The Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 is a fast and relatively affordable moderate wide-angle prime lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras. Priced at £630 / $750, is this the best all-round 35mm lens for Sony Alpha shooters? Read our Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 review to find out...

It's rather an understatement to say that Canon have been less than supportive of their APS-C sensor, EF-M mount camera range. With just 8 native lenses released since the system was launched 8 years ago, there's been very little opportunity to progress beyond the slow zoom lenses that have dominated the line-up, unless you've been prepared to adapt a DSLR lens. All of that has changed, though, with Sigma's recent introduction of three ultra-bright yet affordable F1.4 prime lenses, providing a much-needed boost for EOS M owners. Read our Sigma 16mm, 30mm and 56mm F1.4 DC DN C for Canon Review to find out if they're the shot in the arm that Canon's neglected system needs (the short answer is yes)...

The Fujifilm XC 35mm F2 is the third standard prime lens that Fujifilm have released for their X-series compact system cameras.

Canon USA have announced that they will be holding a livestream, or virtual press conference, on April 20th for their "new professional imaging products and technologies".
As April 20th is slap bang in the midle of the date range for this year's cancelled NAB show in Las Vegas, it's probably safe to assume that Canon will be focusing on their cine and camcorder product lines in the livestream, which will start at 1:00pm EDT (10:00am PDT) on Monday, April 20, 2020.
They may, however, spring a surprise and also formally announce all the details about the new Canon EOS R5 professional mirrorless camera, which we saw in person last month, as well as the much-rumoured EOS R6, said to be a more affordable step-down model from the R5.
We'll all need to tune in on April 20th to find out just exactly what Canon have up their virtual sleeves.

Sony have announced that they will be holding their NAB 2020 press conference digitally in an online livestream, after the Las Vegas show was cancelled due to the spread of coronavirus.
Given the nature of the show, expect to see an obvious focus on the cine side of Sony's product range. This could possibly include the launch of the now near-mythical Alpha A7S Mark III, but we wouldn't hold even our virtual breath for too long.
Sony's NAB online press conference time will start at 9:00am PST on Thursday April 30, 2020.
