There ain’t peace for me in those days folks!

UPDATED: The image above shows the new Sigma 85mm f/1.4 FE with completely new design. It will be announced on August 6th! As you know the current 85mm f/1.4 FE lens is just their DSLR lens with a tube glued on it :)

This one is going to be made specially for the Sony E and L-mount system. And it will have half the weight and half the size of the DSLR version. Hope to get some more info soon. Stay tuned!

Preorders:

Just a warning: After the A7sIII launch I will post new rumors about another nw Sony camera and a new Sigma lens. It really looks like companies have moved all the Spring announcement to the August-September timeframe.

Oh damn I was assuming th Sony A7sIII would have the same crappy menu of the the current A7 cameras. But luckily for all of us I was wrong!

Now here is the twist: Trusted sources told me there is a new menu system while a new anonymous source sent me the image above. Now, this is a new source so I cannot be 100% sure yet it’s legit. But I guess there is a fair chance it is.

More A7sII rumors:

And another two sources (Thanks to you too) sent me some more info too:

• Completely new menu with full touch support.
• The smallest rolling shutter effect in the world.
• Huge viewfinder with the ability to reduce the field of view of images, for people wearing glasses.
• The 16-bit raw info applies to recording in movie mode (and not just photos) to an external recorder.
• The Sony a7siii will have a passive cooling heat sink type system probably made of aluminum (copper, alloy or stainless steel are other options) similar to those used in the Raspberry Pi B board.
• Apparently in Europe the camera will start shipping out in September.

Personal note:

I am exhausted and I am getting new rumors about a Sigma lens too! And I have two days left to prepare my 2,700km car trip through Europe (will post the pics on my IG channel).

Spotted by our reader Felipe. Thanks!

Sony promised multiple times that they will exceed expectations with the Sony A7sIII. Now all we have is rumors only but if they are somehow close to the real deal than this is what’s top (and flop) on the Sony A7sIII:

TOP

• Best in class 4K quality thanks to the new 12MP BSI sensor with very fast readout
• World’s best EVF in any mirrorless FF camera with 9.44 milion dot resolution
• First FF mirrorless camera using the CFexpress Type A cards
• Sony promises no overheating issues and no recording time limit thanks to a new passive cooling system
• Top class dynamic range of 15stops (claimed by Sony)

GOOD (and this was really about time)

• At last a Sony A7 camera with fully articulating screen
• Full size HDMI

FLOP

• 12MP sensor may be limiting for some kind of photography
• Same clumsy Sony menu system and likely limited touchscreen functionalities
• Not the best IBIS in the FF mirrorless world
