“From the lab test results, the Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA is quite simply one of the sharpest lenses we’ve seen.”

It seems that this site is more and more like a news ans deals site instead of a rumor site. Anything posted is from Sony…. not really a rumor
don’t worry. It always comes and goes. Soon you will be hit by a storm on rumors. Trust me 😉
You do not need to explain your actions.you do a wonderful job and when you have something I know you will share it.
I hope so. Really curious about the specs of the A7000. Kinda curious if it will compete with the X-T1 and E-M1 or will it just continue to compete at IQ only. Look forward to the rumors.
I hope the “storm of rumors” is not just some bits of information just 24 hours before the official Sony press release. All those famous “sources” seem to be on an extended vacation …
Not vacation. I am continually getting info. But Sony Japan itself is spreading different info. I have the info, problem is I don’t know what part of the info is correct and what not.
Give us everything, it doesn’t have to be correct. That’s why it’s called “rumours” 🙂
@Peter just look at the posts this week and how some readers turned against the admin for the a mount year comment. It doesn’t matter that someone very reliable who posts amazing pics at dyxum made the same comment last year as well. The admin holds back here and it makes this site’s rating very reliable. @admin you do a great job.

Post comflicting rumers in SR1 pairs
Let us know both..like a multiple choice.
Agree with Barry! Give us conflicting SR1. As it is today it’s just wild guesses by us all. It’s better with YOUR wild ones.
If you do nothing til you are SR5 this will stop beeing a rumor site and turn into an discussion site.
I’d like to thank you for all the hard work of keeping this site up. I don’t think people realize how much work it is to come up with daily content for a web site and to do general maintenance.
While I’m often critical here my frustration is directed clearly at Sony. Their management of information coming out on future systems is incompetent. I can’t emphasize this to Sony’s failing marketing arm enough. If Sony was a magnificent financial success it’d be easy to write off such criticism but their long-standing financial problems prove they need to clean up their act.
Their game of providing conflicting information to you might seem clever, cute, and amusing to Sony corporate but they have to realize they’re building massive frustration with their loyal customer base and the confusion/lack of a clear roadmap is leading many new and existing customers to run off to the other shiny toy offered by the competition.
I’ll say it again. The poor sales rank of the a5000 and the massive popularity of the Fuji XT-1 prove to me Sony is completely mismanaging product rollouts. How many folks will switch to the XT-1 because they’re sick of poor information flow giving them a warm and fuzzy about e-mount releases in 2014?
If Sony thinks a couple information updates a year at major events is the way to go I’ll point out their CES 2014 presentation sucked so badly it’s unbelievable. Where’s the excitement for the a5000 they thought was so clever to walk around the stage with? I can still find more useful review info on the unreleased Fuji XT-1 than the a5000. I suspect we won’t get any decent information until a few days before CP+ and that’ll be just to entice people to follow it. But if the botched CES is any indication, CP+ will leave us with wanting more and with more questions than answers.
That sais, it’s always like that since 4 years, sometimes rumors come months earlier and sometimes only weeks earlier. It has been always like that. So if you critize me for s single apsect or moment of my work you don’t do it right. You ahve to watch my work in terms of longer period. For example the Black and White sensor and the 54 MP sensor rumor are long term rumors. And I have others to come.
I, for one, greatly appreciate all the different tidbits of information you post on this blog. Instead of checking out a myriad of news sites, I can get all the latest information, tests and samples directly here. The various deals are immensely useful too. I’ve bought tons of brand new stuff at rock bottom prices, including my beloved Nex 5n. Rest assured your work is greatly appreciated here! Indeed, please do cover the Cyber shots and low to mid-end camcorders too!
While I’m not so much interested in the deals, I am quite grateful that Andrea posts reviews of new items that I follow with interest. Saves me a lot of time finding them: some sites might not even be that easy to find in the first place via google
Alrighty, time I guess to consider the a7. Why the hell not, might as well have both systems at this point…
what other system do you have, fuji? I plan to get a fuji to go with my A7. I wish fuji and sony was one company. A fuji mixed with a sony would be very close to perfect for me. A sony A7 body with fuji jpeg and lenses……..
I was thinking the same, but with an Oly Fuji amalgamation. Oly focusing and ibis with Fuji glass…
one of the reasons olympus focus is so fast is because of the smaller sensor size. I would love to see what they can do with apsc or FF.
I picked myself up a 45mm 1.8 to see if I like the Olympus system. I still have my A77 and 16-50. However, since I bought a new A900 and now have a few Zeiss it doesn’t get used as much.
I want two systems. Alpha and all Zeiss primes- almost their. And something small and light like the A7 or an Olympus. At first I didn’t care to much about all out image quality for a mirror less but you know how that goes. Besides, I’m a Sony guy what can I say.
I like that guy’s art in the clip. But some of it is a bit questionable when he’s sitting on the sofa talking.
That was a shocker, until I saw the stuff he has on his website!
i am visiting this site daily
i am really excited for the new a mount full frame camera
hope it match my dream of having d800 resolution with 5dm3 low light capability with sony flavor of fast shooting nice video with different codac other than avchd
definitely day dreaming 😛
this sites is plauged with semi-viruses while viewing it on my android phone…please get rid of them admin
Unfortunately I can confirm hogans post. Its really annoying to have the virus popups all the time when browsing the site
I already fixed this. I have been told it’s no more here!
I like the site for the mix of rumors, deals and samples of people´s work.
You´re doing a great job, Andrea 🙂
I guess you can get any result you want – it is quite subjective.
The medium format photographer is happy about the results of the A7R vs. the Hasselblad.
The M4/3 photographer is happy of M4/3 vs. the A7R.
Dxo also reviewed this lens on nex-7. I don’t understand how it can get a phenomenal 29/36 mp resolution on the A7r while only getting 15/24 mp result on the Nex 7.
Because the NEX-7 sensor is smaller than the A7R sensor. When cropping an A7R image to match the APS-C coverage area of the NEX-7’s sensor, you get 15MP. So the NEX-7 is actually achieving a slightly higher resolution figure compared to the A7R in this case (the A7R’s score would need to be 30/36 to match the NEX-7’s result).
Also, the NEX-7’s score relative to its MP count would probably be higher were it not for the NEX-7’s antialiasing filter.
Finally some samples of the 24-70 shot at f/4 (Kasyapa). Thanks for posting the link, Admin.
