(SR5) New Flagship APS-C model will be announced within 2018

Share

The following rumors is from my very best source. The same source told me about the new 24mm f/1.4 GM lens that should be announced soon. This source now confirmed that Sony will definitely announce a new “Flagship APS-C model” in 2018.

The source did not share any details yet but I guess this camera will be named A6700 (join the facebook group here).

I hope to receive few more details about this camera soon!

Alex: “I am a Brazilian photographer and I use Sony since 2010. I made a video with places to photograph in NYC. All the photos were made with Sony A7 and A7II. I’d really appreciate if you can post it in your blog. This is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlO-jPBgWBI

Philip: “I recently bought a little light for hiking with, a Zebralight H600Fd Mk IV. I think I remember you saying you hike too, so check it out. It looks great. I’ll write a review at some point, but upon trying out certain things I noticed a really weird finding! Adobe Lightroom, when you measure a grey card, gives a COMPLETELY different reading to Phase One Capture One software. http://photochirp.com/2018/02/20/lightroom-capture-one-white-balance-zebralight-h600fd-mk-iv/ 
I wrote about it here a bit. The post is a bit of a mess, and I’m just throwing ideas around at the moment, but if you scroll down you’ll see a photograph where it shows the different colour temperatures. Do you have both programs installed, and did you know this? I also tried shooting JPGs and comparing photographs, and Phase One Capture One matches the camera’s colours the best. I prefer the menus of lightroom so I’m not trying to push capture one as a program to use, but I just wondered if you had similar results? I don’t know if it does this with Canon cameras too, but adobe’s colours are way off.”
