Loading ...VIsion Binoculars with Sony 52MP Starvis sensor can see i the dark up to 1200m range
These new binoculars with Sony sensor inside collected over a half a million dollars on Kickstarter (Click here):
The Night Storm X1, night vision binoculars designed for those who aren’t afraid of the dark. See into the night with a whopping 1200m range, 850nm infrared sensitivity, and 52-megapixel image capture. Record footage in true 4K, and with 18 hours of battery life, you will see longer than the night can last.
Maybe Sony should consider making a Sony Alpha 7 “infrared” camera? :)
The Sony RX100 VA has been officially discontinued
at BHphoto the camera is on “Back Order”
Asobinet reports that the Sony RX100 VA has been officially discontinued. This was Sony’s last RX camera with the fast 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 Lens. Now all we have left is the Sony RX100VII with the 24-200mm f/2.8-4.5 Lens.
There is no rumor yet about a possible new RX100 model in 2025, I hope there is one…. but I wouldn’t bet on it :(
Sony 2025 camera roadmap: A7V, FX3II and 100 Megapixel Sony A7rVI?
Guys, it’s time to share my opinion on Sony’s possible camera roadmap for 2025. Some things I’m sure about, some things I’m skeptical about, and some things I’m very skeptical about. For starters, I’m pretty sure we’ll get more cameras in 2025 than 2024 (A1II and ZV-E10II only). This is a possible list of cameras that could be announced based on the usual Sony release cycle:
Cameras that are NOT going to be released in 2025:
- No successor to the A6700 (and no other APS-C E-mount camera either!
- No successor to the A7cII–A7cR and no A7cS
- No successor to the ZV-E1
Cameras that could be announced during the first half of 2025:
- Sony A7V: Body of the A1II, new 44MP(?) and 20 fps(?)
- Sony FX9/FX6 successor
- Sony FX3II with 24MP global shutter sensor of the A9III
Cameras that could be announced during the second half of 2025:
- Sony As7IV with 24MP global shutter sensor OR the Sony A7rVI with new near 100MP sensor (watch the video on top for more details)
- Sony RX1rIII
Impossible dreams
- Sony A7000 flagship APS-C camera
- Sony medium format camera
My serious guess: I’m sure the A7V and the FX9/6 successor will come. I think an FX3II is also a hot candidate. But the real highlight should be announced in November 2025. And it will be one of these three cameras: A7sIV, A7rVI and RX1rIII. I would love to have all three, but I’m happy if Sony only makes one of them :) What do you think about this roadmap? Too optimistic? Something else missing? Let me know in the comment system!
