Shawn Steiner shot Landscapes and Travel with the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens:

This lens is quite good. Considering its price point and feature set it is an easy recommendation to make. Images are sharp, the lens the lightweight and easy on the shoulder, and operation is fast and smooth. In terms of bang for buck, it is practically unmatched. If you have been wanting a wide-angle lens for your full-frame E-mount camera the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 may just check all the right boxes.

(SR4) Two more Sony cameras to be announcement within August/September

Share

two Sony cameras still have to be announced soon (via Nokishita)

Sony’s new strategy is to announce a single product every 1-2 weeks. in June we got the 600mm and 200-600m lenses. Two weeks ago we got the 35mm f/1.8 FE. Last week the A7rVII and this week the RX100VII. And we know there is more to come!

Within the next weeks we shall see two more Sony camera announcements. This because Sony had registered two camera codes of yet to be announced cameras. Both cameras will not be High End E-mount cameras. As they don’t have the 5GHZ Wifi as the A7rIV does. I am pretty sure both the A9II and A7sIII would have fast Wifi. Told you many times before that the A9II and A7sIII are scheduled for a fall announcement at best.

What to expect?
I heard from one source that one of the new cameras should be the RX10V. If the sources is right we have one more entry-level camera to get. Could be a new APS-C E-mount camera or another Cybershot/RX model.

I have no info about new lens announcements so far…

Sony China presentation shows the success of their 1 inch compact camera startegy

Share

Sony had a RX100VII launch presentation in China. They also displayed those two graphs.

1) On top you can see the market share of the single Sony cameras in the compact camera segment.

2) Below you can see that while the compact camera market as a whole is shrinking the “sales value” of 1 inch sensor cameras did actually increase in the past years. In short it means Sony managed to make more money by selling less cameras.
