This

[@paulhancock]

Good job it was just a clip about rolling shutter and not a 'home video'...

[@grandpascuba]

Tony, I too am a former IT professional, having been a systems engineer for 45 years. And I am concerned about the prospect of merging camera and smartphone technology. You were outraged when Adobe announced that it was going to police the photos you store in their cloud , looking for illegal activity. Yet you eagerly awiait the Android OS on your camera. Android is owned by Google. Google, who voraciously squirrels away as much customer data that they can, to sell to data brokers. They certainly will have location services, so they can include that in the exif data. Those same location services will then be able to keep track of every place you take your camera and whether or not you took a photo or more while you were there. And, there is certainly many other bits of data that the android system would be able to Glean and report to the Google cloud. I’ve spent most of my life working on computers and the last thing that I need is a camera that works like a computer. I want a camera that works like a camera.

[@BABA-ws5eo]

And you can bet on them starting to charge subscriptions for using the camera just like automakers are starting to do with heated seats....etc....etc.

[@mikebrownhill4662]

I'm a simple man - all I want is Arca Swiss compatible feet on ALL newly announced big lenses - especially primes! It's not much to ask, but some of us have been asking for decades. As far as I can tell, only the Olympus 150-400 f4.5 offers this - and it's not a particularly "big" lens, nor is it a prime. I know it's a niche request, but it's also simple and much needed.

[@brucefogwell5828]

When are you going to focus on the need for camera companies to include built-in GPS systems in their mirrorless full frame cameras. Yes the Nikon Z9 has it, but that is an exception. Having a camera that supposedly can support GPS by using an add-on piece of hardware is not a good substitute because that type of connection is often problematic, e.g., it does not work well, the connection to the camera breaks easily, etc.. Anyone who travels or takes wildlife shots wants to know when and where a photo is taken and not have to deal with the extra hassle of somehow connecting the camera to some external GPS locater with all of its problems. Yes such an addition may add a bit of extra cost, but nowadays camera companies are adding capabilities to cameras which also cost money to add but will never be used as frequently as BUILT-IN GPS.

[@unclefart5527]

I've been posting this for years. I gave up. I bet we're looking at 10 dollars of hardware. Oh the shame of the Nikon GPS-1 unit. One reason I ditched Nikon 3 years ago.

[@martin9933]

For me the Sony a7V will be the most important new gear in 2025.

[@reneeschke]

[@unclefart5527]

I'd rather see them throw their ergonomics across the line in the dumpster and come up with a camera we can hold without un-knowingly changing settings.

[@Steven_Loy]

As someone of Tony's generation (I watched Carson as a teenager as well), I loved the opening bit - but Chelsea's utter bewilderment is so on point and timely!! 🤣🤣

[@falxonPSN]

Your Johnny Carson skills were on point today Tony!

[@markrossi5721]

I agree with Chelsea about the urgent need for anti-theft with tracking features being integrated into cameras (even less expensive models) in the very near future. Even entry level cameras (and many lenses) are worth enough to motivate thieves to steal them.

[@joshuadavis4730]

I remember Carnac! Good memories of when I fought to stay up late. Now I fight to go to bed early. I guess we are old...

[@DynamixWarePro]

Why there is no Panasonic predictions? What I'd like to see is Blackmagic allowing internal BRAW on Panasonic cameras, especially since Blackmagic is part of the L-Mount alliance. Maybe DJI releasing a L-Mount camera since they are also part of the L-Mount alliance. Hoping for a Lumix S1H II in 2025.

[@flightscapeaviationphoto]

The Carnack reference ... I'm ☠🤣🤣🤣🤣 --- I'm old enough to remember. Carson was hilarous

[@grahamjgreen]

If anyone made an Android-based camera, I could see it being DJI, they already use it for the controllers on their drones.

[@aps5150]

Hoping for an a7v that brings the a7R's fancy screen. Losing faith in Canon but the rumors of the R6iii look good!

[@paulhancock]

Tony is right to keep predicting/hoping for an Android-based camera. I think Zeiss talked about one but it was EXTORTIONATELY expensive and never happened. Regardless, it's the logical direction of things especially when ALL photographers start on a smartphone nowadays, and use apps... Not endless clunky menus and loads of buttons. Cameras are stuck in the past tech-wise, from the perspective of a young person. Sony could do an Alpha/Xperia collab tomorrow, maybe a new RX1 with a big rear screen, built-in editing apps e.g. Lightroom Mobile, full frame sensor and fixed lens. It would sell absolutely bucket loads but they're dragging their feet. Anyway, I'm with you Tony. It might only be me and you... But I'm with you. One day we'll see our Android camera body, hopefully before we die but it's looking 50/50.

[@hammarbytp]

I have a Galaxy camera, which is the last time it was tried, and in some ways it is fantastic, but the camera functions feel not core to the experience and you require a large screen which reduces space for physical buttons

[@truckerzachbell]

@@hammarbytp now what if Nikon would do this on a proper sports camera like the Z1, an Android powered version of the Z9?

[@Thiran]

No mention of panasonic? xD no love for my boy lumix.

[@DynamixWarePro]

I could easily be wrong but I wonder if the lack of mentioning Panasonic is potentially a hint at a new upcoming Lumix camera that they possibly had early access to and are under an embargo not to talk about it? They did mention OM Systems, even it was only like like a joke at the start.

[@andrewkeir2282]

I want the R7.2

[@HyperAI-x]

Heads up! You guys have an odd clip inserted at 18:52

[@r2junot174]

Love this. My 14 yr old nephew visited nyc yesterday - I took him through Central Park & gave him my Rx10iv which he began to use intuitively. He is brilliant & thoughtful but as a born-digital he kept asking how he could transfer his epic shots of hawks & birds to his phone. With great sorrow I explained the 19th century workflow & told him about you guys & how you keep telling companies to work this out. TL;DR: While apologizing profusely for this sad user interface failure it hit me that born-digitals are not asking for anything more than a workflow that meets the requirements for their baseline reality. It is that profound. This kid is not spoiled & the kids in his school have started an actual camera club. (not like retro expensive film, that's for undergrads maybe). There could be a renaissance of point & shoots if the CEOs would listen to kids who are being held back w/this in a wretched way. You guys helped me see this & recognize the significance of my nephew's user experience. Btw getting him your book. Happy New Year guys! Pls keep making the best content ever.

[@PJ-om2wq]

Will Nikon make an FTZ adapter that works properly with AF-D lenses?

[@Calispeedboi]

Probably never. They don’t service the D lenses anymore and want us to buy new

[@qizhang5042]

Take a look at Sony's list of CMOS chips and you will know what is coming in the next decade, like a 247MP rolling shutter or 128MP global shutter camera.

[@JohnRobertsTV]

I'm looking for an updated M43 rangefinder, something to replace my old Panasonic GX9. A GX9 mark 2 with the guts of the G9 mark 2 would be great, or alternatively an OM Systems Pen F mark 2. I want the newer phase detect autofocusing and better video for those kind of cameras.

[@johndouglas1343]

How would you envisage anti-theft protections working? Something like a 'remote brick' capability to disable it?

[@JorgeLausell]

I want a Pentax mirrorless! "Dream On!"

[@corykphotography]

I've imagined this so many times. That or a Ricoh interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. Either name they want to use could step into the mirrorless world.

[@GemmaHentsch]

There’s definitely a market space for a pro aps-c body, with pre capture, 2 card slots and a stacked sensor from Sony… but I almost get the impression that they like being able to overcharge for the 6700 (which is a great camera, just overpriced as an a6400 replacement)

[@paulwyand6204]

I would like built in GPS, the chips are cheap, so why not? Perhaps it could be intagated into a cell chip to include tracking.

[@nordic5490]

Why not ? The very first thing I do to a new camera body is to disable the gps. It is no one's business where I go.

[@henkterhell1505]

I can't understand why so few camera's have GPS. Yes, it does take some power of the battery. However, built in GPS of my Pentax K-1 is very convenient for uploading to a nature data base such as obsidentify, and not having to mess around each time with my phone for recording the location. Without location data such reporting is not accepted. If privacy is an issue, it is easy to select in Lightroom removal of location data in converting RAW files.

[@iamtesting3824]

I like GPS tagging mainly to review where and when i photographed.

[@ladyethyme]

Actually kind of wish these camera companies would stop with the megapixel war. 24 to 26 is literally the sweet spot. More and it's just numbers to lure in the amateurs that think that more is better.

[@andrewhayward9428]

Can you PC & Software handle this size of photo megapixels ? Will you need to buy new Pc?

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

I just bought a DJI drone during black Friday sales last year (2023). Finally opened it a month and a half ago and flew it once and now we have all this drone craziness and I don't want to bring it out.

[@roncox3676]

Not a prediction but a wish . oh, for a left-handed camera

[@rga66]

I personally would like to see a Sony A7M5 with a stacked BSI 40 to 45mp sensor, 15fps mechanical, the A7RV's screen, AI autofocus chip, a very high definiton and very very fast EVF... 4K video up to 120 without crop and an effective IBIS... Which would be the perfect do it all camera for most people, specially with the hundreds of amazing lenses available for the system !

[@BryceShamwow]

Wouldn't that just be the A1 mark 2? Seems like they should try to match the Z8 for that one. Sensor from the A1, no mechanical shutter at all, same EVF, flippy screen from the A7R5 since everyone likes it, body from the A9M3 since everyone likes that. They should be able to do that and match the price of the Z8.

[@pentagramyt417]

Ok, now delete from that things: Stacked sensor, 4K120k without crop (probably won't be at all, maybe just 4k60 without crop), IBIS max 6.5 stops, no fully articulated screen as in A7RV/A1M2/A9M3. What will be: BSI CMOS, or Partialy Stacked sensor, ~15fps, AI chip, maybe pre-capture. Nothing else. It will be 1k$ more expensive than A7IV, around the same price as A7R5. That are my predictions.

[@BryceShamwow]

@@pentagramyt417 The thing is, the flippy screen is something that doesn't add much cost and people like it, and the Z8 is a big competitor. And if it doesn't have a stacked sensor, it can't compete with that camera. A lot of people are waiting to see if Sony is going to give their customers something good that acknowledges that the competition is beating them, and if they don't, a whole lot of their customers are just going to get a Z8 and leave the Sony ecosystem for good.

[@BryceShamwow]

@@pentagramyt417 That won't compete with the Z8. The problem is that that's what Sony needs to match at this point. It's FAR cheaper than the A1 and close to its capabilities in many ways: precapture, low rolling shutter video, 8K video, stacked sensor. If they release an A7V that has the specs you mention, it won't be worth buying. Lots of Sony owners will switch to Nikon in that case. I might even do so.

[@pentagramyt417]

@@BryceShamwow But Z8 if flagship, A7 series are ENTRY levels cameras, these are waaaay behind A9 with autofocus, and other features that are put at first place to A1/A9. Sony has A1 marked as a flagship, at second place is A9 series. You might see evolution in A7-IV but as I said, A7 is just hybrid camera, for something like pro-hobbysts. A7-5 will be the level of Z6III or R5II

[@JohnDoranski]

Since I only starting watching in July 2024, it was fun listening to what was happening back at the end of 2023. Thanks.

[@gregdarroch1946]

Will Canon making us log in (in 2025) to Camera Connect mean we (a) will have to eventually pay to use their app OR (b) will sell our Canon gear and take up a different supplier?

[@joeyslaptop]

Also, is there that big of a difference between a 100 MP photo from a single slow camera vs a pixel-shifted series if the pixel-shifted series could be taken at roughly the same speed?

[@jakobjohannsson1045]

What do you predict for Hasselblad? X3D in 2025? Will we finally get eye detection or will we get that via firmware update for X2D?

[@trevorsneath4665]

Canon won't release an APS/c with a sensor to deal with rolling shutter. They only put out APS/c cameras because there's a market for them and other companies would get the sales if they don't. But they don't see them as serious photographers otherwise there would be serious APS/c lenses. Show me an L series APS/c lens, or full water proof one and I will start to believe it's possible.

[@truckerzachbell]

@@trevorsneath4665 so you don't think there will be an R7 Mark II with a global shutter? Just remember both Canon and Olympus put a so-called "digital teleconverter" (1.6x Crop Mode as Canon calls it) right into their bodies... And this is especially useful on the full frame R system models. So a full frame body like an R8 can function like an APS-C camera in situations where you need a little more perceived reach, but not a bunch. Now I would like to see some more APS-C lenses. A weather sealed RF-S 18-200 superzoom and a couple of series L RF-S lenses would greatly enhance Canon's line. These would go great with an R7 Mark II.

[@trevorsneath4665]

@@truckerzachbellPutting an APS/c framing into full frame is just a bit of coding to turn off the take from some sensors around the sides of the sensor. They didn't 'put' anything in, they just removed some information. I think there'll be MkII's of the 7 and 10 because they are running out of single digits to use as names. I just don't think we'll see a stacked sensor in APS/c. I may be wrong and I'd be happy to be so, but Canon famously don't give us APS/c users anything like the quality of their L series lenses. If they had wanted to they could have done this with dslr cameras.

[@photogenic2010]

nothing about Panasonic? ... may be they made the perfect camera and broke the mold ? 🙂 The S5xii has most of the features of the industry standard of a RED, with Fans, SSD record/playback. + Raw, best IBIS, reliability and 100 mpix photos. It also beats the other competitors in terms of over - and under - exposure recovery, bit to mention other Panasonic-exclusive features. More serious photo/ video experts have one, but no one is talking about it. that is opportunities missed all round.

[@HitnRunTony]

I don’t want them to release a Canon R6 Mark III, because I just brought the Mark II this year 😂 But I would jump on a retro Canon camera

[@warrickcoe5576]

If I wanted 100mp I would just buy a medium format camera. I hope the manufacturers realize the real race is connectivity with other devices not MP or ISO performance. Also when are camera companies going to realize they can make lots of money if they sell loads of accessories that sync perfectly with their camera systems. Sony and DJI have done this with mics and flashes, come on other manufacturers, this is the standard.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

If Hasselblad would release a proper digital x-pan i would literally loose my mind.

[@Mamo878]

A better prediction would be if DJI will even exist in the USA in 2025.

[@psills]

Hasselblad 907X & CFV 150C with in-body stabilization!

[@kevinrtres]

Sony A7V with 4K60p, 6K60p, 8K30p and ability to switch seamlessly between taking photos and recording videos because that is what is increasingly being required in wedding (and commercial!) photography - in fact we could just skip the "wedding photography" term and move onto WEDDING IMAGING/RECORDING done by a wedding RECORDER person or persons. Of course all the already released tech like the improved body, new function buttons, new LCD movements, AI AF stuff, AI computational stuff, improved EV, very low rolling shutter.

[@aviatorman8]

What we need is computational photography. Why can’t we get a brilliant JPG straight out of camera at 500 mm in 2025? No excuse 😡

[@PrimalVarietyYTC]

Update Firmware on the R6 II to be able to have the ability (if you wanted to use it) for Flash while using focus bracketing. Not sure if it is possible. I know OM Systems has the ability. I never was interested in Marco, but the last few months man I really do like getting out in nature. So yeah that would be nice. I mean it is not a deal breaker, I am am not jumping ship to OM or anything. I just thought it would be nice.

[@StoicJason]

R5II has this so it should be possible.

[@PrimalVarietyYTC]

@ yeah I thought that the R5 II two had a firmware update so that was possible, but I wasn’t too sure. Fingers crossed that they will do it.

I use a 100PM camera since 2010. Which one is it? What comes after the 100MP race?

[@FGGiskard]

F2.5 is pretty fast for medium format right? Isn’t that something like 1.6 FF equivalent?

[@aliendroneservices6621]

What I want to see 30 mm by 30 mm sensor, Variable framing without rotating the camera body from wide 16x9 to tall 9x16, computational image stacking GPS field D rotation for Astro photography, and 16 bit per color channel.

[@911tribute8]

(1) DJI introduces its first full frame interchangeable lens mirrorless camera (2) Canon finally opens up the RF mount to third party lens manufacturers (3) Cheaper Apple Vision Pro. The reason this is significant is because we will finally start to have demand for 3D images & video, even if it takes a couple years. But we will need new lenses for these. If you have not had an Apple Vision Pro demo at an Apple Store yet, try it. It is just a matter of getting the price down before that takes over.

[@Battlem0nk]

My Predictions: Sony: A7V will release with new Bionz XRC 4x faster processor making A1II owners cry why a flagship didn't have that Fuji: Will fully update their partially revised AF algorithm but break something along with it. Nikon: Z9II won't release Canon: open doors to 3rd party lenses! YAY!...............(Psych--- nope not happening)

[@Battlem0nk]

@@truckerzachbell I suppose it is if you count APS-C lenses

[@truckerzachbell]

@@Battlem0nk yes, but the full frame Pro lenses are coming too. Tamron and sigma chose to replace aps-c glass first, to keep the cost down, and to differentiate themselves from everyone else. And don't forget you can adapt any third party or native EF glass onto any RF body, so you're still not left out in the cold, until the day comes with full frame RF glass becomes available from third-party manufacturers.

Canon: Sure Shot Pro. The R100 guts in a retro bridge camera with an 18-200 F2.8 APS-C power retractable zoom lens, manual controls, and a body that looks like the AE-1. The RP Mark II. Like the RP and R8, but with an integrated dual battery grip (2 LP-E17s), dual card slots, retro styling, a global shutter, IBIS, and 20 FPS mechanical/60 FPS electronic shutter drive modes. Acquires Olympus and OM System from Olympus Holdings and JIP. Nikon: Z1. 'Nuff Said. Sony: an XPERIA a1. A smartphone with a1 guts, the E mount, and a fingerprint sensor for anti-theft. OM System: Gets re-acquired by Olympus, then both get acquired by Canon. Post merger, Olympus launches it's first full frame camera, the OM-1 F, as the first manufacturer outside of Canon itself to adopt the Canon RF mount. Also launches OM-1 XF as a rebranded Canon R3, and offers speed booster adapters, allowing Canon RF, RF-S, and EF-M lenses on their existing Micro Four Thirds bodies. Badge Engineering at it's finest. Panasonic: Brings more Ideas For Life with their own sports camera, featuring a global shutter. Fuji: Launches their first full frame camera to compete with the RF (Canon + OM System/Olympus), E (Sony), Z (Nikon + Red), and L (Panasonic + Leica + Sigma) mounts. 2025 will be suprisingly huge and retro...

My prediction is camera makers will continue to find unfixable flaws of the smart phones and release cameras to take back the market from smart phones. If you are even a little bit good at photography, all you have to do is take a picture with a full frame camera and compare it to your smart phone to see the obvious difference.

[@PhotoTrekr]

Cheer up Tony. I knew you were trying to do Carnac. And, yes, I'm that old. Maybe I'll be interested in a 100mp A7RVI. But I really don't need it. I just want Sony to keep making smaller, lighter GM quality lenses.

[@BikeStuffPDX]

I love the Pocket 3 for some things, but am also frustrated by its limitations. Had a proper gimbal and just wouldn't use it, because setting it up is really hard and once you do, changing lenses is brutal. It also limits creativity in some ways. I really would like to either see an updated DJI Osmo with an APS-C size sensor, an A7sIV with a super IBIS like never seen before or a seemingly impossible gimbal where you enter your hardware and it just works without much fidgeting.

[@csadler]

You kind of dodged the Nikon predictions didn't you? Nikon's #1 task should be to drop the models with Expeed 6 CPU's and replace them with models featuring the Expeed 7, The Zf was a total mind blower when it hit the market, an economy priced model with an AF system as proficient as the Z9 and Z8. It also revealed just how inadequate the Expeed 6 is today. So there are 3 models in their lineup that need this upgrade. I expect the change to Expeed 7 for these models will happen quickly, because they are not selling as well as they once did. As for the Z6 II, I expect that production for that model will stop in 2025 and the inventory will get discounted deeply enough to sell out the full inventory.

Will we get a DX mirrorless version of Nikon D500, by any company, which will awe us just like D500 did back in 2016 ? With ergonomics, af tech and all the bells & whistles? And a few lenses to compliment such a DX body, say a 100-400 for wildlife.. Something which quite a few wildlife shooters want ? 🤔

Why would anyone want to shoot wildlife on APS-C?

When do you think there will ACTUALLY be full-frame 3rd party RF lenses?

Panasonic, where is the LX 100 III?

I remember Johnny Carson's skit! What a comedic legend!

What will OM system users have in 2025 ???...A OM Tough TG--8 with a FF or MF sensor...Jacques Cousteau eat your heart out...

I am hoping that Sony would release a 60 megapixels on their Alpha 7V and able to shoot 4K at 60 frames per seconds without any cropping.

I think one of them will go after Hasselblad’s lower end medium format, but cheaper. I can dream.

I would be very interested in seeing what Apple can do with a Full Frame IOs camera. I would love to see Sony produce an APS-C stacked sensor for wildlife, more than 26 megapixel, but I don’t think it will happen. I think Canon will replace the R7 with a stacked sensor.

Still can’t beat Large format analogue photography.
