Big Megapixel war: Sony 46 versus Canon 50 megapixel cameras.
There are more and more rumors confirming the High Megapixel war will tak place during the first half of 2015. And it will be a big Sony versus Canon battle. Sony should release a close to 50 megapixel sensor while Canon will also offer one (or maybe two) such cameras (Canonwatch).
I am yet not sure if it’s the upcoming Sony A9 E-mount FF that will feature that “almost” 50 Megapixel sensor. But it’s certainly going to be a hell of a rumor time after Christmas here on SAR!

Very strange: Sigma already discontinues the unreleased 150-600mm A-mount lens.
This is an incredibly strange move from Sigma. They just discontinued the 150-600mm Contemporary lens that was announced at Photokina (see here at BHphoto). The bad news here is that they only discontinued the A-mount version! If Sigma is reading this post please let us know why this happenes. Thanks!

Sony publishes the digital camera goal for 2018: Goes for ultimate speed, sensivity and resolution!
Sony launched a revised plan for 2015-2018. And in very short Sony will cut the TV and smartphone lineup and make only profitable high end stuff. At the same time Sony sees growth in Playstation and Image Sensor Business. They also published their plan for the Digital Camera business. You can donwload it as pdf here: http://ift.tt/11YOJVu.
And it clearly stands out how Sony is committed to bring the whole Alpha system to a new level. The first slide on top shows they want to stand out from the competition by going for ultimate sensitivity, ultimate resolution and ultimate speed in 2015.
Their goal is to exceed the limits of human eye:
They want to introduce features like 1000fps recording:
Have over 20 FE lenses by end 2015:
You can see many more info on their document and here below and to sum up here are the key info:
– Sony wants to push the Alpha system to the more advance premium market (RX and Interchangeable lens cameras)
– Sony sees growth in the mirrorless market but still recognizes the DSLR market will still be bigger than Mirrorless by 2018.
– Sony wants to expand the Alpha interchangeable market share at cost of the big ones (Canon/Nikon).
Overall it’s pretty clear 2015 will be an exciting year on the Sony Alpha front. and the Sony A9 which is coming soon is just the start!
There are a couple of more financial reports with some good news:
Reuters Japan: Sony revised upwards the camera sales plan for 2014. While Canon and Nikon digital camera sales are falling Sony reported a growth. While for Sony there is a decrease in numbers of sold camera the earnings are increasing. Mainly because Sony is selling much less non profitable fixed lens budget compacts but it’s gaining shares in the profitable interchangeable camera market.
Reuters: Fitch revises Sony from negative to stable.

Sony says 5 axis is very likely to be on future models too.
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
More images here (Click on it to enlarge).

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!

At last the new Atomos Shogun will start shipping on December 1 according to BHphoto (Click here). And it will ship about the same time at Adorama (Click here) too. You will need this to record 4K video with your Sony A7s. On top you can see a video made by Adorama to introduce that combo.
Another good news is that Atomos confirmed 4K Raw recording with the Sony FS700 (More about it here at Newsshooter). Newsshooter also made a first test of the Atomos on a Nikon DSLR.

New Camdiox battery grip for the A7/r/s.
SAR reader Fred (Thanks!) noticed that there is a new battery grip for the A7/r/s sold by Camdiox on eBay (Click here). That’s the second non Sony original grip alternative after the also just launched Meike grip on sale on Amazon US (Click here) and eBay (Click here).
This is the Camdiox Product Description
The is made by third party, as same as original Sony VG-C1EM battery grip. It is not from Sony, but almost same as original grip. This Power Grip is both powerful and versatile. Doubling the amount of shots that these SLR cameras can take on a single charge, the Power Grip also offers the flexibility of a secondary shutter release button for vertical shooting. It retains the tripod mounting thread as well, keeping the important ability to stabilize the camera during critical shoots.
This grip for Sony α (Alpha) iLCE-A7 / A7R / A7S completely replaced Sony original VG-C1EM Vertical Grip. This Vertical Grip also can hold two NP-FW50 Lithium batteries – effectively doubling your shooting capacity. It provides improved flexibility, not only helps steady your hand in both vertical and horizontal positions, but also provides a stable platform for shooting portraits, still-life shots and other subjects requiring vertical format.
This battery grip also provides additional controls for key functions and a shutter release that is located right at your fingertips when using the camera in the vertical position – eliminating the need for the contorted balancing act often required accessing the camera controls when shooting vertically.
– Vertical shooting
– Battery capacity doubled
– AF/MF and AEL
– User-defined C1
– Front rear control dial
– Perfect matching with camera body
Features:
1. The best choice for portrait photographs.
2. Provide a vertical grip shutter button, the shutter-lock switch, AF-lock button, AE-lock button, completely supports auto function.
Compatible With
Sony Alpha A7 / A7R / A7S
Package Included
Vertical battery grip for Sony A7 x 1
User Manual x 1
Retail Package x 1

(SR5) Good news: 5 axis stabilization works with ALL third party lenses!
Highly trusted sources (Thank You all!) confirmed the 5axis stabilization of the A7m2 works with ALL third party lenses like the lenses from the Leica M, Zeiss ZM, Konica Hexanon, Olympus OM series. Terrific news if you consider for the firts time in history those lenses will get a 4.5 stop stabilziation on a FF camera!
One of the sources wrote:
In body stabilization of the new A7II will work with all third party lenses. For lenses without electronic connections, you will need to manually enter the lens focal length. For lenses used with an electronic adapter, such as Metabones Version 4, the info is conveyed automatically to the camera and you will need to turn off any stabilization in the lens.
As you see form the images posted by Sonyshop-satouchi, Biglobo and Yagumo-Camera the 5 axis stabilization can be manually set for a long list of focal lengths!
P.S.: Sony A7m2 launch news is now reported on Sony Germany, Sony UK, Sony Italy, Sony France, Sony Australia.
