(SR4) UPDATED: High End APS-C camera should be announced before Christmas time?

Share

One trusted source gave us a posisble timeline of the next Sony announcement. He heard the new Sony High End APS-C camera will be announced within weeks. It’s unclear yet if that means it’s coming at PhotoPlus next week or if it will be announced sometimes in November. UPDATE: Seems like the source confused an official announcement with a in house Sony demonstration prio to the announcement. The camera will be released in every early 2019!

The following info is coming via reliable sources:

  • This is not an A6500 successor
  • This is a new kind of APS-C camera
  • The EVF is in the center
  • It’s a sort of “mini-A9”
  • It matches and in some aspects (like AF and IBIS) exceed the Fuji X-T3 performance
  • It has 20fps

Stay tuned folks and join the A6500-A7000 facebook group!

Tony Northrup: All Sony A7-A9 cameras are better for sports photogrpahy than the new Canon EOS-R and Nikon Z

Share

The new Nikon Z and Canon EOS-R are still far behind the Sony cameras if you intend to use them for sports photography. The Sony A9 is the best camera of the tested bunch. But the “secret” winner might be Fuji X-T3. I know it’s APS-C but it’s a hell of a good camera and the lowest priced too. This si the camera Sony has to beat whenever they decide to release the new A7000.
