This is very embarrassing . . .
this guy talking about 4K is just making me sleepy..
4K sounds like the new 3D hype. 2500X1500 retina display is enough tto make my eyes bleed already. Give me more accurate colors and inky blacks and I’m good to go. I don’t think I need an expensive 4k for that.
Sounds like 4K is really happening. I bet my next tv in 3-4 years will be a 4K one.
They killed the nex naming. Announced the a5000.
Sooooo… what’s new?
Not a-mount, apparently
It is not sending very well can I watch via another site? A5000 yuck!!!
its a5000……interesting name
It’s got the 20 megapixels sensor from the a3000 it seems. I guess that means that the Nex3 is replaced by the a3000, a5000 = low-end rangefinder body, a6000 would be a5000+ OVF and a7000/r = 24 megapixels with/without AA filter.

No smart connect – means no EVF and no external flash option (the flash is built in)
The LCD only tilts upwards – no downwards movement possible.
$600 list price

HAVE AT IT YALL

The dial is gone, a step back from the last 2 gens, just thrilling.
Ah, and from the sony site it’s got a pathetic burst, so the a7/r’s burst speed doesn’t look so bad in comparison?
The A5000 is a consumer camera… Why is it a surprise that it has consumer specs??
So a $600 (with lens) camera sucks compared to a $1600 (no lens) camera because it still shoots faster??
No, it sucks because it does 4 while it could easily do 10, it’s not like it has a mirror that flaps up and down between shots or something. I only have a 7 and don’t know about previous 5s but people say in other posts that the 5 series’ always done 10fps.
But then people say that this is actually an upgrade from the original NEX-3 series because of the lack of an EVF option and a dial, and possibly plastic instead of a metal body. If this is true then 4fps makes sense to me.
So then a successor of a 6 could be a merge of the old 5 and 6 lines so then…if it goes down this way we’re probably not getting a NEX-like E-mount FF like the old rumors may have suggested, then I’m stuck with the sluggish fugly a7r.
Worst Q&A ever. President of consumer electronics said they are moving towards C mount. WTF? And their cameras are for amateurs, proseumers and everyone in between? Not for professionals
Clearly he knows nothing about their camera business.
That sucks
Maybe its time someone bitch slapped a few Sony exec’s and told them what a PRO camera is suppose to be. Enough dodging a-mount questions you bastards. Give us a pro camera or off with their heads!
I don’t kno if its covered here but for me the FDR-AX100 just change my life. I was just about to purchase a camera this month and i will wait for this to release now. I lose the ability to change lens but for a run and gun environment which I’m put in for most of the jobs, a 4K SteadyShot Camera will beat the GH3 i was about to buy. Im gonna now get a second camera that focus on amazing photo image quality. If the formats are crap tho… sony then should just give up at that point lol.
Same here Dante. Was about to purchase an RX10 to be used primarily for video, but I was weary of the low maximum bitrate. However, sample videos posted in various forums (dvxuser, dvinfo etc) showed it rivalled high-end large sensor cameras like the C100, more so when connected to an external recorder to overcome the weak intenral codec.
Immagine my delight when the CX900 was announced, basically an RX10 inside a semi-pro camcorder body, complete with full manual controls and zoom rocker. For $1500 (about $300 more then the RX10) you gain better ergonomics and a 50mbps XAVC-S codec. It is basically an AX100 without the 4k. Aside from the price (the extra $500 do matter to me), I am afraid the 4k video will be relatively problematic as Sony will probably restrict it to the low 60mpbs bitrate. That is why the sample video for the AX100 is mainly composed of locked down, static shots. And that is why I’m leaning on pre-ordering the CX900 and not the AX100.
To this end, does anyone know for sure which bitrates will the AX100 have for 4K video?
