Based on the Sony RX100m2 Hasselblad just announced the Stellar II. It costs $2,395 and you can choose between the carbon fibre, olive wood, padouk and walnut editions.
This is their fourth Sony based luxury edition cameras after the Hasselblad Lunar (here on eBay), Stellar (here one Bay) and the Hasselblad HV (here at BHphoto).
First Sony A7m2 preorder options are available in Germany through Technikdirekt.de (Click here). and Hong Kong through Sony HK (Click here). I also got the news that the A7m2 will ship in Germany starting from January 15. There is also a first “cheater” price of $2,699 on eBay US.
Worldwide Sony stores are likely to start accpeting preorders within th next 24-48 hours. Stay tuned on SAR and I will give you the link as soon as they are online.
P.S.: The price of the sony a7II in Sweden will be 17500kr or 2347 dollar (Thanks P.!).
AV.watch, DC.watch and Digitalcamera followed the Sony A7m2 presenattion in Japan. And there are a couple of interesting additional informations to report:
About the mirrorless market:
- The mirrorless system camera market is growing everywhere (althaugh very slowly in US).
– Half of the system cameras sold in Japan and Korea are mirrorless (see blue bars on the image on top)
– In Germany the share now is 29%
About the A7m2 and future products:
– The A7m2 is ealsed against water drops and dust.
– 5 axis stabilization is very likely to be implemented on future models too because.
And also interesting: Half of the A7/r/s camera owners never owned a Sony camera before that camera

The video on top shows you how much the Full Frame sensor moves to stabilize the image. Quite incredible that there is enough space on E-mount to make it work!
