Now I wonder why someone should choose the Canon 1D X Mark III over the Sony A9II when shooting sports…unless you want your moving subjects to look like Frankenstein :)
I know I disappointed you when I told you that on the April 30 press event Sony would not announce anything interesting. But now I can finally (and confidently) say that the tide has turned. The next 3 months will be “very busy”. And today I will share the first part of the many rumors to come!
I can now tell you with 99% certainty that by end of May Sony will have the FIRST of a series of many announcements! And they are going to announce a new compact compact camera! Ee know in January this camera was registered on an Asian agency and uses the NP-BX1 battery so it may be a new RX100-RX1 or some other compact model.
UPDATE: Uh, I just got an info that this might be NOT named “RX” but something new :)

I hear you folks, I know RX isn’t the camera that you are waiting for. But don’t worry, I will tell you in my next rumor something you will love much more ;)

Hessel sent me this image with the following text:
Just for fun… Wanted to send a concept of an ‘RX-35’ style camera. Distagon 35mm miniaturised to match a 1-inch sensor to keep it extremely compact and bright. Front dial in place of the zoom-rocker. Grip from the HX-99. Oh and no lens curtain, but place for a real lenscap and hood instead.
Would be the perfect daily camera for many, I think!
