Is the A7000 the “one more thing” from Sony?

Share

The new A7rII and new RX cameras got announced just like the leaked Sony camera roadmap “predicted”. But there is one piece of the puzzle still missing. The “A6xxx series” camera. That camera was scheduled to be released before the A7rII (according to sources) but has been delayed because of overheating/hardware issues. So it’s yet unclear if that camera will still be announced in June. Weeks ago an (usually) good source said Sony had the plan to launch that camera around mid June. This means…that week. But there is yet absolutely no 100% guarantee this will happen.

So far it’s rumored that the camera is places above the A6000 and will NOT replace it. It’s more of a NEX-7 successor and it’s likely to be named “A7000″. If the camera doesn’t get announced this month that it’s highly likely Sony pushed the release back to next Sony announcement period in September.

Rumors aside: What’s your wishlist for the A7000?

The NEX-7 tri navi controls.

“Hasselblad Lusso” already in Stock in Hong Kong. Price is around HKD40000!

Share

SAR reader Benny spotted that new Hasselblad “lusso” E-mount camera in a Hong Kong store. The luxurified A7r clone sells for around HKD40000 which is about $5,150. Not as terribly expensive as previous Hasselblad Sony clones if you consider the 24-70mm FE lens a nice box and strap are included in the final price.

Current Hasselblad Sony clones are:
Stellar (Click here), Lunar (Click here) and Hasselblad HV ($7,999 off on BH!).

Diglloyd tests the Batis lenses: “are must-haves for the serious Sony shooter”.

Share

Diglloyd (Click here) is the first blogger having the chance ot test both new Batis lenses. And his first conclusion is unmistakably favorable:

Both the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 Distagon and 85mm f/1.8 Sonnar are must-haves for the serious Sony shooter. I intend to buy my own set along with the new Sony A7R II. I suspect that the Zeiss Batis lenses will be in very high demand just as has been the case with the Zeiss Loxia lenses.

Both Batis lenses are now available for preorder in USA and Europe (UK/Germany)
Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens in US at Adorama, Bhphoto. In Eu at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2.0 lens at Adorama, Bhphoto. In EU at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
