(SR4) Three E-mount (APS-C) and on A-mount (APS-C) camera to be announced between now and Photokina.

The A77 will be replaced soon.

A known source told me that he got the info that four Sony APS-C camera will be released between now and Photokina. Three of them will be E-mount and one of them A-mount with SLT mirror.

I already told you that there will be a new High End E-mount and an A77 successor soon. The other two cameras are likely to be entry level E-mount cameras.

(SR3) First details about the new generation A-mount cameras…

A new source wrote this:

I was left some specifications for that ff and aps-c size A-mound cameras. both has WiFi and NFC tech. Improved JPEG engine. aps-c A-mount has lock on selector dial (same as a99 dial lock). LCD for aps-c camera improved 912k resolution to 1.2k resolution screen. Translucent mirror reflection down 30% to 20%. improved phase detection AF sensor. both has same 19 point AF 11 cross type(same as a77 and a99). the name for both cameras still classified.”

I am now working to get all the camera specs. As I told you before there is plenty of new cameras coming soon (late January-early February). This includes a new High End APS-C E-mount camera and at least two A-mount cameras. But I am pretty sure there could be more cameras too (for example RX and entry level E-mount). Stay tuned on SAR. Hot times ahead of us!

Digital Zeiss Ikon design by Vladimir Markov.

Vladimir Markov posted these Zeiss Ikon digital concept pictures at Cargocollective.com. As you probably know Zeiss once designed a superb [shoplink 23713 ebay]Zeiss Ikon M-mount camera (to find here on eBay)[/shoplink]. It was a sort of cheaper Leica M alternative. I would certainly welcome Zeiss designing an E-mount FF cameras a simple and elegant as the Zeiss Ikon ZM!

(SR4) 4 mio dot EVF for the next generation of A.mount cameras.

And the next source claims to know that the new generation A-mount cameras will feature a brand new EVF. This time the resolution will go up to around 4mio dot. And he also confirms that at least two A-mount cameras are scheduled for a Spring release!

We have an exciting time ahead of us! Wish You a good jump into the new year ;)

(SR4) First few Hybrid A-E mount model details.

The new Hybrid A-E mount Sony camera will be launched between late 2014 and early 2015. It will look like a Sony SLT camera and target the High End market. I have been told that it has a lever to lift off the A-mount so that you can use the E-mount instead. I know this sounds quite strange, but the source used exactly these words…

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?

I wish Supreme Image Quality stands for...(multiple choice possible)

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

Next ILCE-5000 registration (not sure if it’s the NEX-5r).

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!
