ePhotozine posted the very first Sony A68 hands-on pictures. The camera is alreayd shipping in Europe (Amazon) and will ship in May in North America too (Bhphoto). Now let’s hope the next A-mount camera will be the A99II.

At the NEC show in Birmingham Sony displayed the new wireless flash system. You can see the images at Photographyblog. Sony did yet not disclose the pricing of the new flash. But they said they will ship it this Summer.

Bad news for A-mount folks: Sigma silently killed the A-mount version of their 24mm ART lens (Source BHphoto). And the official Sigma site doesn’t display the A-mount version anymore.

Hi!

I reported yesterday that there is one advertisers not respecting the google adsense rules. This leads to redirects on mobile browsers where you see unallowed and offensive ads. Google asked me to help them out to catch the advertisers. The issue happens only in some countries like USA and UK. And it doesn’t happen in the country where I am located right now. That’s why I need some experienced techfreaks SAR readers that currently see those redirects on their mobile devices. If you could help me out by dong this:

1. Follow those instructions to be able to grab the AD redirects https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/6206401?hl=en
2. Send me the results at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com.
3. As soon as I have them I will block the advertiser

To all readers:
This morning I removed all ads from mobile devices to get rid of the redirects. I will now have to activate those ADS again so that we can catch that annoying advertiser. Once we got them I will let you know who it was! But in the meantime sorry if you have those annoying ads again.
