On this special “Photokina 2016” episode of the Photofocus #Mirrorless Show Scott and Marco discuss these new products and mirrorless topics:
- Marco shares his first-hand experience from the Photokina (the largest photography related trade show in the world) show floor and wrote three blog posts about it:
- Blogpost Day #1: https://photofocus.com/2016/09/21/live-from-photokina-2016-1/
- Blogpost Day #2: https://photofocus.com/2016/09/22/live-from-photokina-2016-2/
- Blogpost Day #3: https://photofocus.com/2016/09/23/live-from-photokina-2016-3/
- Fuji announced the development of the new 50 MPix GFX medium format camera. Marco had a first hands-on and talks about his impression. And he also managed to get his hands on the soon to be released XF 50mm f2 lens.
- Marco was also fortunate enough to get a 45-minute interview with Hasselblad’s product manager Ove Bengtson and talked about the new 50 MPix medium format X1D camera, the target audience and the past, present and future of Hasselblad.
- Next up is Olympus and their just announced OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera and what the Olympus managers had to say about their new flagship camera that will start shipping in late 2016.
- Panasonic’s biggest announcement was the development of the Lumix GH5 camera, that is due around March 2017 and will most likely set the new standard in terms of 4K and 6K video recording.
- Canon and Nikon were also at Photokina, but what did they show in terms of mirrorless cameras?
- Instax cameras are also mirrorless and were a hot and much-desired item at this year’s Photokina.
- Marco shares more impressions and trends like functional photographer wear from COOPH, and thoughts about hot camera bags from Peak Design, Barber Shop and Compagnon.
- Marco will be at PopUp Gulf Photo Plus in Berlin on October 29th and 30th. He was asked to interview David Hobby and Zack Arias for the Photofocus podcast during the event. And we want to turn the questions that Marco is going to ask them to our audience. Do you have a photography related question that you would like to ask David or Zack? If so, just write it in the comments section below or contact Scott or Marco directly via the links provided at the end of the show notes. And please add to whom you would like the question to be addressed to.
- We have a Photofocus Mirrorless Flickr group that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands. If you want to join just let us know through the “request invitation” button on the group and drop us a quick line there. We’ll add you to the group then. And please ask for the invite via the web browser and not via the Flickr App. The invite process via the app has not been working reliably.
- We have picked our monthly featured photographer and image from our Photofocus Mirrorless group. Our monthly Photofocus Mirrorless feature photo and photographer of the month is: Amy Hoogerbrugge’s photo titled: “March 3, 2016”
