On this #4 “We Shoot Mirrorless” podcast episode for July 2017, Scott and Marco discuss these new products and mirrorless topics:

• Marco shares his photo documentary “G20 Summit - Hamburg Under Siege”: https://www.marcolarousse.com/blog/2017/7/5/g20-germany-hamburg-under-siege
• Scott was a guest at This Week In Tech (TWIT) on episode #621: https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech/episodes/621?autostart=false
• CIPA camera sales numbers are up 34% year over year for May 2017.
• Leica announced the new Leica TL2 - a 24 MPix APS-C mirrorless interchangeable camera body that we discuss.
• Lensbaby announced the new Velvet 85mm f1.8 lens that comes with mounts for the following mirrorless camera systems: Sony E-mount, Fuji X-mount, and Micro Four Thirds mount.
• Hasselblad released FW 1.17.0 for their mirrorless medium format Hasselblad X1D 50c camera. The FW improves stability and operability.
• Nikon’s CEO announced that their first interchangeable mirrorless camera is in development. And it is supposed to beat the performance of existing mirrorless cameras. We share our thoughts about this announcement.
• Ricoh / Pentax seem to be in financial trouble as their core business is declining. What do they need to do to continue to be successful in the camera business?
• Lexar announced that they are pulling out of the memory card business and we discuss why we partially like and dislike this move for different reasons.
• Scott is publishing his “Eagle Monographs” book that is shipping soon and that you can pre-order here: www.ScottBourne.photography
• We have a PPN Photo Podcast Network group at Flickr (click link) that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands. If you want to join just let us know through the "request invitation" button on the group and drop us a quick line there. We'll add you to the group then. And please ask for the invite via the web browser and not via the Flickr App. The invite process via the app has not been working reliably.
• We have picked our monthly featured photographer and image from our Flickr groups. Our monthly We Shoot Mirrorless feature photo and photographer of the month is: John Morrell with his photo “A Pillar of Zen” (click link).
