It is the first time that I read that website so I can’t tell you how reliable their rumors are. But according to primetimecrew.wordpress.com “Sony is currently developing an EVF as well as a 30mm f1.8.”

We know that Sony is working on a new EVF (OLED?). But we didn’t hear anything about a 30mm prime lens.

Thanks Kris W.!

As you know we months ago we told you that Sony was working on a new firmware update for current $loc = $_SESSION['geoip'];

if ($loc == 'GB' OR $loc == 'UK')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'ES')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'IT')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'AT')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'DE')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'BE')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'AU')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'NL')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'CA')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'JA' OR $loc == 'JP')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($loc == 'US')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony Alpha if ($sel != '1')
{?>Sony Alpha cameras. We expect the firmware to improove the ISO-performance (The same improovement we have with the new Image Data Converter).

Months ago we received rumors (from known reliable sources) that the firmware should be released in March. Than we learned that they delayed the release until May. And now the same sources (and I repeat they are very reliable!) sent me an email saying that the release has been postponed again. All I can tell you is that “…many alphas were wrecked after loading FW 2.0Beta…“. And we have to wait for Sony to fix the problem.

Pleas Sony…fix it as soon as possible!
