Yep, I am sure you almost forgot about it but there is a new A-mount camera from Sony :) The A68 will ship soon in USA and here is a new review from Photographyblog:

The Sony A68 is an excellent alternative to a mid-range DSLR, offering the same excellent auto-focusing performance as the top-of-the-range A77 II camera. In summary, the Sony A68 proves that there’s still life left in the Sony A-mount camera range. It’s both a worthy alternative to the DSLR competition and Sony’s smaller-bodied E-mount system.

There is also a German Sony a68 handson video by Jens Knotte on Youtube. And a polish review at Fototesty.

Lensrentals tested the new Sony 50mm FE lens. here a couple of findings:

• The 50mm is a very good lens and quite a bargain at the price
• The copy-to-copy variation on the FE 50mm f/1.8 is superbly low.

Very good news!

The Alpa is the only mirrorless camera which uses the new Sony 101 medium format sensor. But unlike modern DSLR digital medium format cameras the Alpa is quite tricky to use. Kai surely got though a lot of annoyances to make it work. It would certainly make sense for Sony to launch a RX medium format camera with such sensor. If they manage to price it below $10,000 there may a market for this?

SAR follower That1cameraguy sent me that video of the Sony FE 70-300mm

Our friend Jordan Steele reviewed the new Sony 24-70mm GM lens. And his conclusion is:

The bottom line is that this lens is exceptional. I’ve never used a standard lens that is this sharp, and the sharpness is outstanding throughout the entire range and at all apertures and all focus distances.  It’s truly remarkable.  Throw in good (but not great) bokeh, outstanding color and contrast and very low CA and you’ve got a standard lens that can truly take the place of a bag full of primes.  While I personally can’t justify the exorbitant price for my own shooting, those who need a fast standard zoom will be hard pressed to find a better lens. Whether shooting landscapes, events or any other type of shooting, it’s simply an exceptional optic and a wonderful way to kick off the G Master lens line.

Sony reported that the lens got much higher preorders than expected. That’s why you it’s hard to find the lens in Stock. At the moment only Digitalrev (Click here) seems to have some of those. Anyway check the links here when the lens will be in Stock:
