Nikon Z TC-1.4x & TC-2x Teleconverters now in Stock

Nikon introduced two new teleconverters with its professional Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S (B&H Photo Video/Adorama/Amazon) telephoto zoom: The Z TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x teleconverters are designed for Nikon’s Z-series mirrorless cameras and corrected for full-frame sensors. The Nikon Z TC-1.4x & TC-2x teleconverters are now in stock and shipping at major US stores.

Nikon Z Teleconverter TC-1.4x: $546.95 at AmazonB&HAdorama.

Nikon Z Teleconverter TC-2x: $596.95 at AmazonB&HAdorama.

Teleconverters are mounted between the lens and the camera body and magnify the image by 1.4x or 2.0x thus effectively increasing the focal length of each lens by the same amount. Unfortunately lenses have to be designed to work with teleconverters and currently the Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S is the only lens which can be used with Nikon’s new TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x. But Nikon will certainly add more lenses to their Z line-up in the future which can use teleconverters.

Skylum launched the new Luminar 4 with AI Sky enhancer tool. For a limited time you get this package with a $10 discount using coupon code “CAMERANEWS” and extra Bonuses.

Canon EOS R5 to Get Full HD 120fps, and C-Log 3 in Next Firmware ?

Canon EOS R5 is rumoured to release a firmware update with C-Log3 and Full HD 120fps, in addition to lower bit rate options in RAW as well as IPB in all frame rates and codecs.  So the question; Is Canon about to add 120fps in 1080p and lower bit rate options in 8K to the EOS R5?

The Canon EOS R5  (AmazonB&HAdorama) supports high-resolution DCI 8K 30 fps raw video recording internally along with 4K recording up to 120 fps in 4:2:2 10-bit with Canon Log, as well as up to 20 fps burst shooting with an electronic shutter and up to 12 fps with a mechanical shutter.

Of course, 1080p / 120 was a feature that should have already added at the time of the EOS R5’s announcement. Think about it, the more budget friendly Canon EOS R6 supports Full HD / 120fps. It’s amazing that the EOS R5 is capable of 4K/120fps, but can’t it do 120fps at 1080p? As of now, EOS R5 specs officially only list 1080p / 60 support as maximum frame rates in Full HD.
