This pre-order party is now over! You can find the newly announced cameras and lenses added to the New Cameras and Lenses of 2016 Tracking page and you can check today’s pre-ordering posts using the Pre-Orders category. As of the time of writing, some of the new items do not have a pre-order option or price, but they do have product pages which is a step in the right direction.
To summarize, Nikon launched a trio of 1-inch DL-series RAWsumers, and rebooted their Coolpix superzoom naming scheme with three new A/B cameras. Sigma revealed two new Foveon interchangeable lens cameras, but surprise, they are mirrorless and use the Sigma “Global Vision” SA mount lenses. One has an APS-H sensor, the other APS-C. Ricoh added a new waterproof camera, and Sony a new 4K camcorder with a 12x optical G lens.
On the lenses front, Tamron added two new stabilized full frame primes, a 85mm f1.8 and a 90mm f2.8 for Canon, Nikon and Sony DSLR mounts. Also coming is a Tamron console so photographers can update lens firmware on their own (for those Tamron lenses compatible with this). Sigma launched a new DN prime and a 50-100mm APS-C dSLR lens. For Sony E-mount cameras, Sigma has a new converter that allows them to mount either compatible Sigma Canon or Sigma Sigma SLR lenses. Sigma also launched a new EF-630 flash.
