Today Sony announced the new WX800 compact camera

Share

The X800 (in Europe) or HX99 (in the USA) can be preorder at BHphoto, BuyDig, Focuscamera

So the rumor was spot on and indeed we had a new Sony announcement today: The bad news is that there is no A7000 yet. But “only” this new WX800 compact camera (In China it’s named WX700 and in US HX99). Like I told you multiple times before I am sure the A7000 rumor is correct but I also told you that we never got an exact date about the possible camera announcement. All we know is that they told us it’s coming as next E-mount camera.

Back to the WX800:
The new WX800 is the world’s smallest compact camera with 24-720mm zoom. Full info can be read on that Sony site. And this is the incredible zoom range you get with this camera:

Dead end: Meyer Optik Goerlitz will not ship your Kickstarter preorder and you will not get your money back

Share

Damn, this could be a bad day for some of our readers:

The German website Photoscala reported that the company Net SE is now officially bankrupt. They had many Kickstarter projects running under the brands Meyer Optik Görlitz, C. P. Goerz und Oprema Jena. And if you still didn’t get your lens from them you will NOT get back the money from Kickstarter!

If you still want to get such a lens there are some of them in Stock at Bhphoto. Unlike Kickstarter you will get a refund at Bhphoto if the lens you had on preorder will not ship.
