If you think Sony is done with releasing new Full Frame E-mount camera you might be wrong! The Indonesian agency Postel registered the name of a new Sony interchangeable camera having the code “WW024382“. That sort of code was used in the past for the Sony A7 cameras. Sony could release that new model in August. No specs are known yet.
And Olympus is said to release a new firmware update for the E-M1 that adds 4K video recording. Is it really that easy? We will see it soon…

Though a very nice camera, the em1 has to justify its high price. So a 4k update would be really nice. And would prove that ony is a very serious brand, really improving existing models with great improvements, like Fuji did.
the e-m1 is still a more capable camera over Fuji in many areas.
Take a look at the progress the Magic Lantern team has made with Canon gear — even consumer gear like the 60D and it’s obvious that the feature set we get depends almost exclusively on the firmware. 16MP sensors capture more than enough detail to theoretically record 4K video, it will be curious to see if the processor is up to the task of processing all the data.

Immediately reminded me of this:

Thanks for the link! It’s too bad those fantastic-sounding lenses were shelved, but it’s good to see Sony keep plugging away.
Sony’s cameras are doing pretty well on Amazon compact system camera rankings:

If those lenses had come to the market, Sony ff could have seriously challenged Canikon. I think they are going in the wrong direction, by releasing a lot of bodies and lens mounts, and few interesting lenses.
It’s like producing very fast cars w/o large roads to drive them.
you do realize that New Camera News website is satire right (i.e. fake news)?
