On September 3 we will get the next Sony product announcement. And we will see the new QX30 (30x zoom) module and the ILCE-QX1 APS-C E-mount module. I have been told the price of the ILCE-QX1 will be 300 Euro and 450 Euro with 16-50mm lens. The size is about the same of the current [shoplink 28354 ebay]QX100 (here one Bay)[/shoplink].
Reminder: On Monday/Tuesday Zeiss will announce the new Loxia lens series.

awesome!
Carry around APS-C sensor, this is actually exciting.
Presumably without a lens attached? That’s going to be pretty bulky…
better have more manual controls, physical aperture ring and physical focusing would be better 😛
optical viewfinder 🙂
The best part is that they look like first generation Maxxum lenses.

That’s supposed to be good? I’d rather they looked like Rokkors.
RAW?
Let’s hope so. Otherwise, it becomes the first interchangeable lens camera that I know of, that doesn’t support raw.
Yeah, the QX line doesn’t have a good rep for this though.
My Dynax 7 doesn’t support RAW files 😀
Ok funny guy, the first digital interchangeable lens camera. But there might have been some early DSLRs back in the 90’s that didn’t support raw, only TIFF. I’m not sure about that, though.
Ok. So put a6000 sensor, a control ring, a toggle button, shutter button and little setting LCD on there an I’m sold. Control ring can be switched between different control settings. Oh and a multi interface shoe for optical viewfinder or EVF.
So the size is a bit bigger than the qx100 without any lens attached? That’s a bit too big for snappin’ on a smartphone, init? But i guess it will come with a lots of good stuff, so… Let’s see. It would be great if we could get full manual control, raw, and a lots of automatication triggers, like sound trigger, shake trigger and so on…
even know Sony try to test the market with this. the result will be failed. no one will want to carry MORE gadzet besides the smartphone and tablet.
just straightly go with FF curve sensor smartphone and stop toying with this.
And after all these years, Canon is still testing the market with their Rebels, even though no one will buy them!
Don’t you think these new QX models prove that the concept is not a failure, and that people actually bought the first two? From what I’ve heard, they are selling rather well.
You’ve got a good point. Unfortunately, Amazon USA doesn’t give it a sales rank (probably because it doesn’t fit in a conventional camera category) but the QX
100has 185 reviews which is pretty high.Coincidently the much cheaper QX10 has 185 too. The bad news for the QX line is their overall rating is a mediocre 3 1/2 stars so I wonder if it might have peaked as a concept. Not saying Sony should dump it by any means but I’m getting the drift a lot of people liked the concept so impulse bought one then quickly permanently stuffed theirs into a sock drawer.Never mind. I’m a dope. The QX100 and QX10 reviews are combined. ;^)
cannon nikon are passive; sony active but try and error lol…
Still not interested in your QX doggy cam. Keep trying… or not.
Wow who would have thunk it? This is SO witty except for the part where you keep referencing this even though it’s a completely different camera that you are thinking of. Still rocking that A65 Earl? With a few cheap old Minolta lenses? Yeah I can see why you haven’t switched to a D810 yet despite your claims about it.
Real photographers dont need doggy cams…we photograph CATS!
Next year they will announce camera-sensor module which inserts into A or E-mount.
Let it have a tripod mount. Something like this, if close in performance to an A5100, would be quite useful.
The QX1, APS-C? That would be a game changer. But then there’s no way it sports much zoom, so maybe a fixed lens (with a curved sensor)?
It’s called ILCE-QX1, which means that it’s an interchangeable lens E-mount module.
when we can expect mini display as an accessory? 🙂
with phone is unconvenient.
There already is one. Works with pretty much any wifi enabled Sony.
Without 5-axis IBIS, z-shift and organic, stacked, curved sensor, this is DOA.
also it doesn’t cook coffee
I once read that sloths sometimes grab their own arms thinking they’re tree branches and fall to their death. That was the most idiotic thing I’ve read until your comment.
I think you need to calibrate your sarcasm detector.
It’s easy for non-English speakers to miss sarcasm.
That is actually pretty small. Doesn’t bode well for the battery life.
QX are an unconventional design, but…
in reality they only skip the screen, all others things are there
the screens as cheap as are today, dont impact price, so its all about design
but are bigger and with an odd shape (a camera shape its more portable and fit better)
if sony just snap a touch screen (like the one they use in their smartphones) at the back of QX modules, sales would be better.
all these QX are limited in use and have a limited market. what sony should really do is a cameraphone with the RX100 sensor (and maybe with fixed lens). it will be the ultimate cameraphone and will end the mobile cameras war.
A Micro USB connection is the most needed thing in the QX series. It drops connection over wifi a lot, and it’s slow. If they are making a MILC class QX, that means it sould shoot raw, and thaat would be painfully slow to transfer, because of the heavy data. Connect the QX via MicroUSB, and all the problems are gone. (And of course keep wifi on tabe for the separate livewiev trick.
