Bloomberg: “Sony has canceled new mirrorless camera features because of DRAM shortage”

Share

Bloomberg reports the following rumor:

“Sony has already canceled some previously planned features for a new mirrorless camera due this year owing to the constrained DRAM supply, several people with knowledge of the matter said.”

And according to Bloomberg sources Sony needs to focus their limited DRAM resources for the new PS5 production. It’s unclear if the DRAM shortage is caused y the Coronavirus outbreak. The cause ins’t mentioned in the Bloomberg article.

I am also not sure if the “mirrorless camera” mentioned by Bloomberg is actually a compact camera, the A7IV or A7sIII. Back in January Sony registered what appears to be a new RX camera code and this model has still not be announced which is somewhat odd. So maybe that’s the model that got delayed?

UPDATE: There are now some DOUBTS about the quality of the Bloomberg article. Read the new post here.

RUMOR: First test suggest the Tamron 70-180mm FE is sharper than the Sony 70-200mm GM lens!

Share

One of the first images of the new lens mounted on the Sony A7III (via Digitalcamera.jp)

I received the first test report of the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens. I was told we shall get some more “official” news about this lens soon. In the meantime I can share this:

  • Lens MTF at f/2.8 shows that at least at 70mm and 180mm the lens is sharper than the Sony GM 70-200
  • VXD motor is incredibly fast and is able to focus across its focusing range almost instantly

The lens tested was close to final production version. If confirmed this is indeed great news. Now let’s hope Tamron will share full pricing and shipment start info next week…
