The X800 (in Europe) or HX99 (in the USA) can be preorder at BHphoto, BuyDig, Focuscamera

So the rumor was spot on and indeed we had a new Sony announcement today: The bad news is that there is no A7000 yet. But “only” this new WX800 compact camera (In China it’s named WX700 and in US HX99). Like I told you multiple times before I am sure the A7000 rumor is correct but I also told you that we never got an exact date about the possible camera announcement. All we know is that they told us it’s coming as next E-mount camera.

Back to the WX800:
The new WX800 is the world’s smallest compact camera with 24-720mm zoom. Full info can be read on that Sony site. And this is the incredible zoom range you get with this camera:

Damn, this could be a bad day for some of our readers:

The German website Photoscala reported that the company Net SE is now officially bankrupt. They had many Kickstarter projects running under the brands Meyer Optik Görlitz, C. P. Goerz und Oprema Jena. And if you still didn’t get your lens from them you will NOT get back the money from Kickstarter!

If you still want to get such a lens there are some of them in Stock at Bhphoto. Unlike Kickstarter you will get a refund at Bhphoto if the lens you had on preorder will not ship.

This camera was announced on August 30 in Asia and Europe but not in the USA. Today Sony announced the new HX99 in the USA. Preorders will open tomorrow at BHphoto.

And today also Amazon US added a preorder option on the new Sony TOUGH SD cards:

Sony 128GB TOUGH SD card at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.
Sony 64GB TOUGH SD card at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.
Sony 32GB TOUGH SD card at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.

On Reddit A7III and A7rIII owners reported a major bug. The Sandisk 128GB card is not working when you use them on Slot Number 1. IThe problem only appears with the 128GB card version and only with Sandisk.

Hendrixj92 pointed out:

I contacted Sony. After a quick explanation of the issue, the rep found other reports of this happening. It appears to be a firmware issue with 128gb cards. They are working on it.

I am sure Sony will soon fix this via FW update.
