(SR2) Is the registered camera the new entry level FF E-mount?


Last week I reported about the registration of a new Sony System Camera at the Indonesian agency Postel. The camera is registered with the code “WW024382” which usually defines a Full Frame camera.


An anonymous source said that this is the cheap entry level FF E-mount camera.


I am yet not sure about the rumor but like I told you before Sony indeed published a patent describing such a camera. And here is the official design:



Let’s hope the new source is right but for now keep your feet on solid ground!

New Sony A7s reviews: You knew A7s Dynamic range is damn close to the $40,000 Arri Amira?


Image courtesy: Cinema5D


Cinema5D (Click here) posted a full A7s dynamic range test (in video):



Here we tested usable dynamic range of the given cameras. With 14.1 stops the usable dynamic range of the A7S comes surprisingly close to the Arri Amira with its legendary Alexa sensor (see our full review here).

This is an extremely good dynamic range rating and is fascinating considering that the A7S is available at a fraction of the Amira’s price and is also in a completely different weight and size class. While the Amira will outperform the A7S in other tests, the dynamic range is a very important attribute to consider when working with a camera.



Gizmodo posted the full A7s review and writes:



The A7s is a great demonstration of technology powerful enough to make you forget about its flaws. The Panasonic GH4 has more tools, more options, more usability—with 4K built right in, and to spectacular effect. But the micro four thirds sensor of the GH4 offers its own compromises: low light is not very good, shallow depth of field is constrained, as is field of view. But here’s the real kicker. The A7s will literally increase the possible scenarios in which you can get a good shot, by way of low light performance. No amount of 4K, 8K, or how ever many K can accomplish that.
