Sony A7III vs Canon EOS-RP size comparison

Share

Apotelyt.com made this accurate size comparison betwene the soon to be announced new Canon EOS-RP ($1599) and the Sony A7III

Those are the specs (corrected by me as there was an error made by Apotelyt)

I think Sony can easily counteract with this camera launch by dropping the price of the Sony A7III (which is still the much better camera). What I really found worrying is that FF is getting so cheap that classic APS-C (Fuji) and MFT (Olympus) camera makers could suffer from this…

This is the $1599 Canon EOS-RP Full Frame mirrorless. How will be Sony’s answer?

Share

The rumor I posted last week turned out to be true: Canon is going to launch a new $1599 Canon EOS-RP Full Frame mirrorless camera. This begs the question if Sony will answer with a new lower end model FF camera launch. Or maybe they will just cut the A7III price.

Here are the full Canon EOS-RP leaked images and specs via Nokishita:

26.2 Million Pixels Full Size Sensor
Dual pixel CMOS AF
DIGIC 8
Continuous shooting performance: 5 frames / sec
ISO sensitivity: 100 to 40000 (equivalent to extended ISO: 50, 51200, 102400)
Organic EL EVF
3.0 type touch panel variable angle liquid crystal
Dual Sensing IS
DLO in camera, RAW development in camera, C-RAW compatible
Size: 132.5 x 85.0 x 70.0 mm
Weight: Approximately 440 g (body only), about 485 g (including batteries?)
Kit lens: RF 24 – 105 mm F 4 L IS USM

Unreported by Nokishita is the announcement date which will be around February 14 (Source CanonWatch).

I think it’s great both Canon and Nikon will announce new gear this month. Sony will have to answer swiftly with new lens and camera releases if they want to steal some headlines from the competition!

(SR5) Samyang will launch a new 85mm f/1.4 FE lens within 1-2 months!

Share

Our sources just told us Samyang will soon launch a new 85mm f/1.4 FE autofocus lens. This lens will be very similar to the Canon EF version already on sale today. The one big news is that the new 85mm f/1.4 FE lens should have faster autofocus performance than all current Samyang FE lenses.

We have no exact launch date yet but it’s set to be announced within end of March.

New A7III review by Photographylife: “might just be the best Sony yet”

Share

Photographylife conclusion is:

The last few years have seen Sony release some great full-frame mirrorless camera models but the A7 III might just be the best yet. It doesn’t have the highest resolution, fastest focusing and shooting speeds or the best video quality, but by borrowing some of the best features from the A9 and A7R III, it is consistently excellent in almost every facet. With its powerful 24 MP sensor, compact dimensions, much-improved handling and customization, amazingly quick and accurate autofocus system, large battery capacity, native 4K video recording, and great sub-$2K price, the A7 III is the most well-rounded mirrorless camera on the market today and receives our highest recommendation.

And here are new A7III videos by TheCameraProject and Manny Ortiz:
