This is the VWFNDR Keirin camera concept:
"KEIRIN is a conceptual digital camera designed as a testing ground for exploring new design paradigms, seamlessly integrating hardware and software. It aims to provide an immersive shooting experience focusing on the photographic craft without distractions. Named after the Japanese word keirin 競輪 ー a bike race in a velodrome ー is the perfect name for a concept where hardware and software cycle together." (vwfndr.camera)
"The Keirin is designed around a 60-megapixel full-frame sensor with a 35mm lens. The plan is for the camera to include SSD storage and mobile connectivity so that photos can automatically be saved and backed up to the cloud. VWFNDR has also designed a proprietary magnetic expansion bay — called XPNSNBAY — that uses pogo pins to allow for peripherals like a panoramic optical viewfinder. Another clever accessory is REMOFLSH, a wireless flash unit that directly communicates with the camera’s built-in trigger. " (The Verge)

Additional information:
New DL Mount for the Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL & 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D and XCD mount for 3 medium format lenses
Anhui China, May 5, 2024 – Venus Optics, a pioneer in producing unique photo and cine lenses, announced today the addition of the DL mount for their ultra-wide 11mm f/4.5 FF RL and 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D full frame lens. Both lenses are super compact and lightweight, but still being able to deliver sharp image quality and well-controlled distortion performance, making them the ideal options for extraordinary wide drone shots.
The 11mm f/4.5 weighs only 206g with a Ø62mm filter thread and the 14mm weighs 186g with a Ø52mm filter thread. The lenses reduce the payload of the setup and thus improve the overall stability with advanced user experience. They are the ultimate professional full-frame prime lenses for FPV and drone pilots.
Additional XCD mounts for other Laowa lenses are also announced for 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift, 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift and 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D.
Both 11mm and 14mm lenses deliver an incredibly wide perspective, dynamic landscapes and enormous skyscrapers can be seen and captured with ease. Featuring a 126° angle of view, this new 11mm f/4.5 is the world’s widest rectilinear full-frame lens for DL users. The lens opens up a new dimension for creative landscape and cityscape drone shots.
Extremely Compact & Lightweight
The 11mm f/4.5 weighs 206g and the 14mm f/4 weighs 186g only. The lenses are tiny for mounting on drones, keeping a low-level flight shake when flying in the air and delivering stabilized footage at ease.
Built-in Filter Thread
Both lenses have a filter thread to provide user benefits to drone pilots. They can screw in the ND filters conveniently in different light conditions without extra filter holders, which also reduces the payloads of the drone.
Superb Image Quality
Despite the compact size of the lenses, the 11mm f/4.5 and 14mm f/4 produce excellent sharpness and contrast, ensuring high-quality aerial imagery for demanding shooting. Designed with optical excellence, purple fringing and chromatic aberration are well suppressed.
Pricing & Availability
The new DL and XCD mount lenses are available to purchase via Venus Optics official website and authorized resellers.
The US price for Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL in DJI DL mount is USD549 and Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL in DJI DL mount is USD449. Pricing varies in different countries.
The US price for Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift is USD1,199, Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift is USD1,099 and Laowa 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D is USD999. Pricing varies in different countries.

Canon reported a decline in Imaging sales that led to lower operating profit in their latest Q1 financial reports:
"As for the camera market, last year, the aggressive promotions of each company during the selling season fourth quarter expanded unit sales. As a result, we expect the market this year to be down 4% to 5.75 million units.
In the first quarter, unit sales grew, mainly driven by mirrorless cameras like the EOS R50. However, as some of the cameras that we sold in the fourth quarter of last year were still in stock in the market, net sales declined due to reduction in the number of units shipped to optimize market inventory, and sales promotion expenses to promote sell-out of mass retailers.
From the second quarter, in addition to the optimization of market inventory, through the enhancement of our lineup of cameras and lenses, we will further strengthen our EOS R system, stimulating demand for both still and moving images. And by improving our product mix through an increase in our mirrorless camera ratio, we aim to achieve sales growth of 3.7% for the full year."
