I’m putting my reputation on the line (again). Last year, I nailed the Nikon Z6 III and the Sony A1 II, but I also hallucinated a Sony Android camera that literally nobody else wanted. Now, it's time to look forward.
In this video, I break down exactly what is coming in 2026. We are finally going to see the Sony A7S IV, Canon is (hopefully) going to stop ignoring the retro trend, and Nikon is preparing to win the megapixel war against Sony. Plus, why "Lo-Fi" digicams and film are the only way to fight back against the flood of AI slop.
In this video:
Sony: Finally updating the A7S III? Plus, the return of the RX100?
Canon: Will we see an R3 Mark II with a global shutter? And where is the retro camera?
Nikon: The Z9 Mark III needs a mechanical shutter. Here is why.
The Industry: Why square sensors need to make a comeback for vertical video.
