrote up before filming the video… Canon Integration of EF-M into RF mount. We’ve seen a drop in price on existing EF-M gear. I’d expect to see them repackage additional EF-M glass into the new mount.  Will they continue to fight 3rd party lens makers or let at least Sigma and Tamron in? DJI Will they get more into the camera industry? Drones seem somewhat niche and restricted by laws. Fujifilm Where can they go from the X-H2 series?  Hoping for a refresh of the X100 series. Could they release another cam...
