(SR5) Sony A58 will be discontinued this summer.

A trusted source told me the Sony A58 will be discontinued this summer. There is yet no info about a possible replacement. He also told me he didn’t hear about a possible A65 replacement neither.

And like I told you last week the A99 is also likely going to be discontinued. But in that case we can be 100% sure a new A99II will be announced before Photokina!

Plenty of rumors to come: I am working on RX and E-mount camera rumors too. Will share them as soon as I get feedback from more trusted sources. If you have “heard” something about the next big Sony Photokina announcements you can share me a message anonymously by clicking on that button you see on top right of the page (image below):

Sony A6000 gets the Gold Award at Dpreview.

The A6000 with Gariz case on eBay in Black (Click here), Brown (Click here), Camel (Click here) and Red (Click here).

Dpreview (Click here) posted the fulL A6000 review and writes:

The a6000 is a really solid camera and is better than its predecessor in almost every respect – anyone worried about Sony cutting corners to hit a lower price point should be reassured that it has done so intelligently. The result is a really capable camera, offering impressive image quality in both Raw and JPEG modes, plus class-leading video features. That it then does so in a small, convenient, well featured and competitively priced package is what really seals the deal for us. It’s strong in all areas and outstanding in some.

The camera therefore earned the Gold Award with a score of 80%.

(FT2) Super compact Full Frame E-mount to be anounced at Photokina.

Keep your feet and hopes on ground. This one comes form a new anonymous source so take it with a grain of salt. The sources said Sony will launch one new Full Frame E-mount camera at Photokina. And it will not be an A9 or other A7 series camera. It will be a Full Frame NEX-5 alike camera with no built-in EVF and priced very low (close to $1,000). The interesting thing of such a news is that this would be the cheapest Full Frame camera ever released and at $1,000 ( or little above) it would start to compete and eventually eat up the APS-C market share. And it would be the tiniest FF camera ever made too!

Until now trusted sources didn’t tell me about such a camera but we know that Sony patented such a camera design last year (article here).
