Sony announced a new E-mount camera…but it’s not meant to be purchased by our readers! This is the world’s most sensitive 4K network camera named “”SNC-VB770”. Sony Japan’s press release states the camera has the industries highest level minimum illumination at 0.004 lux (in the 4K network camera business). The camera will ship in August for 850,000 yen.

Here are the specs translated from Japanese:

Sony CEO Hirai got spotted testing the new Nikon D5 and D500 DSLR cameras at the CP+ show. Beside the pure gossip nature of this “event” I really do hope Mr. Hirai recognizes the need of “bigger” cameras. For better balance, improved handling options, larger batteries and so on. We really want to handle those A9 and A99II cameras at Sony’s Photokina booth!

Sadly this won’t be just a bad April 1 joke but a real thing: Sony will really(!) increase the prices in Canada on April 1 exactly. Canadian readers better buy their stuff before this date at Newegg.ca, TheCameraStore, Amazon.ca, eBay.ca or any other store!

Thanks Ori, Sour and all other people who sent this info!

I feel that f/1.6 is the sweet spot for this lens – fabulous Bokeh and Tack Sharp
