And the preorder ars up at:

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V for $428 at BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500 Digital Camera for $328 at BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).

The interetsing part is that I received a document disclosing why those 30x zoom cameras are important for Sony:

I am yet not sure but the graph is likely to show the market in Canada. Sony expects that 45% of the compact camera market will be “owned” by High Zoom cameras.

An HDR pic I made the other day with my Sony a6000 and Sigma 19mm. So far I am loving the camera. I am having troubles finding the sharpest settings for the lens though. Any tips, help are much appreciated.

When a FAKE becomes so strong that it’s hard to make it go away.

fake-amount

I want to make it 100% clear again that the A-mount strategy image posted by a commenter on SAR is 100% FAKE. And when I say 100% I mean I have proof and know for certain without any single doubt that it’s fake. I tracked back the author of the comment and he has a long history of publishing false information for fun on SAR comment system. So there is no doubt he made it up to create some buzz.

While I quickly removed the image from the comment system other sites like Petapixel, Photorumors, Dyxum, Cameraegg and so on picked up that image from the comment system without to question the validity of the “leak” taken from an anonymous(!) comment. I want to stress again that I did NOT(!) post the image as a valid “rumor” inside my own article. I contacted those sites and asked them to remove or mark the image as fake.

The issue still is that the image spread all over the web. And as I learned from my class in mass communication once an information has been spread out and magnified it becomes truth for many even if you try to dismantle it.

I ask all SAR readers who see the image posted on other sites and forums to make it clear this is a fake. If you want link back to this post if someone is interest to read the story of that fake image.

To all A-mount owners:

Sony will launch new A-mount lenses and cameras in future. I am 100% sure of that

Very important Wikileaks update info! Roadmap is 100% true. A-mount document image is 100% fake.

In the comment system of SAR someone made a bit of fun and posted a FAKE image of an FAKE Sony document saying that A-mount would be discontinued in July. I want to stress that there is no such document on Wikileaks. This has been made up by that commenter! Dear A-mount followers don’t worry. That was really a bad joke by an anonymous poster

Some of you said, well, why on the contrary the roadmap should be true. Because it can be found as an attachment on that mail of Wikileas-Sony: http://ift.tt/1yE83HC. So this is 100% real

Please spread that info on forums and other sites. I saw that plenty of people picked up the news!

–

Note for Sony: I hope Sony don’t mind me linking to the wikileaks document but I thought it would help you in that case to prove that there is no such document saying A-mount is going to fade out.
