I hope you will keep following SAR even in 2013. There will be plenty of new stuff and don’t miss to read my prediction to see what could come this year. And now let’s start with the new years rumors. I had no sleep tonight and worked on the next bunch of rumors. The first thing you should know is that Sony will soon have an announcement right before the CES show (start January 8). But there will be compact cameras only and no, not one of this compact camera will be a more advanced model like the RX100.
I still didn’t get a reliable confirmation but there is a fair chance that new SLT NEX stuff may be announced a couple of weeks later right before the start of the CP+ show in Yokohama (January 31).
I just got an email from Camera MX with a link to a new youtube video and a delivery estimation of the new Contax G to E-mount adapter: “We believe we can launch this adapter around Feb. One more thing, Contax G16mm and G21mm cannot used on this CONTAX G – SONY NEX AF adapter. If you want to use G21 with this, you must cut the rear lens flange. G16 cannot use on it. In future, international version is renamed as “DEO TECHART” or “DEO””

At Christmas many people buys or receives a new cameras. But I found one guy that actually unintentionally destroyed the camera :) And for us this is a good thing because we can finally take a look inside the Sony RX100!

Sony A99 – full hands on review by PhotoNewsReviews
DxO Optics Pro 8.1.1 supports Sony SLT-A99. At the same time they added a new tool to measure the “perceived resolution” which should be an easier to comprehend alternative to MTF graphs. You can check out the article at DxOmark.com.
