Just a new Sony A6200 rendering with 3.2 inch touchscreen

Share

On Weibo someone imagined the new Sony A6200 having a new 3.2 inch touchscreen. I don’t think Sony will put a larger screen and improve the touchscreen operation. Not going to happen…sadly :(

What we know so far is this:
Sony has a product launch  event on August 29/30
It’s rumored that they will announce  two new APS-C E-mount cameras
Those cameras could be the new A6200 (low specs A6400 version) and  the new A6700 (has IBIS).
A third (A7sIII?) camera will be announced on a new soon to follow press event…

Something stupid you have to know: My Macbook Pro Keyboard is completely broken

Share

It’s time you learn a dark  secret about me: For months now I am using a broken keyboard. I own one of these famous 2016 Macbook PRO’s that keep having issues with their Keyboard. Because of all the rumors and announcements I had this summer I couldn’t afford to  give away my laptop for the  third time(!)  for  1-2 weeks.

And now again we will have  Sony announcement on August 29 and in September more Sony-Tamron-Sigma announcements  :(

So please pardon me if you see those kind of errors:

  • Missing space between words
  • Or suddenly a LOT of space between words
  • missing “g”  “c”  “e”  letters
  • or double-triple “gg” “cc”  “eee”  letters
  • …and so forth  :)

It  sucks…and now I am waiting to  get  the new 16 inch Macbook PRO that  should b announced soon. It will have the classic “scissor” keyboard.

–

On a positive note: I should receive my Sony A7rIV next week (ordered in Germany) US readers will have to wait 2 more weeks than me…sorry :) amzn.to/2Zk1bwW

Full Sony 35mm f/1.8 FE review by Chad Wadsworth: “It’s a sleeper lens that doesn’t need a GM badge to prove its capabilities”

Share

Chad Wadsworth tested the new  Sony 35mm f/1.8 FE lens:

It has been several weeks since I first laid hands on the FE 35mm f/1.8 and it continues to impress; so much so that I can give it an unqualified recommendation for anyone looking for a go anywhere, fast semi-wide prime. It’s a sleeper lens that doesn’t need a GM badge to prove its capabilities. It marries the best of the classic definitive moment reportage concept found in the RX1 to the latest generation of Sony’s impressive autofocus systems in a significant evolutionary leap that is going to put a smile on a lot of faces.

Sony 35mm f/1.8 FE:
In the USA/CA at Adorama, Amazon, FocusCamera, BHphoto and Henrys.
In EUROPE at Calumet DE, ParkCameras, WexUK, Calumet NL.
