Samyang will also announce a new Full Frame E-mount zoom this week!

I have been told that this week Samyang will announce a new autofocus zoom lens for the Sony E-mount system. My source also said that “there would be a surprising news anyone expected about the brand“. No idea yet what this means…

If you have more info about this (or rumor about any other company) you can share send me a message using this contact box, SIGNAL, or at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

New Panasonic Lumix S1rII is rumored to use the new 44MP Sony sensor….here are the impressive specs!

As you know, Sony announced the 44MP IMX366 sensor 1-2 years ago. It’s a high speed sensor that may or may not find its way into the future new Sony A7V. My gut still tells me that the A/V will retain the 33MP resolution… but I have a curious competitor rumor: Panasonic will announce a new S1rII next week that has a new 44MP sensor. I suspect it will be a variant of the new Sony IMX366 sensor, and the rumored specs are impressive (Source: L-rumors.com).

Full Panasonic Lumix S1RII specs (preorder here soon):

  • New 44 MP “high speed” sensor
  • 40fps in electronic shutter
  • 10fps in mechanical shutter
  • 8 stops image stabilization
  • 176 MP High Res with sensor shift…handheld(!) and by combining 8 images.
  • 1.5 second pre-capture
  • 8k30p
  • 4K120 without crop
  • 8,1K Open-Gate will be released later with a Firmware Update
  • 6K ProRes RAW HQ internal recording
  • Internal RAW Video Recording: ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 plus Proxy Recording
  • You can record on external SSD via USB-C
  • Frame marker for 2.39:1, 2.35:1, 2.00:1, 1.85:1, 16:9,
    4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 and Custom
  • 32 Bit Float audio
  • Multi-Angle-Screen like A9III/A1II
  • Body size about the same of the Lumix S5II (just a tiny bit thicker)
  • Weather-sealed and ventilated
  • RED record button in front of the camera on the corner near the mount
  • red Tally in front and on the back fo the camera
  • Price around $3,500
  • Announcement: Feb 25, 2pm London time

This camera aims to compete against the Canon R5II and Nikon Z8. Imagine the A7V would have those specs for $2,500…I know I am dreaming and this is NOT going to happen!
