(SR0) And again other rumor sites posting fake A7000 images and specs

Share

Other rumor sites keep deliberately posting specs and images they found on this Weibo page. That page has a history for posting fakes and nevertheless the other rumor sites post info from the site as “rumor”.

Again, if you see those images and specs on a so-called rumor site know that they are using you for pure clickbait reason. They know the specs and images are made up but they want to sell it to you as legit “rumor”.

Those sites are now spamming forums and facebook groups with that A7000 spec list and images. If you see them please warn the people who the source is 100% fake.

Here are the FAKE and purely made up specs:

ILCE-7000 (first to launch in the new product line-up)
32MP Exmor RS APS-C CMOS with DRAM
New Ultra Fast LSI
Blackout-free Shooting
New BIONZ X
925-point PDAF, 60fps AE/AF
10fps/16Bit Mechanical Shutter
20fps/14Bit Electronic Shutter
30fps/12Bit AE-L/AF-C E.S.
Electronic Shutter Speeds up to 1/32000s
4K/60p 10Bit Super35mm Video
4K/24p 10Bit 2.4:1 WDR Movie
ISO 64-64000
580g

 

Some asked me what’s the difference between some of my rumors that were wrong and those other “rumors”. The difference is simple: I don’t post rumors I know for sure that are wrong. I don’t use sources who have a long list of FAKES to post rumors on my site.

The only reason why I am posting this today is that people kept me asking if those rumors they see on the web are legit. No they are not, because the source used for this has a year long history of creating fake specs and images for fun.

(SR0) Fake A5300 specs and fake A7sIII January announcement rumors

Share


The fake A5500 inmages

There are other rumor sites that keep reposting FAKE rumors they found on a specific Weibo site. First they reposted a fake rumor about an A7sIII announcement in January which is 100% NOT going to happen.

Yesterday the same account posted FAKE A5300 specs and those FAKE images:

A5300
Dramatically improved 4D AF system
693 point PDAF
AE/AF 6/10fps continuous
26MP Exmor R sensor
16Bit compressed RAW with selectable compression ratio
Super-sampled 4K video up to 30p with no crop
FHD/60p,120p with no crop
3inch 1.44m dot 3-way tilt touch screen
NP-FZ100 battery
500-650USD

I repeat it, the so called rumor sites reposting these rumors are doing this for pure CLIKBAIT reasons because they know exactly that account has a history of posting continous fakes.

I will have soon SR5 news about the A7000 As7III and other lenses! Stay tuned!
