Federico: “Just to inform and hope in Sony firmware update.
Every Sony 24 f1.4 GM have some problem when you close over f4, starting to wooble in AFC, this happen very very little (not a problem) on sony A9, while on A7r3 (maybe because phase points are little for diffraction) cause a real problem in use.
Tried on 4 lenses and 3 cameras.
This is an example (not my video, is a friend of mine but I can make other)..

Like I told you before the CES show isn’t usually used by Sony to announce new E-mount products. That said Be Alpha is holding a special Sony event and their invitation says:

There will be photo ops, food, lots of fun, and some surprises. If you’re in the Las Vegas area, you won’t want to miss this one!

Let’s hope the A7000 is one of the surprises :)

All we know with 99% reliability is that Sony will announce new 8k products (camcorder, TV and so on). The one source that told us the A7000 might be announced before Christmas was obviously wrong. My guess is that Sony had “only” an internal presentation of the A7000 before it goes official.

ePhotozine conclusion is:

There are some really excellent lenses available, and the Sony G Master range includes some of the very best. This continues with the new Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM lens, which performs impeccably and at a price level that is competitive with Canon and very much less than Nikon. There are third-party alternatives that are also very good indeed, but for those seeking the manufacturer’s own lenses then this offering is very, very attractive and an obvious Editor’s Choice, the high expectations that we started out with having been totally met.

ThePhoBlographer conclusion is:

Marrying a petite footprint with a feather like body, the Sony 24mm f1.4 G Master is capable of creating stunning images with razor sharp detail and dreamlike bokeh. A marvelous union of technological advancement and optics engineering, as far as 24mm f1.4 lenses goes, Sony simply did it better, smaller, and lighter than the competition.

Notification of system software updates for customers using the α7R III (ILCE-7RM3) and α7 III (ILCE-7M3) interchangeable lens digital cameras
Thank you for using Sony products.

It has come to our attention that the following issues may occur with our α7R III and α7 III interchangeable lens digital cameras.

In rare cases, your α7R III or α7 III model may stop functioning while writing RAW data onto an SD card that has already been used multiple times.

Notes:

• This may also cause abnormalities in the files managing the images, preventing the images from displaying on the camera
• No image data in the memory card will be corrupted or deleted aside from data that was being written at the time the interruption occurred
• If images no longer display on the camera, follow the steps below to use “Recover Image DB” feature:

Select MENU → (Setup) → [Recover Image DB] → desired memory card slot → [Enter]
Then, when taking a picture, back up the data on a PC or other device, and format the memory card on your camera.

2. With the α7R III, taking a picture while using the Auto Review function, may occasionally cause the camera to stop responding.

We will provide an update to the system software addressing to the above issues in mid-December. Until then, please take the following precautions:

While we are preparing to provide new system software, we will no longer offer updates to the current system software.

Before taking any pictures, format the memory cards in both slots on the camera, or use a new memory card.
Ensure the Auto Review function is off when taking pictures.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused while using the affected products and thank you for your understanding.
