Forgive my ignorance, but can someone explain the benefits that are inherent in a shorter flange distance? Is it just to make the body narrower?

Leica’s L-mount pales in comparison, but no doubt Panasonic would like to use it, as L-mount’s short 19mm flange distance would allow adaptors to Canon EF and Arri LPL lens mounts.

"Since 2014 the residents have struggled with … not being able to trust the water and the government, understandably," she said. "My administration has remained transparent, vocal and accessible since I was elected in 2015, and I know that this has helped to establish trust.

The Nikon Z7 and Nikon Z6 are designed to go toe-to-toe with high-end DSLRs, and they both have price tags that reflect that. The Z7 will be available on September 27th with a price tag of $3,400. The Z6 will hit stores in late November with a price tag of $1,996. When paired with the new 24-70mm lens, the Z7 and the Z6 will cost $4,000 and $2,600, respectively.

So in reality, that means that the likes Sony and Fujifilm are ahead of Canon and Nikon by about five years in their Research and Development for high-end mirrorless systems currently on the market. So surely, when Canon and Nikon do finally release a high-end, full-frame mirrorless system to compete with the current market leaders, it won’t just be something similar to what’s already available now with other brands? Surely it has to be something significantly better?

"We have been ahead of schedule from the very beginning. Public health and public trust has been priority one and we have never wavered from our mission to provide safe, clean drinking water to every resident in the city of Flint," Weaver told The Detroit News.

The RF mount has more pinouts than the older mounts, and there are a couple of useful mount-adapter add-ons: one for a drop-in filter and one for a control ring. The latter is cleverer than Nikon’s approach. Nikon has added programmable control rings to the lenses in the new system, but Canon’s method can enable control-ring functions such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO speed and exposure compensation, for all lenses.

The new S-Line of Nikon lenses are products that feature Nano Crystal Coating and have met a more rigorous standard of quality than ever before. The lenses are fully sealed — even the moving parts — and are resistant to both dust and drips.

There doesn’t seem to be anything here to woo people away from the competing options, and in fact it’s larger than both the Z6 and the A7 III.
