CineD published their full Sony A1 review along the mini-doc video I embedded at the bottom. Their conclusions is:

The Alpha 1 is the best all-round flagship mirrorless camera ever produced by Sony. Yes, it comes with a price, but it can easily replace two separate camera bodies. So in the end, it can makes perfect (purchasing) sense to content creators, who are equally dedicating time to take photos and videos. (And the proof is in the pudding as we are being told by our site sponsors that “within a week of it’s announcement, there were as many preorders for the A1 as for the a7S III). I’m sure you guys can agree, that Sony made an amazing leap from being a company who manufacturer “just another camera that can shoot videos and high quality photos” to one of the leaders in this field. Merging the Alpha team together with Sony’s professional division is certainly starting to show its footprint and us, the users, can only benefit from it.

This is the first leaked image of the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 FE lens that will be announced on April 27. It will cost $899 which is $500 cheaper than the Sony 35mm GM. Another source previously told us this about the new lens:

Compare to Sony GM,At the center of resolution, it is good as Sony GM.
At the corner of resolution,Sony GM is better.
AF speed is slower than Sony GM.
Sigma Art is much lighter and cheaper.
Due to issue of 28-70 Art, Announcement is delayed.
Sigma will start to sell this new lens July or June in this year.

Thanks J.!!!!

The new Sony 35mm GM is still not in Stock but it will already get a new competition soon. Sigma is about to announce their new 35mm f/1.4 DG DN lens and a source told us this about the new lens:

I wonder what the price will be… I guess around $899. Would you buy it instead of the Sony at that price?

UPDATE: A first time source claims to know this about the new Sigma:

And it will be announced on April 27.

This week we will get the Sony 14mm f/1.8 GM, Tamron 11-20mm and the Tamron 150-500mm FE. But there is more to come ;)

Tomorrow or after tomorrow Sony will announce the new Sony 14mm f/1.8 GM. And on April 22 Tamron will announce the new 150-500mm FE and 11-20mm E.

But because I am terrible clickbait person I will also tell you this: Something much more exciting will be announced in May ;)
