Premium compact cameras with a fixed lens such as the Fujifilm X100VI, the Leica Q3 and the Ricoh GR are currently selling like hot cakes. And today Fujifilm has announced the new GFX100RF medium format fixed lens camera. Full specs, pricing information and pre-orders can be found at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Fotokoch, WexUK.
Once again, I’d like to emphasize that Sony really missed out on this momentum. Kudos to Fujifilm for taking the risk of making a fixed lens medium format camera. I’m not sure how well this camera will sell: It lacks IBIS, it has a slow lens (28mm f/3.1 full-frame equivalent), and it’s larger than comparable full-frame fixed-lens cameras like the Sony RX1rII.
I still think that the improvement in image quality of this ‘small’ medium format sensor over full-frame is hardly noticeable in practice. That’s why I hope that when Sony enter the medium format sector, they use the much larger 53x40mm sensor instead:

However, the real highlight of this year for Sony would be the release of a new RX1 camera with an improved menu, battery life and autofocus. It has the same form factor, even the same Zeiss lens and a 61 MP sensor inside. I think that would be a real big seller, don’t you?
Sony announced the new $35,000 Ocelluss Camera Tracking System. You can preorder it now at BHphoto (Click here). If you wonder why this thing is that expensive you can read a full presentation on Explora.
On March 26 Sony will announce the new Venice Extension System Mini. One of our readers (Thanks!) shared this insight on the camera:
Sony has announced that it will release a scaled-down VENICE expansion module on March 26, 2025, designed to deliver next-generation visual content in an ultra-compact form factor. The VENICE Extension System Mini (model CBK-3621XS) has a built-in 8.6K full-frame CMOS sensor that retains the image quality of VENICE 2, but is approximately 70% smaller than the VENICE Extension System 2 (image block volume ratio). Flexibility is built into every corner of the compact design. A slim, soft, detachable cable brings greater freedom to filmmaking, while also opening up XR content creation and stitching shooting.

The PL mount adapter supports more lens selection and metadata recording. Assignable buttons and numerous mounting holes allow photographers to mount and shoot to their preferences. This compact system is ideal for handheld, gimbal, and POV shooting.
That’s all we can expect from this announcement. The next interesting announcement from Sony should come soon with the release of a new lens!

Sony just published this teaser for a new camera launch on March 26. And here are the things you have to know…let’s start with the FACTS:
THE RUMOR
A few weeks ago, I told you that Sony had postponed the launch of the Sony A7V and was instead expecting to launch another E-mount camera that is more of a ‘niche’ product. The source said it won’t be a Sony FX3 successor. I do not have specs to share yet but my hope is that it uses the same Sony A9III global shutter.
THE ONE CURIOUS DETAIL
The official Sony teaser video also contains this detail:
Now let me know in the comment system what you think this is ;)
