Just a short note to ask for some patience to readers and sources who sent me news and rumor the last 10 days. I will post ALL I got but I need time to work on the material I received. Please keep in mind that unlike other big sites this is an amateur-hobby site. I do not work full-time here but only 1-2 hours per day on average. Thanks for your understanding 🙂
One more rumor: I am working on many A and E-mount info I got the last weeks. I repeat it again: There is an exciting event in January. Megapixel rush coming 🙂

We don’t need that much MP to make good picture, we need good cameras, that is proven by the 7s with it 12MP sensor, so no more MP ware, but better high ISO with less MP !!!
What if sony can provide both at the same time?
Chris there is room for the holy trinity of the A7 A7r & A7s, Sony have cleverly just about every base covered. Personally I want a high MP sensor for landscape work as do others.
IBIS for E-Mount, please. That’s the one single feature which could make me consider Sony for more than what I’ve got, which is a NEX-C3 with 16mm f/2.8 and some manual lenses. If I’d decide I could do without IBIS, I’d probably find Fuji more attractive, and if not, I see no alternative to staying with Four Thirds/Micro Four Thirds.
The Brand new new 16<35 has OSS …..What is that telling you ? Sony Zeiss like wasting mony on OSS you wont need in future or That IBIS is exclusive to the A mout ?
It doesn’t tell us anything, if it would then the Panasonic GX7 couldn’t even exist. Of course, for some time to come, Sony would have to continue to offer OSS for those non-IBIS cameras still in use.
It’s never too late to correct mistakes.
You dont know that lol.Have you a crystal ball ? But I will tell you what I do know .At some stage the desision was discussed that OSS was the way to go In this new Product .Thy would have Tested and consulted specialist and analysed the market and Made the decision .Its not a mistake lol.The A7 is likely samller in dimentions as it dose not have to allow space for the shock absorpion arround the sensor .
No crystal ball necessary here, Panasonic continuing to design lenses with OIS did not keep them from introducing IBIS, as the GX7 proves, which is their most attractive camera for not-too-video-centered photographers yet. By the way, cameras like the GX7 or especially the Olympus E-PM/E-PL series show how little space IBIS needs, and it wouldn’t be so much more for APS-C and probably still not excessively more for Full Frame, if done right.
But, whatever — in the long run, it is hardly avoidable that A-Mount and E-Mount will merge into E-Mount, just like Four Thirds merged into Micro Four Thirds, and before that transition can really start Sony will have to offer cameras which will let people use both E-Mount and A-Mount lenses without disadvantages to how they used them before, so IBIS will have to be offered for A-Mount lenses on E-Mount bodies. If they fail to do that, many existing A-Mount customers will find that if they cannot continue with Sony without substantial disadvantages imposed on the use of their existing gear, they can just as well check out what other manufacturers have to offer.
Just like I, as a long-time Four Thirds user, would never choose to move to Micro For Thirds and stay with Olympus if there wouldn’t have been an E-M1 (where AF was the problem, though, not IBIS).
Ok well good luck with that.Hope it all works out .I personaly cant see it .
Is it possible to have the 50MP medium format sensor in an RX2 compact body? yes or no? if yes, cool! if no, boo! lol
camera would be bigger.
Ok admin. Have your 5 minute nap, and get back to work !
Admin, have you heard any rumour, even SR1, about an A58 replacement? The A58 was announced in Feb 2013 so it’s well past an annual update without even the hint of a rumour.
It’s little things like that and photokina that make me worry about Sony’s commitment…
ZERO.
‘real’ NEX7 replacement?
RX2?
50MP FF?
APS-C compact? (Very unlikely)
Bye bye bonus
Should I wait for an update to the A7 series in January or should i buy the A7 now?
I asked that recently too and the Admin said buy the a7 series now. So that gives me the impression this isn’t an announcement about anything E mount related. That and he keeps highlighting the word BIG. I guess an A mount super high megapixel camera, or a medium format camera possibly (they have the sensor already).
Wait would mean that until it’s really at your home it will take a lot more time. It all depends from your needs. I promise you will not have to wait a long tiem to get soem rumor from me. E-mount rumros I get are very reliable. On A-mount rumors I have to recheck always if Sony didn’tf reeze or change anything in meantime 🙁
We have reached the 1 year mark of the RX10…anything about an RX10 mk2 yet?
The silent majority appreciate your efforts!
Megapixel rush means, that a99II will be crazy MP king, not high-ISO noise king. Sad.
There probably will be A99IIR and A99IIS
hope so very much
Nope, it has some kind of tech to be good at High ISO too.
OMG …….. Let me guess .as you Go to higher ISO the MP count gets lower so 45 mp Good conditions 12 pich black ect.
That would be amazing but maybe not achievable.
Any Rx10 mk2 rumors yet?
I’m looking to upgrade soon. Should I hold off for the high MP? This is seriously doing my head in. I’m checking this website constantly lol
WHEN SONY WILL DELIVER SOME EMOUNT APS 4K VIDEO NEX STYLE CAMERA?
We got Panasonic LX100, Samsung NX1, small cameras with 4K i can not use my emount lenses on them. Better to buy lx100 than wait for sony.
gh4 too has 4k i forgot. If i have choosen 4/3 now i would have a system …
Whatever happened to the rumour about a Sony Z shift camera? The autofocusing forward and backward moving sensor?
Admin
Is the new A mount high mp mirrorless?
Admin
Is the new A mount a barry sensor?
*fixed*
