Tomorrow Sony will have a livestream to announce new audio gear. We will also get the much anticipated new Sony WH1000XM4 headset which is now officially listed at Amazon France.
I will embed the live stream tomorrow on SAR.

Camrote launched a new major update for their App (here on App Store). Press text:
We have a feature-packed release for you in this latest update!
——– Focus Stacking!* ——–
Allows cameras which support remote control of “Touch AF” to perform focus stacking by providing a grid or set of areas to focus on which will then be captured in quick succession. Ideal for landscape or macro photographers!
* Focus stacking is only supported on certain models which support Touch AF remote control, please see https://camrote.app/camera-support for a list
——– Persistent Image Previews ———
We decided it was about time you could see image previews for longer than the 3-4 seconds they stuck around for previously… now they hang around for the whole app launch, and you can scroll back through them too! We’ll be bringing further improvements to this in the future (grouping timelapse shots e.t.c.)
——– Full Screen Mode ——–
We’ve added a distraction-free full screen mode! You’ll see we had to move some stuff around to accommodate this, but we think it’s well worth it! Full screen mode works particularly well on iPads where the screen closely matches the aspect ratio of the live view itself.
——– Other small tweaks ——–
– Disabled device auto-lock when downloading images
– Added support for bracketed capture (new Sony models)
– Added support for setting continuous shooting speed and mode (models earlier a7iii/a9)
– Added quick-switch for switching between cameras
– Added live view quality setting on newer models
– Changed order of radio buttons when setting exposure compensation to be more logical
Still running and top seller lens at Amazon Germany: Sony 35mm f/18 for 487,40 € only at Amazon Germany
Sony released the full Q1 financial reports (Click here to read them all). Imaging Business sales dropped by 50% because of the COvid19 forced sales and production stop:
The four major in-house and outsourcing manufacturing sites for Sony’s TV business, as well as the factories owned by Sony in China and Thailand that make digital cameras and smartphones, are currently operating as usual. Retail sales have decreased significantly due to the closure of retail stores globally, the impact of which is continuing to affect markets like Asia and Latin America. Conversely, in Japan, Europe, North America and China, retail stores are gradually reopening. In addition, although sales and profit from digital cameras were significantly impacted by a substantial slowdown in demand around the world, this business is beginning to show signs of recovery, albeit at a relatively slower pace compared to other product categories.
I bet the A7sIII and A5 sales will bring back some positive numbers by end of the year. If there would be a new A7IV too than I think tis would make the numbers look even better :)
Sigma 85mm f/1.4 FE specs (announcement on August 6 at 14:00 Berlin time)
It has the same price of the current 85mm f/1.4 lens (there is currently an additional $100 discount)
