Curiosity: Sony teaser is for the new Sony LinkBuds Clip

Share

If, like me, you have subscribed to the Sony newsletter, you will have received this teaser image. It’s highly likely this is for the new open-ear headphones called the Sony LinkBuds Clip. Unlike traditional earbuds that go inside your ear canal, these are “clip-on” earbuds that attach to the side of your earlobe (similar to the Huawei FreeClip or Bose Ultra Open Earbuds). This design allows you to hear your environment naturally while listening to music.

So if you’re waiting for news about Alpha, you’ll have to be patient a little longer. Last year, Sony announced two new lenses at the end of February, and I expect this will be the case again this year, namely for the new 100-400mm f/4.0 and 16-28mm f/2.0 GM lenses.

Sony announced the new IMX928 68MP square global shutter sensor!

Share

Sony announced the new IMX928 sensor. It’s a 68MP square global shutter sensor and the smaller brother of the IMX927 105MP sensor that was announced in autumn.

Even though the IMX928 is nearly as “tall” as a Full Frame sensor (22.5mm vs 24mm), it is much narrower (22.5mm vs 36mm). Overall, a Full Frame sensor is about 70% larger in total surface area. It’s a sensor made for industrial use so it won’t be in any cinema or Alpha camera in this form. But surely some of this tech will find it’s way what could become a new 50MP global shutter sensor for the future Sony A1III. Yes you heard me…I am betting a higher resolution global shutter Full Frame camera is coming sometimes in late 2027 or 2028.
