(SR5) Confirmed by Sony China: New RX camera coming within 24 hours!

Share

Sony China wrote this message on Weibo: “which RX camera do you expect?”. This confirms a new RX camera will be announced within 24 hours. When the 35F1.8 and A7R4 were announced they posted the same kind of teaser 24 hours before the official launch!

UPDATE: This time Sony China was well ahead of the announcement. It will take 72 hours instead of the usual 24hours and then we will get the new RX100VII.

Preorders:
Sony RX100VII in the USA at BHphoto, Adorama, BuyDig and Amazon.
Sony RX100VII in EU at ParkcamerasUK, WexUK.

The 240MP files from the A7rIV are surely going ot be stunning. Still, I wish Sony would implement an in-camera solution to elaborate the files…just like Panasonic does on their S1R! Please Sony work on that!

(SR0) 99% chance this is a fake new Sony Evil S E-mount 8K camera :)

Share

Important: I got this image from an anonymous source. So it could (and should) be completely bullshit. So stop to read here if you only care about more “realistic” rumors.

Still, even if this has a 99% chance to be a fake let’s discuss the features :)

The camera appears to a Sony A7sII successor in form of a new RX camera. The camera seems to have a fully articulating screen too. And here are the “leaked” specs:

But like I said, please threat this rumor with a grain of salt and with a 99% chance it’s wrong. If anyone knows who made this drop me a message!

Popular Photography tested the new Sony lens:

Even when shooting wide open the lens was sharp, and we didn’t notice any ugly onion ring bokeh, which sometimes result from aspherical lens elements, during our time with the lens. The AF is fast enough to capture the action onstage in a dimly lit venue.

Here are the six new next Sony Full Frame sensors. One of them has Quad Bayer Structure!

Share

Sony has registered six new Full Frame sensors. Below you can find the full spec sheets. What’s particular is that the sensor named IMX521 uses the Quad Bayer Structure. Sony writes:

HDR function is available by dividing exposure time in the 4 same color pixels into long exposure pixels and short exposure pixels. or dividing conversion gain in the 4 same color pixels into LCG pixels and HCG pixels.
Quad Bayer RAW function makes it possible to readout 4 same color pixels without addition.
When normal operation. 4 same color pixels are added and made 1 pixel, and output as bayer pixel array. In addition, a group of divided 4 same color pixels is defined as 1 pixel unit in this product specification.

Here are the short sensor specs:
IMX311: 48,9MP (45° deg. square pix array)
IMX313: 48,9MP (16bit A/D, stacked 3:2, 30p at 16:9 FULL 8k readout. 60p at 6k with crop.)
IMX409: 55MP
IMX410: 24.6MP (24mpix, 19fps for photography. 6k 40fps, 4k crop 100fps.)
IMX521: 15MP with Quad Array
