Nikon Z6 Review
The Nikon Z6 was announced in August of 2018 alongside the higher resolution Z7. Both Z-series cameras marked the company's entry into the full-frame mirrorless market, a category of camera that many Nikon shooters had anticipated anxiously for years.

The Z7 is the first iteration of a full-frame high-resolution mirrorless camera that Nikon released in August of 2018. The camera was announced together with a 24 MP sibling and three Z-mount lenses.

Nikon Z8 Wishlist
Nikon is going to release a pro-grade Z-mount mirrorless camera later this year (probably something like "Nikon Z8"), so I decided to put together a wishlist of features that I hope to see implemented. It is expected that this camera is going to feature IBIS, dual card slots, a 60...
Canon EOS R5 to Feature IBIS and Shoot 20 FPS, 8K Video
It is no secret that Canon has been pushing its development efforts hard towards its mirrorless system. The company has already pointed out that it will not develop any more EF lenses for its DSLR cameras, unless there is significant demand from its customers.
