Months ago our sources told us that Sony were working on a new EVF for the NEX cameras. SO the following rumor found on getdpi cuold be true:

“Our local retailer (who has a great relationship with Sony and stocks their higher-end lenses like the 24-70 f/2.8, 85mm f/1.4 etc) states that a clip-on EVF is on the way for the NEX range shortly. A side effect is that one will not be able to use the EVF and the clip-on flash at the same time, since they share the same mounting spot. I think this might be interesting for folks who like to frame with a viewfinder than on the screen, and might save some battery power too.”

Photorumors reports that “someone” spotted the new Sony A560 at the Sony Expo in Jakarta. They will post some pictures soon…

UPDATED: The admin form photorumors contacted me to say that the pictures were on Facebook but they have been removed now :(

A Malaysian friend sent us that picture from the Sony show in Jakarta. According to the guy who made the photo that is the final design of the new Sony A560 and A580. Both models will replace the current Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550.

IMPORTANT: Today or tomorrow we will install the new SonyAlphaRumors theme. We will need your help to fix bugs and add new features! Hope you will like it! The main purpose of the theme is to make content even more accessible and also to build a new Sony community ;)

The new rumor:
SonyAlphaRumors is pleased to share some new details about the next cameras! Four new APS-C cameras will be announced late August. All those cameras will be in Stock by September!

1) A55 (translucent) 16MP 10FPS EVF-1.44M 1.1X magnification 95% AVCHD full hd
2) A33 (translucent) 14MP 7FPS EVF-1.44M 1.1X magnification 95% AVCHD full hd
3) A560 14MP 7FPS MF recording AVCHD full hd
4) A580 16MP 7FPS MF recording AVCHD full hd

Those models will replace the actual Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550 (which has been discontinued in Japan!).

All four will feature a  HDR 6EV, 15 AF focus point, DOF preview, panorama/3D, ISO 100 (base). Let me say that I expect those cameras to be awesome and real competitor (if not better) of the Canon 7D. Autofocus during video recording is way faster than the Canon, High-ISO very very good and last but not least I like the new design :)

Before you read the news. Those are rumors only! We are not talking about official news!

According to rumors floating around the web (for example on Thom Hogan and mirrorlessrumors.com) Sony is currently planning to slow down or even stop the development of FF cameras and lenses. We are talking about a long-term decision. This will not affect their short-medium release cycle. We from SonyAlphaRumors also received similar (and confused) rumors but we need to check those with more reliable sources. We should see it positive: I hope Sony folks will express their disappointment with that “possible” and maybe “unlikely” scenario. Let Sony know that you want them to expand their FF camera and lens range! And, I guess this is a good chance for Sony to proove that they are still commited to FF!

To make everyone here feel better, we from SonyAlphaRumors already received very reliable info about the next Fullframe from Sony. So don’t worry!

P.S.: Sony, make me a FF camera with ExmorHD and some new nice Zeiss primes and I will be happy!

Exclusive from SonyAlphaRumors! We received first “hints” that not only the Zeiss 24mm f/2.0 will be announced tomorrow. According to some of our sources Sony is also preparing the launch of two primes (not Zeiss). One is the 35mm and the other the 85mm lens. They should have an affordable price and be relative fasts.

UPDATE: The 24mm and 85mm are Fullframe lenses. I am not sure about the 35mm (is it APS-C or FF?). One new source told me that it is a 35mm DT lens with f/1.8 aperture (Like the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)Nikon 35mm f/1.8 (for APS-C)). The Fullframe 85mm could have an aperture of f/2.8!

It’s a nice coincidence that the two G primes are both on the upper part of our lens poll results: Click here to see the POLL results

The announcement is expected to be made tomorrow…So follow us on SonyAlphaRumors! Don’t miss any news follow us also on Facebook or/and Twitter or/and RSS feed!

P.S.: I don’t know the final price of the Zeiss 24mm f/2.0 lens. I hope it’s cheaper than the Sony 85mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss Planar T Lens!
