Camera Conspiracies about the new S5: The End of Panasonic

As usual with Camera Conspiracies take it with a dose of fun 🙂 He writes:

Panasonic S5 is not a terrible camera. It actually looks better than the S1, flippy screen and much lighter. But the depth from defocused elephant in the room rears it’s ugly head again. Panasonic is seriously trying to compete with Canon R5 R6 and Sony A7S III with this release? I know it’s an entry level camera, more inline with the Canon RP, but still. My god, contrast detection still? Why do they keep doing this to us?!

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 L-mount lens is coming this autumn

Image on top shows the front of the current Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 Canon EF lens

SAR reports:

The same sources whom shared all the correct info about Sigma lenses confirmed that Sigma has decided to postpone the 70-200mm f/2.8 FE lens launch to autumn 2020. One of the sources says the reason has to do with Sigma trying to improve the autofocus algorithm. This works very good on prime lenses but is said to not be flawless on zoom lenses. They need time to improve it.
