(SR5) November 18th Sony’s presentation about broadcast solution
The November 18 announcement is real! Sony is going to present a new “broadcast solution”.

Our source were right with his “November 18 announcement rumor“. So is he also right when the says that Sony is going to present a Panasonic GH1 competitor? “broadcast solution” doesn’t sound like Sony is going to announce a mirrorless digital video/photo hybrid camera.
Thanks MNZ for sending the link!

May be Sony will bring a GH1 with them and tell the attendees, if people really want video on digital still cameras then they can simply buy one like this from our arch rival, Panasonic.
