The new Laowa 12-24mm FE lens is now available for preorder at Venusstore (worldwide shipment) .
And this is Dpreview’s take on the new Laowa:
DxO conclusion is:
Not everyone wants large and heavy high-speed lenses, so there’s clearly an opportunity for compact high-quality primes. With such strong contenders in Sony’s lineup at this focal length, though, it is perhaps no surprise to see Sigma offering something a little different with the Sigma 90 mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary lens. Despite some slight shortcomings, many of which can be overcome with software correction, image quality is very good overall. What’s more

The Nikon Z9 is seriously challenging the A1. It’s cheaper and in some aspects it beats the A1 performance. If you hope Sony will release a new A1 in 2022 well, forget it. The A1 won’t be replaced at least before end 2023. But the camera will get some major firmware updates and possibly a new price drop too. So please let Sony know what you want to be seen on a future

Dpreview compared the two cameras and came to the following conclusion:
The Sony ZV-E10 and Nikon Z30 are very similar cameras in many respects, which makes it a little hard to choose between them.
If we were primarily shooting stills, we’d probably opt for the Nikon. The better kit zoom and smoother sharing experience with Snapbridge definitely count in its favor, as does its front-and-rear dial control

With lenses only coming during the first half of the year and new cameras to be announced during the second half. We now officially entered the second half of the year and we can start to look forward to those:
