(SR4) New Sony High End E-mount camera priced like the 1DX2 and D5

Share

a9

A new additional info about the new Sony High End E-mount camera (larger body and dual SD card slot). Not sure the camera will get the new A9 naming or simply remain in the A7 series. Anyway this is the info:

I got additional information on α9.
α9 seems to be a professional camera like 1DX2 and D5.
And the price is likely to be the same price range.

Join the Sony A9 facebook group (Click here) to get new info about that camera model!

Note from SAR editor: I previously posted this rumor in my SR1 impossible rumor post. But after a feedback from the source I realized this message was from a source who shared a 100% correct rumor in the past.

(SR1) UPDATED: The impossible rumors roundup…(RX5, Tilt-shift).

Share

sony-a7III

Source 1:

Sony will release an APS-C sized fixed lens camera in 2017 called RX5. It’s like a crossbreed of the A6500 and the RX1R II. A6500 sensor, touchscreen and connectivity, RX1R II EVF, body and shutter. It contains a 23mm f/1.8 lens and there is stabilization (don’t know if it’s in the body or lens, but it is not only digital). It will be released around CP+ 2017 and cost is in the $1000 ballpark. Nothing ground-breaking, just RX1’s little brother.

SAR note: I am not sure an APS-C RX camera makes sense at all.

Source 2:

There is a tilt shift lens coming soon from Sony.

SAR note: I think Sony first has to fill other “holes” in the FE lens system before they release such a very small niche lens.

Important UPDATE: I removed the rumor from source 3 (about the A9 camera) as it tunred out to be from a more reliable source! I will repost this soon on SAR with proper rating and more detailed info! Thanks to the source for sending me a new message to correct my post :)

Notes on those kind of (im-)possible rumors:

  • Fake rumors sent by so claimed sources that are known to create fake rumors are NOT included. What you see here are messages I got from unknown sources where I have no track of any “rumor history”
  • It’s by readers request that I create this sum up of low ranked rumors. But please remind all that these are not rumors from trusted sources and don’t count me accountable on those kind of very low ranked rumors :)
  • The last year a couple of those rumors were right (RX1rII and A6300 specs). So miracles sometimes can happen :)

New A6500 tests and first unboxing videos (Cinema5D, Newsshooter, Jason Lanier, ThatCameraGuy)

Share

Two big video-centric websites have an exact opposite view on the new Sony A6500. Let’s start with the one that didn’t like the camera:

Cinema5D short conclusion is:

there is not enough innovation in the new model to make one move up from their current a6300 model to the new a6500.

While Newsshooter writes:

The a6500’s touch autofocus system is a killer feature. No other small 4K camera comes close for natural looking AF at the moment. Having used it I see no going back, so I bought one.

And here is Newshooter Sony a6500 4K touch autofocus skate park test – graded with Filmconvert:

Jason Lanier is testing the A6500 heat control so far the news is good:
