We are approaching the end of the year and it’s time to express your wishes for the coming new year 2014. What new Sony camera are you hoping to get in 2014?

 Loading ...

The list is based on rumor we posted or posted by other sites. I think most of these cameras will really come in 2014! :)

Sony registered the “ILCE-5000” at Taiwan NCC (National Communications Commission). This approval is necessary for products with wireless capability. As you know in some countries the NEX-5t has that A5000 mark (see picture below). So I am not sure if that registered name is for a new camera or for the current NEX-5t. The weird thing is that the NEX-5T product has been already registered months ago. So why register it again?

Thanks J. for finding this!

Watch this great (as usual) video done by TheCameraStoreTV team. As you see Sony-Hasselblad are playing the main role as both best and worse camera of the year :)

The Sony A7-A7r has been chosen as best camera of the year (second place for the Pentax K-3 and third place for the tiny Panasonic GM1).

The [shoplink 22672 ebay]Hasselblad Lunar[/shoplink] is the worse camera of the year and on second place guess what you will find…the [shoplink 22673 ebay]Hasselblad Stellar[/shoplink] :)

P.S.: The best video camera is the Sony F5 and the best lens the 18-35mm Sigma which should be available as A-mount in January

With the announcement of the Sony A7 the Full Frame price war has been heated up. Today with $1,399 the cheapest camera is the [shoplink 23637 ebay]Canon 6D on eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink] (UPDATE: It’s now sold out and sells for $1499 at Amazon).

I am sure that in 2014 we will see further price drops and maybe some new low budget FF that will sell close to $1,200-$1,300. And I think Sony is prepared for this. I have been told many new FF cameras will come, and some of them are “low budget” cameras.

The Japanese Digital Camera Magazine forecast what could come by Sony in 2014. This time they match more or less what has been rumored here on SAR:

They write Sony 2014 will bring us:
– a total of ten FE lenses to be on market by end 2014
– A99 and A77 successor to come with increased Megapixel number.
– NEX-7 successor

From what I know there will be MUCH more than just this stuff in 2014!

Editor’s note about the next rumor time: It’s almost Christmas time and as present I can give you that. Right from the beginning of January we will again enter a new very busy time! Sony will launch plenty of new cameras very soon and there will be stuff for everyone, APS-C and FF fans, A and E-mount camera owners. So enjoy the short Christmas break with your family. After that be sure to check back on SAR because there will be MANY surprises. And I am not just teasing you or giving you false hopes ;)

The rumor: More and more trusted sources are sharing tidbits about the soon to be announced new Sony cameras. I just learned that the first camera of the year 2014 will be a new high-end E-mount APS-C camera (likely the NEX-7 successor). it will be announced within the next 4-6 weeks!

Right after that camera Sony will announce not one…but two(!) A-mount cameras! I am still noy sure if the cameras will be announced at the same time or in two different events.

All this is SR5. I also got tidbits about the specs which are not confirmed via trusted sources. Hope I can give you reliable details soon!

Spread the word on the web: Big Sony camera announcements coming right form the start of the new year!

I got confirmation from a source that the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 A-moun lens will be released in January. You can preorder the lens at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). P.S.: Dpreview picked up this lens as one of the best products of the year.
