Another new product from Panasonic is the Lumix S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 mirrorless zoom lens designed for the Lumix S9 full-frame camera. The company claims that it is the most compact and lightweight lens in its class: its diameter is just 67.9mm, length when folded is 40.9mm, and weight is 155g.
Another new product from Canon is the EOS C80 6K 35mm full frame camera. It is compatible with RF lenses and is equipped with a set of advanced features that, according to the brand, allow you to shoot high-quality video footage at a professional level.
Sony has unveiled a mirrorless camera ZV-E10 II, which, according to the company, is designed for recording video blogs - the novelty has got several shooting modes for this purpose and costs like an iPhone.
The ZV-E10 II has a 26-megapixel backlit APS-C sensor, supports detachable lenses and can be bought either separately or as a kit with the Sony PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II. The maximum video quality is 4K at 60 fps. For vlogging, there's a product demo mode where the camera focuses better on the foreground subject, bokeh mode and with cinematic effect.
