and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Si
thanks for keeping me up to date on camera stuff admin. have a great holiday.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to admin and the entire SAR community. Life is good.
I would be excited to see basically any of those cameras. Especially if any have setable minimum shutter speed on auto-ISO and two memory card slots.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Andrea. Thanks for all the hard work this year.
We need a Sony A7RII
Make it happen Sony!
I bet on March/ April 😉
I want none of that : your questionary is missing that option, so I didn’t vote. I want an A7 Mk 2, with just IBIS added, not bigger, neither more pixels, may be a bigger and better EVF.
Above all, I want lenses : a prime wide angle (21 or 24mm F2.8 small and light and a 135mm F2.8 would be nice)
If you want none of that, don’t vote and just STFU.
Thank you Andreas.
@all: Have a good time with your family and your beloved!
Merry Christmas, Andrea! All the best for 2015 and keep up the good work!
Sony Interview: No plan for “Medium format camera” . Focus on current format…http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/special/dcm_int_2014/20141225_681500.html&usg=ALkJrhiigTvAT3Sc8H_BQ1cciML8NcTRKQ
Happy holidays!
They didn’t have much of a plan for e-mount, but things changed quickly.
…and APS-C E-Mount Lenses !
Well, say forget. Such lenses would be too huge for E-mount body – use A-mount lenses of these types with LA-EA adaptor to imagine how would they look like if produced. E-mount is synonim to “dark zoom” and “huge lens”.
Fuji has great lenses for their APS-C system. The lenses arent that huge, at least not the prime lenses. High quality prime lenses for the A6000 are what’s keeping me from purchasing one.
their 23/1.4 is huge
Actually, they are huge, comparatively speaking.
Unless you want cheaper options. Don’t hate on most of the market.
Probably going to get a BMPCC because I think its 2K RAW looks better than all this consumer 4K.
Christmas… Bah! Humbug!
Actually I don’t want to wait ’til Christmas for my A9 🙂
Btw, merry Christmas to all friends of photography. Enjoy your holidays.
Merry Christmas all!
“None of this”. I’m only interested eventually in A7x0, A8x0, A9x0 serie. Where is the choice?
I am interested in a stabilized flying toaster. Where’s the choice?
This really needs a “none of the above” option.
I want a 24mp full frame a-mount with improved ISO performance, faster fps and most importantly, much better af coverage.
Enough with the high mp obsession. There is a reason dpreview gave a gold award to the d750.
The D750 is already hopelessly outdated, has a cheap plastic body and shutter from a point and shoot camera. Adam Brown has once again proven himself to be a gullible idiot. Or a typical Nikon buyer, not much difference between the two. 🙂
The d750 and the a7ii are made from the exact same materials.
Yes, there is. Probably not the one you think of though.
Next year is all about A9 vs 5d4 for me. So bring on some detailed rumors. I dont need more than 24MP, rather better high ISO and AF performance and a weather sealed body with a good grip.
It’s unlikely to have AF performance as good as a 5d, but high ISO should be as good or better.
It is certain that A9 will have much worse AF than 5dIV. Unless another revolution happens. And pretty much certain that Canon will have a Sony sensor in it, so high ISO will probably be the same or slightly better on Sony. The only real factor of advantage for Sony will be IBIS and hopefully much lower price point.
Merry Christmas, Andrea!
Choosing between an a99-2 and a9 (based on the rumored specs) may prove difficult for me, but an a7s-2 with ibis will be an immediate preorder. If a new la-ea slt adapter with full frame coverage is released with comparable speed to an a99-2 theI would most likely go with that for the modularity.
Dear admin: Thanks for keeping this site interesting and fun to read throughout the year. Best wished to you and your family.
Merry Christmas Andrea – all the best for 2015!!!
I notice that on my screen the 4th one down (The A99II A-mount with 46MP FF) is in bold print. I wonder why? Is SAR smart enough to know that that’s the one I voted for?
A-mount is dead, change your IP then you can vote again.
Yes it highlights what you voted for. It’s stored in a cookie on your computer when you make the vote.
Thanks for explaining that. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you, Andrea!
Merry Christmas Andrea – all the best for 2015!!! You’re doing great! Keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas, people, drama queens and trolls alike!
People, thank you for the discussions! Drama queens, thank you for the laughs! Trolls, thank you for making me feel superior!
>Trolls, thank you for making me feel superior!

Jack Touit?
How about a decent cell phone, so I only have to carry one device? Sony Xperia Z3, together with a 1″ sensor (perhaps curved) and compact f/2 prime. I don’t mind if it’s like a brick, so long as it is one device, and has sensible battery life. Bonus for following Z series, and being waterproof.
I feel like we’re so close, and yet not there.
Beacause it`s Christmass i wish a new FF camera in A6000 like body. A new Converter without SLT but with full working AF and so on. A new standart zooms .
Merry Christmas dear SAR admin and best wishes to you and your family.
ciao a tutti,
Merry Christmas to all!
None of the above: Sony A9 or A7R II E-mount with 36 FF sensor, 5 axis and super fast 4D focus.
Happy Christmas!!
Your poll for “what would you buy in 2015” is very important.
But it doesn’t work, and it has never worked on all computers, Mac, Linux, Windows, iPhone, Android, iPad. Refreshed, everything, went to different cities, different cellphone networks. Nothing works. I can’t even look at the results. What is wrong with your site?
I’ve tried multiple times each day since the poll was posted to submit my choices. Regardless of whether it is one choice, or more than one, nothing ever happens when I click “Vote” or “view results.”
So whatever results you are getting, they are totally inaccurate, because no system available to 99% of the world is able to vote in your poll. I have tried almost all of them.
Another huge problem with your site is that it is bloated into oblivion by all of the junk you have included. For instance, in order to look at the brief words in this article, a user is forced to load more than 296 requests, consuming 1,372.69 KB, and taking over 243.07 seconds, on a 12 MB/sec (125 Mbit/sec) internet connection, and the web page for this tiny article is STILL not loaded.
There are some many low-quality and snail-slow servers that are serving various portions of data into your website, that your entire site suffers as a result. You need to start from the ground up and get rid of some of the bloat, and only choose ad providers whose servers actually work. And then your website would be able to load in under one second, even if you kept all the extra junk.
Regardless, it is not right to make people wait 243 seconds in order to see four sentences and 13 checkboxes, which they can’t even vote on because the bloated website is full of errors preventing the poll from working.
Crazy. The poll finally just worked for the first time ever. I’ve tried it literally 50 or more times over the last 36 hours, and it just worked right now after I posted the above comment. What is going on?
