A few launches worth knowing about from the past couple of weeks, from a compact cinema-leaning body to a very large telephoto zoom. Prices and dates are the ones the sources state, in US dollars, and can change. If something catches your eye, stop in or message us and we will tell you what we can order.
Sigma fp2: a very small full-frame camera with a video focus
Sigma announced the fp2 on October 23, with sales set to begin November 11. It pairs a new 24.5 megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor with 6K open gate recording, and ProRes RAW goes to an external USB-C SSD. The body costs $2,199, and two bundles (one with the EVF-21 viewfinder, one with a 50mm f/2 lens) are $2,749 each.
Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S
Nikon's new telephoto zoom holds f/2.8 across its range and has a built-in 1.4x teleconverter that stretches it to 420mm at f/4. It weighs about 2.73 kg and has 6.5 stops of stabilization. The US price is $13,996.99, with availability expected in mid-November.

Sigma 16-300mm now covers Nikon Z
The 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary, an all-in-one zoom for APS-C mirrorless, has been available in other mounts and now comes in Nikon Z. Sigma's own schedule puts it at $769 through authorized dealers starting November 5. If you want one lens for travel and do not mind a slower aperture at the long end, this is the kind of lens it was built for.
Canon packages its C50 and C80 cinema bodies into kits
These are new bundles, not new cameras. The EOS C50 kits start at $5,098 with an RF 20-50mm F4 L power zoom or an RF 24-105mm F4 L, and the Videographer Kit at $5,999.99 adds a shotgun mic, headphones, an ND filter and a two-year protection plan. An EOS C80 kit is listed at $7,048. Canon has them going on sale in mid-November.
Sirui adds two wider Aurora primes
The Aurora 15mm f/1.6 ($599) and 24mm f/1.4 ($499) are full-frame autofocus primes that join Sirui's existing Aurora line. They launch first in Sony E and Leica L mount, with Nikon Z and Fujifilm X versions slated for the first quarter of 2027. Both are described as dust and moisture resistant.

Laowa 24mm f/2 Zero-D tilt-shift
Laowa's new manual focus tilt-shift gives architecture and product shooters 12mm of shift and 10 degrees of tilt. It comes in Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, L, GFX and XCD mounts. The article gives no price, so check with the maker or a dealer before planning around it.

One note on what is missing
You will see plenty of talk about unannounced bodies from Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fujifilm. We left all of it out until a manufacturer says something officially.
