(SR3) Finally some A99 successor rumor. Coming mid September and has 4K recording.

A source finally managed to gather some info about the next A-mount camera. He told me that:

– A99II was planed to be released along the A7II back in November. But Sony decided to work on a more advanced version of the camera.
– The A99II is now scheduled to be announced in mid-September
– It has internal 4K recording and new sensor
– It will be launched along a new 24-105mm f/4.0 lens and a new Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 SSM.
– Still not sure if also the 135mm f/1.8 SSM will be announced among the A99II

Zeiss 24-70mm lens patent from Sony at Freepatentsonline.

Mick: “Hi. I’m a pro photographer. I’d describe myself as a working stiff. Not famous or rich but I make a living from it shooting mostly industrial and corporate photography. I used to use Canon exclusively until about a year ago and now I am using only Sony gear. I have written a blog entry about it though it’s mostly a lens focused article rather than camera focused I thought you and your readier might be interested: http://ift.tt/1dizvkb“

New Sony “foveon” alike sensor patent.

Egami spotted the next Japanese patent disclosing a Sony three layer sensor similar to Sigmas Foveon tech. It’s now many years we such kind of patent and as far as I know Sony still is not ready to launch such a sensor yet. But I am pretty sure Foveon or similar multilayer sensors could come in future because they bring some inherent advantages like:
– Every pixel captures the full color info
– On paper multilayer sensor have bigger sensor compared to Bayer sensors (with both having the same resolution).

More info: Foveon X3 sensor (Source: Wikipedia)

P.S.: Sigma uses the Foveon (3 layer) 46 Megapixel sensor on ompact cameras like:
DP1 with 28mm lens at Amazon, BHphoto and of course on eBay.
DP2 with 45mm lens at BHphoto and on eBay.
