Good Morning dear readers.
After 11 hours drive I am now back at home. I finished my photography project in Belgium and have now more time to spend on SonyAlphaRumors. It is very difficult to work on SAR while travelling. My next work-trip is New York City by end of October (we can arrange some meeting there what you think?).

There are a couple of things to say:
1) I will try to check all the emails I missed. If I forgot to post something please drop me an email. Thanks!
2) I will evaluate the fullframe poll. I already know that Sony toke notice of it. I will hopefully be able to post the final results analysis today
3) I will know order all the fullframe rumors I got form my sources. As I said, expect rumors about multiple FF cameras ;)

For the rest, thanks again to everybody that helps me by sending links. If one day you will visit the dolomite’s feel free to contact e and I will offer you a glass of good wine ;)

Bye!
Andrea

Vienna’s vineyards shot on Sony HX9V from Johnnie Behiri on Vimeo.

The video on top has been made by Johnni Behiri and BBC correspondent Bethany Bell: “we’ve decided to give the little Sony camera a try during a real short feature production.
The aim was not to astonish anyone with “VDSLR like” film look but to see how easy (or not) it is to work with it in the field.
Considering the fact that this camera is mostly automatic I am fairly happy with the end result. True, keeping the right exposure is almost impossible during a “run&gun” (look at the piece to camera) but I must admit that focusing (or playing with depth of field) were easier then I’ve expected.”
The HX9v is a compact camera you can get at [shopcountry 7597].

Crazy combination: Sony NEX-5 and his Carl Zeiss 300mm f/2.8 Tele-Superachromat T* lens at Kaisernchen. Actually that lens isn’t as expensive as you think. You can get it for cheap (used) on [shoplink 9231 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

[shoplink 7207]Sony Alpha NEX-C3[/shoplink] Compact System Camera Review (ePhotozine).

[shoplink 7419]Sony A35[/shoplink] AutoHDR (SonyAlphaLab).

Our reader “fernando” sent us the following new copy of a new full accessories list for the NEX version cameras. There is a new NEX bag carrier for the cameras on the image and here are the full pictures:

There is now an official press release from Sony support US:
“Thank you for your support of Sony products.
We have received reports of a “clicking” sound which may be heard in the audio playback of movies recorded by the NEX-5N camera. This phenomenon occurs if the camera undergoes sudden motion while recording; motion generally inconsistent with smooth video recording. The video is unaffected by this sound.
In accordance with Sony’s policy of continuous product improvement, an adjustment has been developed to reduce the clicking sound resulting from sudden motion during movie recording.
Sony will offer this performance improvement to NEX-5N end users during the period of its limited warranty accompanying the product. Please call 888-868-7392 to arrange for this improvement.”

I didn’t find any similar news in European or Asian countries. Drop us a comment if you find them! Thanks!

I spend a coupe of hours to organize the pol based on your suggestions I collected here: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/we-need-your-suggestions-for-the-next-sony-fullframe-cameras/.

UPDATE: I will keep the poll open until late Sunday.

Before you start to vote please read the introduction:
1) Please take time before to vote. Think!
2) There are 105 features/characteristics you can vote. But you can select a maximum of 20 options only! Please be aware of the cost of every feature. You have to willing to pay for what you ask!
3) The poll has no scientific value. It will only help to give us and Sony a general idea of what the people is looking for.
4) The percentage you see after each possible answers has to be understand like that. A percentage of 34% for example means that of all voters 34% voted that option.
5) If you want me to correct your voting contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com
6) The poll will run for a couple of days.
7) After closing the poll I will analyze the results and try to get feedback from Sony.

A35 High ISO Testing at SonyAlphaLab.

Let’s just give me an update about one of our main competitors (and sensor partners). Nikon just announced a completely new CX mirrorless camera system based on a 10 megapixel 2.7x crop sensor. The sensor is four times bigger than the small compact camera sensor but a lot smaller than our NEX sensors. You can read the full news coverage at MirrorlessRumors.com.

I don’t know yet if the system uses Sony sensors. But at first glance I wouldn’t say this is a serious NEX competition. It’s a camera made for the compact camera “upgraders” but with $599 (for the J1 at Amazon) I find the entry price too high! I would buy the [shoplink 8452]Sony NEX-5n[/shoplink] at that price….without the clicking issue please :)
