According to one source Sony will launch a 35mm f/1.4 G lens replacement soon. And this is certainly a welcome news. This is one of the oldest “sony” lenses launched back in 2006. And now we have cheaper and better alternatives like the Sigma ART 35mm lens ($899 here at Amazon). I don’t know the price but I have been told the replacement will NOT be Zeiss branded.

Two trusted sources told us the Sony A5100 will feature the exact same sensor of the Sony A6000. It means it will have that super fast autofocusing in a smaller and cheaper package. Sounds good to me!
I also have been told the camera Body and LCD screen will be the same of the Nex-5t (with touch screen).

No other E or A or RX camera will be announced on August 19. For that you have to wait a couple of days more ;)

What you see here is the first image of the new Sony A5100! And as expected there is no design change compared with the current Sony A5000. The camera will be announced on August 19 according to Sony Hong Kong. Specs are coming soon…

Thanks to the anonymous source who shared this!!!

A FAKE rendering of a possible Sony 85mm f/1.8 FE lens (Source: Xitek.).

According to one source Sony will disclose a new FE lens roadmap right before Photokina. And he said there will be certainly a fast 85mm prime. He didn’t unveil specs and pricing info about the lens. Very unreliable rumor floating around the web say this could be a Zeiss 85mm f/1.8 lens. One thing is sure: Sony FE lens designer Naoki Miyagawa said he is “dreaming” about an ultra fast 85mm FE lens (Source: Lesnumeriques –google translation here).

It’s Photokina time and therefore false leaks are spreading on the web! A couple of readers sent me the link to the Xitek forum where someone posted images of the RX1s and RX1k. Before you get fooled about them know that these are obviously FAKE home-made images :)

It doesn’t mean the RX1s and RX1k may not become true soon!

Sony sent out an invitation for a press event related to the IFA show in Berlin. On September 3 at 16:15 Sony will unveil their new products which will certainly include the new Z3 smart phone (with curved sensor?) and the QX30 (with 30x zoom). This is normally NOT the place for regular A or E-mount announcements which are likely to be made before that date in late August.

P.S.: There may be also the chance that Sony splits the product unveiling in 2-3 separate announcements…

Reminder: $80 off on the QX10 and QX100 at Amazon US (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).

Uebergizmo via Photorumors.

Rumors from anonymous and new sources are coming in almost daily now. According to one of them the next Sony A99II (or whatever the final name will be) is going to use the same 36MP Sony A7r sensor. The real highlight will be the fastest autofocus of the world (which Sony claims to be from the A6000 right now). The camera is also featured with NFC and Wifi while rumor has it that there is no built-in GPS because apparently customers do not care about having that feature. Keep your feet on ground for now until trusted sources will confirm the A99II launch and specs.

The source also said the current A99 will keep remaining for sale with likely lowered price. Right now Sony sells them for $1,799 only at [shoplink 27915 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink].

The camera is likely going to be introduced along a new Sony 24-105mm G lens. Hopefully that lens will match or even beat the already very good Sigma 24-105mm f/4.0 lens performance.
