A year ago Sony Europe site showed that image of an E-mount APS-C camera with integrated on sensor stabilization. Sony quickly removed the image as it was a fault from their designer team. Well, that “mistake” will soon become a real thing if the rumor I got is correct: The new High End APS-C E-mount camera that will feature the 5 axis on sensor stabilization used by the A7II. I am yet not 100% sure the camera will be named A7000 but what matters is that the source said it’s placed above the current A6000.
Release date is yet not confirmed but we should get it in shop by mid 2015.

dear admin, any rumors on a FF body with 4D AF?
Sounds great, but my main concern is: how much size would they have to add compared to the NEX7? Can they still maintain the rangefinder-style?
Look at the A6000 compared to the NEX-6. It is a bit thicker, but not much. The A7 II manages to get the stabilizer for a FULLFRAME sensor in a body not much thicker than the A6000, so my guess is, an A7000 will be not thicker as the A6000, as the stabilizer for APS-C is probably a bit smaller.
A7M2 has its interior shifted to the right, its weight is noticeable more than weight of A7
Though that’s presumably down to the mag body and larger grip etc…
they had to free some room for IBIS.
Who cares about a quarter inch thicker, as long as it doesn’t gets larger. I would like to have a bit more weight on them.
Great, release the stabilized bodies so we can get the unstabilized ones for cheaper!
Sensor stabilization sounds great, but what about more e-mount APS-C lenses? constant f2.8 zoom? Sony AX000 product family needs them urgently. I am getting doubts about selling my A6000 because that lack of lenses.
I agree! but I wont be switching to another mirrorless system because the Sony sensor is superior.
Sony we could use 16-50 f2.8 and 50-150 f2.8 on E-mount please!
I hate the f4s!
Good point, this eternal F4 crap that targets A7S systems gets boring. Beside that, no development for APSC lenses can be observed. What about the long time announced 20/2.8, we still wait for it. If you stick to F4, then reduce sensors to 6 mpix as well on APSC. Back to the sources, just as Jean Jacques Rousseau claims it.
what’s the connection between F4 and 6mpix?
Perhaps he means less megapickles in a big sensor = less noise at super high ISOs. So you can use an f4 lens at a useful shutter speed when the lights go down.
They definitely need a range of affordable ‘easy choice’ primes – I was quite shocked at the price of the 35/1.8 for an apsc lens…
Not sure where you live, but the 20/2.8 is definitely available in the UK.
You mean the 20mm f2.8 that has been out for years?
I have absolutely no inside information, but I assume Sony will make extremely few APS-C E-mount lenses in the future. If you look at the A-mount lens line-up, the majority of the A-mount lenses are full-frame lenses, since those also work on APS-C. I assume they will follow the same strategy for E-mount. So you’ll get new FE lenses, slightly updated versions of the existing APS-C E-mount lenses and the occasional new E-mount lens.
Yes, that means the lenses won’t be as compact as they would be if they were specifically designed for APS-C, but Sony likely feels a lot of pressure to expand the FE lens line-up, and the industry has a long history of making APS-C users buy Full-frame lenses.
I would not mind to buy a FE 24-70mm f2.8 for my A6000 although of course it would be bigger, but the thing is that right now it does not exist.
* the A mount had the film past
* with long flange focal distance of A-mount it actually makes little sense to do specific aps-c lenses. it’s the reverse for e-mount
We could easily use the A Mount lenses line-up on E mount camera if we had a performant LA-EAx adapter with a A6000 or A7II AF system alike instead of the poor A65 ( from what i read previously on this forum) one
Very nice! Combined with the speed en features of a6000 this will be my next (nex) camera!
I’m super excited and I can’t wait for February announcement! I’m hopeful for some 2.8 zooms too!
They bring us the 28/2.0 what is not a zoom, but any fast zoom like the Sigma one will be large in size. I prefer Primes, they are smaller, just I do not want them too slow as well, some 1.4 would fit me, in 20 and 24 for example.
They would be big, due to the flange size of the Sony. For some it’s not a problem though.
I’m sure
they can, and probably will. There seems a strange split in Sony thinking. It goes like this:
FF= serious user, wants SLR style VF;
APSC – SLR style VF means most basic entry level body; serious users want RF style VF.
Would be nice for us to get a choice of VF location (in both formats).
What a crap you write here, I can show you pictures reduced to normal size, 13×18 cm in 1″, 4/3, Apsc, FF, Mediem format, and then you tell me what is what, you will not find it out. Only when we work with DOF comparison on specific shots where DOF is the major goal, you will be able to see what is what. I have made house wall sized prints for publicity with a Fuji S5 or a Nikon D200, and they where just huge. All you need is a fractal magnifier soft like Printshop Pro or Blow Up and it will do what you want. If it comes to reasonable size with top notch IQ, you can’t beat APSC anyway. This new camera, A7000 or what ever they call it is what I aim at beside of a new A99 style camera that is a progression in the matter, the announced A99/2 will probably not match what I look for.
Jojo was saying it is Sony who thinks FF = Serious
show me one serious product photo/commercial company/pro who doesnt uses 43,micro43 or even apsc 🙂 there is no denying that bigger sensor is better at every aspect. sorry to disappoint your little dream
*who uses (writting mistake)
I know several famous commercial photographers who uses for work APS-C and even micro43 sensors. They uses Fujifilm X-T1, Olympus E-M1, some commercial photographers uses Olympus E-M5, Fujifilm X-E1, Sony NEX-7. They specializes in portraits, macro and street photos. If your client care about your camera, he is not a valued client.
The big size sensors usually required for landscape and billboard photography because of resolution. In other genres pictures from FF- MF-sensors and 1.5-2-crop-sensors are pretty same. The matter is work of photographer and model, and the idea of course.
Keep drinking the M43 kool aid.
don’t forget that for the same angle of view you need longer lens on larger sensor. if you want angle of view similar to 28mm lens on FF, you’d use 18mm lens on APS-C and 50mm lens on 6×6 -> you would notice the difference straight away just by having people on the edges of the frame
I hope they finale integrate a GPS in the camera. A must for using as a travel camera.
where is that written? There are more than 100 years of photography behind us without GPS. I bet that more than 85%of all photographers do not ask for it and do not use it. So, be proud to be a 15%er
Well, at least 15% need it, it’s much more people than MIC-input-starvers.
And there are more than 10 000 years behind us without people having computers. Does that mean you shouldn’t have a computer? ehm… no…
Seriously, things are improving, GPS makes life easier, other brands have it, why shouldn’t Sony have it?
Yes ! and with navigation, with POI itp …
I like the simply cammera (lens + sensor + EVF + WIFI) – this is all I need
Apparently I’m doing travel photography wrong… Maybe buying an a7 was a mistake?
That’s what people said about smart phones 5 years ago.
YES! GPS is a MUST! I’m still using my a65 mainly because of the build in GPS!
Same here, I’m still using A55 because of the GPS. I wish they didn’t remove it from A77M2, apparently Sony doesn’t want me to upgrade my camera. I’m waiting for A77M3 with GPS and internal 4K recording.

GPS in camera would be a great option, but I’d definitely settle for a properly written app from Sony that syncs a phone’s GPS with the timestamp on the camera.
And review the picture on your Sony watch
Finally IBIS for the APS-C cameras as well! And now, the only thing that is missing from Sony to make a “perfect” camera for ME (for ME! My PERSONAL opinion!) is a FF camera with IBIS with a rangerfinder design like the APS-C series. DOWN WITH THE FAUX PRISM!
Fully agree with you, I buy a FF when Sony brings us one in the NEX-7-A6-A6000 style and layout. I hate that hump and the VF in the center.
actually because it’s an EVF, the body might made to allow to stick it in various locations.
Didn’t see this when I posted, subconsciously saw your post.
Also, two sizes/resolutions could be made available. This would allow sony to up sell the EVF and allow lcd only folks to go without. Unfortunately, Sony would market this as three fife rent cameras and would disable wireless communications in the lcd only.
Same with me. I tried A7 but do not like it with centered EVF – forget about fast and good framing on action-street shooting, with nose on LCD or on your thumb, very unconvince. Only RF styled viewfinder on the side is well siuted for this using small mirrorless. Fuji X-E2, Sony Nex7 are best for it but they are not FF.
How about flat top and sides and wireless communications and you slap the viewfinder wherever you want it?
A pretend rangefinder?!?
No such thing as a “rangefinder” design. The original and first successful popular camera with a rangefinder was the bellows folder Kodak 3a. The most successful camera model of all time, the Kodak Instamatic, looks like the XE2 bodies. Endless point and shoot models look more like the XE2 body.
Might as well call it a point and shoot design. Or a flat-top box. Or the instamatic design.
Thanks for the explanation. Now you have to correct the whole Internet that keeps addressing that “box” design as a “rangerfinder” design 🙂
Rangefinder styled camera but not a rangefinder camera. For hipsters only.
Or pedantic.
EVF in the corner means relatively poor optics and size (notice all the best EVFs are ‘hump’ mounted?). Also on a FF the sensor is larger and therefore takes up more room, room where the EVF would need to reside, so in order to have it ‘humpless’ the WHOLE body would need to be taller or wider. Then you have the LCD, which is a small 16:9 unit on the NEX corner EVF models, this would be a disappointing backwards step in my opinion.
Oh and let’s not forget the IBIS mechanism now as well.
So it won’t make it any smaller and will be inferior… but people still ask for it.
I don’t know about others, but I’m not that concerned about size. I know that making it a fullframe and with IBIS, it really can’t be small. What bugs me is form factor, pure and simple.
The A7II is nearly the same size as a Pentax K5 (a DSLR). The K5 IS a small dSLR for what it is (or was; a flagship model). So, although the A7II may be a ‘big’ camera, it’s smaller than any other fullframe (IBISless!) cameras.
However, since the A7 series has that lump, it LOOKS like a dSLR! And THIS is exactly what I’d like to avoid.
If you compare the Leica M9, which is also a fullframe with an OPTICAL viewfinder (I guess that takes up some space as well) is considerably smaller than the A7II.
So, the thing is: I can’t believe it’s not possible to make a fullframe IBIS mirrorless cameras with a size somewhere between the M9 and the A7 series (considering the lump) with the ‘box’ format.
M9 is not that small. I think it looks smaller but volumetrically I doubt there is much in it between the M9 and A7 (I used A7 as no IBIS on either).
Yes it is definitely possible to make a FF in that shape, but a lot of people think it would be NEX-7 sized which just simply seems very unlikely without serious compromises.
http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5483/11504980275_2480a73d54_z.jpg
Look at this lovely design.
It is lovely but quite fat and still needs an added grip IMO.
Leica too offered a winder for certain RF cameras over the years.
Absolutely, but the camera is quite fat without grip in order to house everything in a rangefinder body, a RF ‘style’ A7 would likely end up being similar.
Well, according to Camerasize comparison, the A7II is some good 16mm taller and 23mm thicker (because of the grip AND the viewfinder piece).
Here’s the link:
http://camerasize.com/compare/#579,213
It probably is, but you are missing the point. Say you move that VF to the left, do you have a left mounted ‘hump’ or do you extend the top of the hump all the way across making the overall size bigger? Then there is the optics, do you have it stick back a little bit or do you make it clean, making the whole body fatter? That is essentially how the M9 works out by having a slightly display it is a little shorter overall.
By “overall size bigger” you mean that the camera would have, let’s say, 100mm of height (instead the current 96mm) or that it’d have to have, again let’s suppose, 88mm (which would be taller than Leica but smaller than the current form)?
Of course the overall body would have to be bigger. But I don’t think it has to be SO MUCH bigger.
Compare other cameras that are similar in shape/form but one with an EVF and other without (like Panny’s GM1 and GM3, Sony’s Nex 5 and Nex 6, Sony’s RX100 and RX100mkIII) and you’ll see that they aren’t overall much bigger.
More that bit would be about the same height as currently but essentially a lot of dead space in there as it would extend the whole way across. It may also need to be thicker as the bulk of the body would need to be extended to incorporate the optics, plus the grip needs to go on top of that. No it wouldn’t be huge, but people seem to think that the design was almost made this way spite them, where in fact it is mostly just sensible choices given the the need to lay things out in a logical manner.
I see your point but.. I still think it’s doable without the camera getting too big/thick as you say.
Maybe one day we will see that for ourselves 🙂
Also, IIRC, Sony has stated that the faux prism was a design (looks) choice rather than a practical choice. So, it COULD be done the not-rangerfinder-but-rangerfinder shape.
Maybe so, how about try mocking something up in photoshop and see how it all fits together?
Also that is comparing the A7 II, the original is a better direct comparison as then neither have IBIS, but IBIS would make this theoretical RF styled camera thicker again.
The thicker body of the Leica is all because of the 28.8mm registration (flange) distance versus 18mm for Sony E mount cameras. Leica M cameras for film are slimmer and have the perfect thickness of the main body, 32mm (excluding some protruding parts like eyepiece and rangefinder part (36mm) and ISO-dial.) and have no problem fitting the OVF. If anything the 42mm fat digital Leica M makes its OVF a compromise compared to Leica M film cameras.
that’s M (240) not M9 😉
Let me inform Sony Imaging Manager ask them put in the Holographic EVF so can get rid of the hump 😀 perfect idea!
We should have a top-down viewfinder, like the old TLR cameras! Hahahaha!
No. Why should we emulate old concepts?
Rotateable EVF like in the GX7 is better
Why? Because I was just kidding. Hence the laughter that followed 🙂
But on a serious note, I’d very much like a tiltable EVF like the GX7.
I’m guessing they’ll do something similar to the a5000/a5100 and the a7/a7ii – release the upgraded version but keep the previous version as a lower end model…
dimensions and weight ? old compact or “new” big like a6000 ? doesnt metter… i like my a7 🙂
I prefer this + a good prime lens over the unstabilized A7
That’s nice, you know there is an A7 II, shipping real product that has this right? Oh and primes.
The same IBIS in the A7000 supposed to be more effective because the sensor is lighter and there is more room to move it, which means it can handle higher amplitude of movements in all directions.
According to who exactly?
Think about it, It’s a physical common sense.
There is 1.5x times more room to move to each direction and the sensor is less than half the surface and weight of a FF sensor.
However,it will not help for subjects and objects on the move, where FF remains better.
If you’re lucky, the sensor will move so far it will be completely outside the the lens’ image circle.
LOL but seriously, use an FE lens on it, like the upcoming FE 28/2 as a normal lens + the wide angel adapter for wider view and the FE 55/1.8 as a telephoto.
What a7000?
The future one which this rumor is about maybe?
Unlikely. From the sounds of it we’re looking at an a6000 mk ii.
Yes, it should be,
But Sony may use a smaller piezoelectric motor on APSC IBIS sytem.
The advantage may be cancel out.
@duott hey fella, where are your A mount whining comments pal ? “e mount is not the same as a mount” well guess what now they will have the same stabilization as a mount, but in a smaller body 🙂 .
Actually better IS… and have since the A7 II. But he won’t change his tune.
And solid af performance with the la-ea4. All we need is a weather sealed adapter…
Agreed! This is the ONLY thing I want from Sony, slap the darn A77 II AF in a new adapter! It’s really not that hard surely!?
I don’t even particularly care about the tracking, just the AF array could be much improved.
Now this could be a great little camera, below 800 USD street price at launch.
The Canon version will sell for $1600.
More wiggle room => better IBIS?
Hope they’ll add a touch screen too.
only more wiggle room in the mount 🙂
If they don’t you can just touch yourself.
Where are the A9 rumours???
Or will Sony do another major release without SAR knowing?
All the major releases creep up on us, seems all the speculation and rumors are mostly just that.
And that’s why it’s called speculation and rumor.
Actually, all recent major releases were done with almost no prior prediction on SAR whatsoever.
Yep.
That is exactly my point; that’s why I’m asking. However, in this case we know already that the A9 (or whatever flagship) is coming soon.
The A9 is shipping next week.
Admin, please: Does the A7000 have internal 4k video or not? That is the selling point for me.
No 8K.
24fps burst with infinite buffer would be great. Only 6K, but RAW 😀
6K raw with a 65mm chip like Arri, ibis, H265, flip up EVF, 180 degree LCD, troll filter, xlr option, headphone, 14bit raw photo files, 65MP switchable to down sampled 32MP or 24MP45.000000000 ISO with no noise and SDI bnc connector at the bottom with d-tap for power. EVf that can load 3D LUT’s super ibis billion auto tracking focus points with a lytro option.
I guess no .
Because the heating issue with 4k video.
Sony release all these great mirrorless cameras but what we really need are great compact lenses to go with them.
“great compact lenses” You have to pick, and you can only pick 2 out of 3, which one are you going to drop?
WTF are you talking about??
I can see that Sony will only give us IBIS not 4k as they will protect the a A7s and their 4k camcorders -their thinking will be we don’t need to give people 4k as well at this price yet. They are not scared of Pana GX8 with 4k and poor CAF or more samsung notes 4k or NX1 sales! but a dangerous game if they do this!
They should be. Sammy is more dangerous, than people think. The NX1 is better, than the GH4 and almost as good as the A7S with the Shogun at ISO 100-1600. With the new log options, high bit-rate 1080p 120fps (which is much better than GH4 or A7S slow-mo) and sub $1500 price, it’s a killer. If Sammy releases some fast S primes (their 16-50 2-2.8 is already freackin’ good), Sony is in some deep sh.t with their crippled APS-C lineup.
Almost as good? Ahhhaaa haaa haaa .
Yep, it’s crazy good. (After the v1.2 update it will be even better.)
https://vimeo.com/114834209
Did the update increase the sensor size to FF? If not, it’s still a toy camera and not comparable to the A7s. Stop trying to convince yourself and others that it is because it’s not. It’s a POS with new firmware.
So it’s a POS because it’s APS-C? lol
The A7S is a toy compared to the Pentax 645Z then.
That’s right. Well except maybe for video. Oh and how many fast lenses are available for 645Z?
fw 1.2 adds plenty video features, has BSI sensor, which sony does not, 28mpx is a lot also, samsung has also nice bright lenses 16-50 f/2-2.8 and 50-150/f2.8, together with bsi sensor, nx1 can do the job
Good except the autofocus really sucks at times….
The A7S really only comes into its own at or above its SLOG-2 base exposure setting, in these light levels the GH4 is basically ceasing to be of any further value. However, Samsung are certainly the company to pay future notice of.
The Sammy is easily better than the GH4, but they are both really overpriced junk, full of quibbles, unresponsive, rather useless as photo tools.
Yes: I like the NX1 – I hope it pushes the other manufacturers
In this time, the consumer 4K-video recording is far from ideal. You need a very fast and hi-capacity SD-card, a very fast processor to capture and of course a very fast computer for video post-production.
If the camera will make the hi-quality FHD-video (so I really could see the difference between HD and FHD), that would be great.
Not if they include the H.265 codec like samsung did in the nx1, you get similar bitrates of fullHD, the only problem will be editing.
OK, just calculate it. AVCHD for a really nice quality requires at least 50 Mbit/s stream, 100 Mbit/s is preferable. 4K video requires 4x more stream. H.265 is 1.5-2x more efficient than H.264. In other words, at the best case we need a 100 Mbit/s guarranteed (not average, not of course maximum) write speed. Do you know at least one so fast SD-card? I don’t. 100 Mbit/s is at the best case. Really, you’ll need 150-200.
So todays in-camera 4K-video is just marketing trick!
The 1Dc shoots 4K with 95mbyte sec CF cards, and it has terrible compression. I have 95mbyte SD cards, so yes if that would be the case, it would work. But it is not, even 200mbit / sec is only 25mbyte / sec so wtf you talking about? 45mbyte / sec cards are already common place and cheap, you can buy 128GB for $50. If the H265 codec is as good as they say, you will only need 25mbyte cards to get prores HQ 4K 422 quality. We will see, but your dramatic example is wrong.
He doesn’t know the difference between bit and byte I fear.
I agree. My mistake.
Most DSLRs and EVILs record 60 megabyte/s to the SD, that’s 480mbit/s. Where’s the problem? EOSHD says a 7 sec clip is 60mb. That’s roughly half a gig / minute. You can record almost an hour with a 32gb card. Seems to be “ideal” to me.
Yes, they are expensive but they exist. Write speeds of over 200 MB/s tested. And that’s just SD cards.
http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/reviews/sd-cards/sandisk-extreme-pro-280-mbs-uhs-ii-32gb-sdhc-memory-card/
I already wrote, I made a mistake. I know that 200 MBytes/s reached. And 200 MBytes/s by manufacturer is not the guaranteed speed. It’s just the peak. The average write speed is much slower.
Anyway, we don’t need it for video yet 🙂 But for shooting photo series it is a good thing. 🙂
I didn’t state peak speeds quoted by the manufacturer, those are higher yet. I quoted tested speeds, over longer time.
This plus the Sigma 19/30/60 trio would be a great travel kit.
It can’t be a great travel kit with 3 primes to change constantly. If you said zoom or superzoom – then yes.
Only bad thing would be the lack of pdaf outside the middle of the frame for tracking.
I would def buy this camera, with xavc a 5axis stabilization would be perfect for video
And the addition of a mic port and this will be THE camera of 2015! I will sell my A7ii and buy 2 bodies.
hotshoe mic already works on a6000 what I want is headphone plug!
This will be Sony’s biggest selling camera.
That wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve been very impressed with my a6000 since I purchased it. It’s now the camera I use the most. If the a7000 builds on that with this additional functionality, that is going to be one very nice camera, probably about the best thing out there for APS-C shooters.
Not just APS-C. M43 users one big advantage has been 5 axis and touch screen. Now, Sony can eliminate any perceived gaps and as we know- undercut drastically in price. The only downside is lens choice to a certain degree.
Why? For casual user, there is little advantage over A6000.
Hobbyists using legacy glass can’t make much sales
Kai is back on A7II

He s doing his one man show and i like it as he s playing the funny 😉 gentleman photo expert 😉
How about A9?
FF + Fast 4D AF + 5-axis IBIS 😛
(Not interest in 4k x.x)
I think the trolls are getting tired 🙂 Tired of Gangstar life XD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM0-ZU8njdo
Admin, are you expecting an announcement of this camera at CP+ or will we only see the A9 and then the A7000? later?
Sigh, how about a78, 5 axis, no olpf, GPs, WiFi etc
Aps c with 24mp sensor currently has an advantage in many applications over ff of greater pixel density…therefore more dof and more compact lenses.
The new high resolution ff sensors about to come out will have pixel densities that approach that and therefore eliminate most of the current crop sensor advantage.
I wonder if the new apsc cameras will be higher resolution than the current 24mp in order to re-establish the crop sensor advantage?
Would be interested to learn more about the relationship between dof, etc and pixel density. Are you saying A7s, A7 and A7r with the same glass/f-stop have different dof?
There are multiple factors that go into determining dof, but most of those factors cancel each other out…therfore we can ignore the complicated calculations and just consider 2 factors to determine dof.
These factors are f# and magnification at the film plane.
Since ff has larger image than c at the film plane, the same image at the same f# will have less dof on ff because there is greater magnification.
All ff cameras are comparable, as are all c cameras but the c cameras will have greater dof unless you stop down 2 more f stops on the ff.
The reason I bring up pixel density is in order tp maintain the same resolution a 56 mp ff can be cropped to a 24mp picture that is for all intents and purposes identical to the 24mp c size sensor image.
The combination of higher mp crop censor, higher resolution crop sensor lenses, and Sony’s new diffraction reducing technology would really raise the bar on crop sensor cameras.
The diffraction reducing technology was first introduced on the A77II and utilizes some sort of wave function algorithm to reduce the diffraction while not reducing the overall light.
give me touch screen, and built in wireless flash trigger, 180 deg flip screen for selfie (i travel quite a bit), and i will buy one as my nex 6 upgrade right away!
The only issue- per se- with touchscreen is the propensity for the whole camera to move. If the AF is fast enough, it will lock and fire quick enough to not allow the camera to come to a rest. So, low shutter speeds- not really the best approach. I’m referring taking shot with it.
A touch screen is a lot more sensitive than a physical button. If you really want the camera to move as little as possible you should appreciate a touch screen.
At least as long as it is a capacitive touchscreen and not a resistive…
wireless flash trigger would be nice. That, and a higher flash sync speed! Given that the A77 can sync at 1/250th, I don’t see why the e-mount models have to be limited to 1/160th. And what happened to Sony’s fully articulating lcd screens? Are they reserving that just for the DSLT models now, making that a key distinction for A-mount? There’s no reason a feature like that should be tied to a lens mount type…
A 180 deg flip screen would be awesome, not only for selfies. I would also love to see:
– silent shutter
– weather sealed
– xavc
sound like a A5000
Hoi..
Give it better low light performance please…!! than I will upgrade…
……..
-Weather sealed,
-silent shutter,
-at least 2x EVF resolution (OLED etc)
-touch focus like GH4
-beter battery life,
-mic input + headphone out
-120 fps 1080p if there is no 4K
-USB3 – not that big of a deal but would be welcome
GPS is not so important. (perhaps make it an add on)
1)Possible depends on price point
2)Unlikely and very limited if implemented
3)Sure as long as it is actually new and not just going back to the nex6/7 one
4) Sony doesn’t seem to care much for touch on cameras. It may be worth it for the PR.
5) very unlikely
6) agreed, but mainly for the PR
7) a7ii doesn’t have it so unlikely. But xavc at least
8) don’t know why this hasn’t happened already
I’d also add
9) digital level. Was a pretty dumb omission on a6000
+1 for digital level gauge.
And I’m just sitting here and waiting for HSS, or any other type of built-in wireless trigger…
That would be really nice actually. I want that now too lol
+1 for digital level gauge.
Well, basically I’ll be terribly happy with an a6000 with digital level, better and bigger EVF, weather sealed, chance of changing parameters of Auto ISO and silent shutter. That’s the minimum improvement. From here any other thing like that 5 axis stabilization or whatever will be welcome.
Yes, why on earth did Sony get rid of the level on the a6000? I used that feature all the time on my NEX6 (and still do on my DSLTs).
I agree although using the grid lines works for me.
Sony please remember to include a digital level gauge.
well that settles it: if sony add ibis to all future e-mount cameras, then bye bye sony, hello fujifilm.
Bye bye.
Why? You don’t see that as a good thing? It sounds like it will be just the top model to me.
Extra weight, less robust, and on top of it it is completely irrelevant for most scenarios. Almost all, considering that there is already OSS on telephoto E-Mount lenses. And for heavy, long A-Mount lenses I’d rather get an A-Mount body. So it’s just for short to long manual telephoto lenses, and even then, only if there is no motion blur.
It is something for amateurs/hobbyists. I don’t see why it should be in a high end body.
The weight sure but less robust? Is the a99 less robust? I see it aimed at low light scenarios and manual glass myself. In a top end model I have no issues with it personally but to each his own 🙂
what low light scenario allows shutter speeds where image stabilisation helps?
All of them?
why dont you learn painting? why use a camera ?
I would say that is an odd response but then I looked at your user name. Can you teach me?
You’re holding your camera with a 24mm lens at 1/15 of a second, at ISO 6400. You’re shooting something that doesn’t move. With stabilization, you can shoot that same picture at 1/2 of a second, at ISO 1600. Useful.
You’re taking a picture of a public place where there are walking people, and you want them to go blurry for artistic reasons. Use a shutter speed of 1/2 a second. Boom. Everything is sharp but the people, and it was handheld.
“considering that there is already OSS on telephoto E-Mount lenses”
A heck of a lot of people aren’t just using E-Mount lenses, so welcome the addition.
I do a lot of handheld video indoors. Give me an example of a really wide and fast lens that gives me optical stabilization. I use Samyang 12mm f2 a lot and would LOVE to have that lens stabilized in video.
“Extra weight, less robust, and on top of it it is completely irrelevant for most scenarios. ”
You sir, are an idiot. Your opinion = discarded. Maybe don’t get Fujifilm and just stick to a Canon P&S.
Bye.
have heared another rumor: ……………………………………..silence………………………..
“some people say, that cars in future will have 4 wheels…”
manny all whish—but: it coems to close to Fs 7r
I could care less about all of these features. I am not buying another Sony body until they get rid of their looseless 11 bit compression files and start providing us true 14 bit files. When that happens I will start considering them pro quality
“I could care less” – so do you care a lot?
Where are you getting your true 14-bit files from now?
Canon RAW files are RAW
I don’t think his Sony lenses work on Canon bodies though. (Though the opposite does work well)
It’s 11+7 bits, not the same as 11 bits.
the only system where RAW can be more ugly than JPG 🙁
come on, sony!
This news is great. It only means 999 more E mount posts until we get the A99 rumor. Almost there!
My antiquated opinion of nihilism, that same nihilism i find in the behaviour of these trolls
posts………
I have a Sony camera..Ha!
They hate the ‘subjectively postmodern’ bit XD
many
Real person..
What Is This…I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! must have been relocating!!!!!
too
Do you know about making websites? i can start thinking about making one now alongside other stuff i have to sort out 🙂
One for photography and well theory of it.. XD
Make a website about keeping your gob shut.
If and when Sony have a higher priced camera at top of their range, your ‘slow clap’ post at the top there will be rendered moot….
As opposed to…nihilistic trolLITER with no camera..
And a 4k 100mbps GO sony GO! Open to normal (non rich) consumer the decent movie quality
Please!!!! with GPS
How much could this 5 axis IBIS improve over the current on lens stabilisation ??? thanks
Not sure about that – but on-sensor stabilization means ANY lens you attach to the camera will be stabilized. So mount your old Nikon lenses, your Rokinon – whatever you want – it is stabilized. Nice.
hey people can you advise me? Are they in works of a newer Macro lens for an aps-c e-mount? Or will the Zeiss Toiut 2.8 going to be the leader for a while?
