Ten years ago Sony officially acquired Minolta (Source: DC.watch.). And since than a lot changed. Nowadays the Alpha DSLR system is struggling to survive. Sony focus is on the new E-mount system development. Sony keeps promising they want to keep the A-mount system well alive. It would have been a smart move from Sony to somehow launch some cool A-mount product today to bring back some excitement.

A bit of history:
The first A-mount film camera was the [shoplink 48353 ebay]Minolta Maxxum 7000[/shoplink] (February 1985).
The last digital Minolta A-mount camera was the [shoplink 48348 ebay]Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D[/shoplink] (July 15 2005).
The first Sony A-mount camera was the [shoplink 48349 ebay]Sony A100[/shoplink] (June 5 2006).

The new Nissin i60A for Sony was expected to ship on June 8 at BHphoto. But Nissin Japan just issued an official press release stating that the release got postponed to August. The reason is that they are still working on the final firmware.

Colin: “Recently on my YouTube channel I released a cinematic-style short video that I shot on my RX10. (I’ve been shooting all of my videos on this camera for about a year now, but it still surprises me just how good the footage is out of it!). Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWH29u-L60k“

Chris and Jordan analyzed the current camera shipment situation after the major Kumamoto Sony sensor production damage. They predict that there will be a major delay in product shipments (including the new A6300). And they expect the situation to get back to normal by this fall only.

Sony has (or had?) a scheduled product announcement event in June. But it’s now unclear if Sony will announce those product at all because of the sensor shortage.

Jörg: “I just published a first impression video in German (my first video ever) about the new Zeiss Batis 18mm 2.8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3v8JckTvZY”

Clive: “Just letting you know I managed to find a hands on of the Kipon Integrated ND adapter. I was very curious at the time despite their sloppy use of terminology and confusing pictures.
This has the potential to be as good as the Fotodiox ND Throttle but with the ability to remove completely for zero ND.  I was hoping to see more hands on videos online before I took the risk buying it, but there is nearly nothing about it! https://youtu.be/Qr-LR551IdU?t=1m25s“

Hanna Saba: “Check out blog on Milky way shots using the a7sii. Had some messages on how i captured the milky way the settings and what i used. https://hrimages.wordpress.com/2016/05/14/milky-way/“
