Regardless of function, I swear to Zeus these contraptions are the least appealing looking gizmos that I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing. They are a hostile attack upon sex appeal.
Honestly, is this Q series crap everything Sony is going to give us these days?
Sony keep releasing these things, the sell number not too shabby i guess..
Sales here in the middle east would suggest otherwise regarding the “crap” Q series. I myself have the qx10 and love it (never had one dropped connection).
Am planning to buy the qx1 or qx30. So I suppose there is a market for these things.
Guess I was a little bit to impolite with my wording by expressing my personal view on this Q series. I don’t like it because for me its usage is too awkwardly.
In fact sales in Germany seems to be good, too. When my premium reseller had it in one of his showcases, I asked him who is buying this “crap”- and he replied that he is wondering too, but he sold more than hundred of it.
However I will not buy one. 🙂
keep in mind that the QX annoucement is for the IFA a consummer show that open today (mainly household products) along the new Xperia Z3.
the more specialized items for Alpha system (E&A mount) will due for Photokina in 2 weeks.
Andrea, What E mount lenses are being announced the 16-35 f4 & the 28-35 f4 or will they be announced just before Photokina
Seriously no A-Mount camera news, in three days. There are two FF A-Mounts either bring announced or launched before end of the year, and no new info.
Andrea is holding out on us.
Is it really going to get announced? Or are you just saying it?
That’s kinda why more info would be nice, last week’s A88 and A99II rumour was kind of a big deal. A follow up article or just raw info would be nice.
What a99II or a88 rumors? I didn’t really see anything on SAR for these 2 cameras apart from “the a99II might be announced 2 months after Photokina”.
Admin already told that new A-mount cam are for early 2015.
Even in InternetTime™ 3 days isn’t actually very long.
Is it true that this uses the a5000 sensor? Why not the a6000 or a5100?
they also better fix the slow connection and dropouts.
Nope, that’s the other one, the QX1
What a waste of R&D money. I’m not sure they make any money on this dumb product. If I were to guess, it’s costing Sony a boat load in losses. If they spent that money on developing more lenses, which is more profitable.
I wouldn’t call it a waste – many people here in the middle east loved the first set of lenses and it sold quite well.
I myself prefer this set up and am quite pleased with both models.
The previous QX models are selling very well and exceed the expectations. So it’s not a surprise that Sony is going to expand this product line.
actually Sony already admit that the sales on QX are well above what they expected, even if they didn’t show any figures. If they keep going I don’t think they loose cash, on the contrary.
I know so many are complaining how Sony has more system camera released than lens LoL. But keep in mind Sony imaging is doing extremely well compare to other companies. So, what ever they do, it must work for them financially! Nikon on the other hand is in some deep trouble…
Anyone have any idea how Sony decides which lenses to give the ‘G’ designation to? I know G comes from Minolta lenses, but now you see it on Cyber-shot cameras, QX cameras, phones…
Then there are lenses with good performance that you might expect would be worthy of the G designation that don’t have it.
Just curious.
Probably just marketing. If it was based on actual image quality the A-mount 70-300 wouldn’t be a G lens while the 16-50 would be :p. If anything the G or Z tags just designate the desired price point Sony would like to sell a lens at. That would also be the reason why the 1680Z is now 200€ more than the 1650 and the 70300 is still sitting at 800€.
This product makes total sense for the self-centered mobile phone user. S/he sees the mobile device as the center piece for a fullfilled recreational & professional life (both are intermingled). And if the paradigm is ‘mobile phone’, then any attachment to it follows this philosophy. This is only hard to understand for the sporadic user or the enthusiast photographer. And it is as truely idiotic as it is idiotic to base one s social life on a mobile device. It goes with the Zeitgeist, not with reason.
Ugliest thing in the world (besides being super-fiddly 3-part thing). Nobody would be caught dead with this contraption.
HAHAHA The perfect voyeur camera! The woman in the 4th picture is doin it right!
Sony needs to stop wasting time on all this dreck and release the A99II.
If you are going to bring that bulk to attach to a smartphone you might as well bring the RX100III
