Sony Product Manager Confirmed A-mount Cameras is not Dead, and a7SII Coming

Thanks for this. The “a-mount/SLT is dead crowd” must be spinning in their collective graves (clutching their e-mounts ever so tightly). Note: this IS an official Sony spokesperson . . . not a false rumor-monger like those frequently heard from in this forum.
I guess we will be getting an announcement soon enough of the a7sii. Sooner the better.
If the new A7SII could somehow maintain its low light superiority but with a 16MP sensor, it could become a breakthrough camera — giving unparalleled low light capability with a 16MP that is closer to the sweet spot used by most photographers.
I postulate that it is not out of the question for the A7SII to achieve the same performance with a higher MP count, given what we’re seeing that the A7RII has good performance at a very high MP count.
This shows once more the problem that I related to more than a year ago. Sony will produce one body after the other with small intervalls, and camera value will drop to half of the price and even less at every new annoucement. Now, there are different strategies for a customer to adopt. One is to buy another brand, the second ist to only buy the ancient model at dumping prices, the third is to use one camera untill it falls apart, the fourth is to use the camera for 7 month an sell while it has still any value. Sony, for sure is innovative and progresses very fast in camera and sensor development, so on the end one average solution is to buy a new one every 5 years, throw the old one in the trash, and simply say f..ck to what came in between. I love innovation and technological progress, but to me this emotive and technological obsolescence that Sony imposes to us is a bit overwhelming. This force consuption policy and this “we produce to end in a trash can in less than a year” system starts becomming disgusting on the end. On the other side, those that a wait any innovation in A-mount and APSC systems can just get lost where ever we think about.
It’s great for new users. Used A7’s selling for $700 on Craigslist is an awesome deal and gets new people into the Sony ecosystem. It’s a great strategy. Screw early adopters and Sony Fanboys and attract new users.
“FTWEEKEND” promo code still doesn’t work at Adorama. Tried multiple browsers and checkout methods. No dice.
