On September 3 we will get the next Sony product announcement. And we will see the new QX30 (30x zoom) module and the ILCE-QX1 APS-C E-mount module. I have been told the price of the ILCE-QX1 will be 300 Euro and 450 Euro with 16-50mm lens. The size is about the same of the current [shoplink 28354 ebay]QX100 (here one Bay)[/shoplink].

Reminder: On Monday/Tuesday Zeiss will announce the new Loxia lens series.

Is the high resolution camera the rumored 50MP A7x?

A few days ago I received a rumor about a high-resolution FF camera (article here). Well I posted this with a very low SR1 ranking in strong believe this is not going to happen yet.

Well guys, the good news is that I had to raise the rumor level from SR1 to SR3 :)

I really cannot tell you more as I just got that info today and I still am waiting to get specs. But there seems to be a very good chance that Sony will introduce a “high resolution” camera (around 50 megapixel). I yet don’t know if this is an A or E-mount (A7x?) or RX or medium format or whatever. So keep still your feet on ground for now.

At that point I am asking all sources to help me out on this by sending some info about that camera anonymously… Thanks :)

The image on top shows the new Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2.0 Biogon Full Frame E-mount lens. Just like the yesterday leaked 50mm Loxia this is a manual focusing lens with electronic aperture control.

At the Zeiss really took inspiration from their ZM lens line as both new Loxia match the specs and kind of “general” design of these two:
[shoplink 9808 ebay]Biogon T* 2/35 ZM (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 9809 ebay]Planar T* 2/50 ZM (here on eBay)[/shoplink].

I have been told that Zeiss will announce those lenses within the next 3-4 days, likely on Monday or Tuesday!  And these will be just the first two lenses of five to come within the next 6-12 months!

This is the worldwide first published image of the new Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2.0 Planar E-mount Full Frame lens. Like I told you before Zeiss will soon announce a new line for Full Frame E-mount which also includes the Zeiss 35mm f/2.0 Biogon. These lenses are just like the Touit for the APS-C E-mount system: Made by Zeiss itself (not Zeiss branded Sony the Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 FE). But the Loxia lenses will be manual focusing and with electronic aperture control. And unlike current Sony FE lenses the Loxia comes with a handy physical aperture ring.

The 50mm you see on top has a Planar design just like the “original” [shoplink 9809 ebay]Planar T* 2/50 ZM (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. These are the full lens specs of the Loxia 50mm:
Planar® with 6 lens elements in 4 groups
Focal length 50 mm
Aperture range f/2.0–f/22
Elements/groups 6/4
Focusing range m/ft 0.45–∞/1.48–∞
Field angle* (diag./horiz./vert.) 46.78°/39.38°/26.70°
Coverage** mm/inch 255.1 x 168.3/10.04 x 6.63

I got this info from different sources: The new A99 successor will ship early 2015. The weird thing I heard from one of those sources is that the camera may be announced 2-3 months AFTER Photokina. I don’t know what this means. Maybe Sony is only going to display a prototype of the A99 successor at photokina without releasing specs with full announcement coming 2-3 months after.

Anyway, so far I also don’t have 100% reliable specs. I got some info about the use of the 36MP sensor and a built-in vertical grip But I would rate that SR3 only for now…

I got some highly reliable info about Sigmas A-mount lens plan. According to that source Sigma will always try to release the A-mount version of their new lenses 6 months after the release of the Canon/Nikon version. They do this “in order to judge market viability for this lens line in the future“. Those are the sources word.

Thanks Source!
