(SR3) Did Zeiss just “leak” the Sony A7rII with 56 Megapixel sensor?
Dear SAR readers, take a look at that image:http://ift.tt/1ERne2q. Zeiss says it has been shot with the Sony A7r and the Batis 85mm lens. But notice two strange things:
1) The resolution of the image is 56 Megapixel
2) The 56MP images have no camera name exif info (had been removed by Zeiss).
Now we have three possibilities:
1) Zeiss up-sized the images for some weird reason I cannot understand.
2) This is a A7II multishift created image (feature that will may be added in a future update). But it’s unlikely to be used on non-architectural shooting and without tripod (reflection in the eye shows photographer handholding the cam!).
3) Or they did shoot those images with the A7rII and then removed the EXIF info. What’s your guess?
The new A7rII is rumored to be announced between mid May and early June at last. Stay tuned on SAR!

(SR3) Few Sony A7rII info….has it a new RAW engine?
An anonymous source sent me this:
“As far as I have understood it, the A7R II is still just 36MP, with IBIS, better ISO and speed. It will come with some other features, we’ve been told :)”
And another source also added that Sony is working on a new RAW engine. It could be implemented on the new A7rII.
The A7rII, A6100 and new RX cameras will be announced within mid May and end of June in (likely) separate announcements.

Magnus: “I just saw the post about using the A7R as a sports camera and would like to share my experiences. I think it works great and regularly use my A7R with Sigma 70-200/2,8 and LA-EA4 adapter shooting floor hockey. It’s really not the fastest camera regarding auto focus and continous shooting but it works! For close up action I have my old A580 with Sony 16-50/2,8.
Here is a sample folder with pictures scaled to 4k (2160p height), most of them are ISO3200-6400:

This might be interesting too, It’s the same floor hockey team at the same arena shot with Tamron 150-600 and LA-EA4 adapter on my A7R. This combo sure gets waaay to close indoors but although its ISO6400 I think it works great:

Christian: “I got the opportunity to test my Sony NEX-5T in extreme conditions. I went for a 2:30 hour walk through the city and next to the Charles River. The temperatures were -24F (-31C) degrees with the windchill! I had to face a lot of wind when next to the Charles River, changing lenses was a challenge and quite risky for the sensor. The camera performed really well during this hike, I did not notice any change working in these temperatures. The screen, AF and battery worked perfectly well. Even if the grip is very small, I could still use it with my gloves but I must admit that it wasn’t very convenient. Against all odds, this little camera passed the extreme weather test!
