There is a lot of Nikon hate on YouTube for various/obvious reasons which I will not discuss here today (some of them are 1000% justified), but when it comes to picking the best landscape camera, Dpreview’s Chris Niccolls (one of the few YouTubers still worth following) thinks the Nikon Z7 II ($2,996.95) is a better choice compared to the Sony a7R IV ($3,498):

Of course, this video will not be shared online by many websites and the usual YouTube suspects will remain silent until they find another reason to predict the doom of Nikon…

The previously rumored Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams limited edition camera was announced back in February and is already sold out. The release of the other Leica Q2 James Bond 007 limited edition camera has been put on hold since the new James Bond movie was delayed because of COVID-19. According to Wikipedia, the new No Time to Die James Bond movie is scheduled for release on 30 September 2021 in the United Kingdom and 8 October 2021 in the United States. This is when we should expect the new Leica Q2 James Bond 007 limited edition camera that looks like this:

I have already reported on the new Nikon N2014 camera being registered with different government agencies.  The latest bit of information on that camera is actually very interesting – in addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the N2014 will be also equipped with GNSS (GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System. As far as I know, no other manufacturer uses GNSS in their cameras. Could the N2014 be the upcoming Nikon Z9?

The German Foto Magazin published in their August edition (available on Amazon) an interesting test comparing the IBIS of the Nikon Z7II with other mirrorless cameras. The Nikon Z7II was the best performer with perfect results up to 7 EV (they promised only up to 5 EV). Canon and Sony didn‘t reach their expectations. The Sony A9 camera actually looked disappointing (green=very good, yellow=good/OK, red=not sharp, click for larger view):
