(SR2) Is the new “cheap” FF E-mount camera coming in April?

Share

I got a new rumor about the new Sony entry level FF E-mount camera. The anonymous source says:

“The super cheap e mount 35mm cam will be published next month. We got a delivery in our sony store. It will ship 21 april 15“

Over a month ago we got a rumor about that camera having a price of around 799 Euro. Sony patented that FE entry-level camera in 2013 already (SAR article here). Doesn’t mean the camera is coming for sure yet. But if Sony would really announce it this would become the world’s most compact FF camera yet. Still, Sony has no real compact FE lens to offer along this one a part of the Zeiss FE 35mm f/2.8 lens.

The French site LesNumeriques (google translation here) already got the new Sony FE lenses in their test labs. They promise that detailed test will be publsihed “very, very soon“. As a heads up they said the 90mm FE macro lens is razor sharp and definitely the best between the four new lenses.

The craziest Sony QX+lens review yet: QX1 with Leitz 560mm!

Share

Image courtesy: Yodobashi.

That is probably the craziest Sony review seen lately. Yodobashi tested the Sony QX1 with a Leitz telyt 560mm lens mounted on it!

SAR reader “X” who found the review wrote me:

The lens itself is marvelous, with only cylinder shape of qx1 on the other end, the pair never looks like a camera. it is a bazooka. I think you will need to inform the security officer every time you want to use this setup. otherwise some one will think you are pointing bazooka at your subject.

To see a few image samples click over at Yodobashi and scroll down to find the pics.

The Leitz lens sells for over $1,000 on eBay (Click here).

(SR5) Small update on the FE 24-240mm announcement and other upcoming products.

Share

Had a chat with Digicameinfo and with two of my sources. Here are the key info:

1) The FE 24-240mm will ship on March 12 in Japan but the real announcement with full pricing info, preorders and specs is expected to be within the next few days (maybe this week already)!

2) There is a very high chance of another Sony product announcement coming in late March (or first week of April). And that should be for camera(s)

3) The other three FE lenses (90mm macro, 35mm Zeiss and 28mm G) price should be announced in April.

The real question is what’s coming from Sony ont he camera front. I got reliable rumor about the High Res camera, RX2 (curved sensor) and A7000. But the very same sources told me Sony Japan is keeping the release date info very secret.
