This patent shows the first images of the new Sony Drone camera!

Share

Well I just found a brand newly published Sony patent describing a foldable drone camera. And it’s quite innovative as you will see:

The image below shows you the Drone folded:

You then detach the cover part which is actually a full touchscreen remote device!

The touchscreen device is used to fly the drone:

And obviously you can use the screen to zoom in and zoom out on the subject:

The camera also has the Sony famous “Eye-AF” function we all know from Sony Alpha cameras:

There is also a variation of the patent with a bigger drone:

 

There are no specs of any kind and no info about the Image Quality. But to me it makes a lot of sense for Sony to do this. They have the sensor technology, the autofocus technology and lens technology from the Alpha series. And why not use an E-mount on the drone similar to the DJI Zenmuse? That would be nice :)

Canon, Nikon or Panasonic: Who do you believe is the most “serious” Sony FE competitor?

Share

The big players did show their cards and now we know (almost) everything about the Nikon Z, Canon EOS-R and Panasonic S Full frame mirrorless cameras. I bet you know the strengths and weaknesses of each of the new systems. And that’s why I am curious to know this:

Which one you think is and will be the most "advanced" competitor?
