With the imminent A7s III around the corner, here are 5 features the A7s3 BETTER have!
We know Sony registered a new camera code which means we should soon see a new camera. But I am uncertain if that’s going to be the A6700 or A7sIII or a new RX camera. But two German authors are sure it’s the A7sIII as they are already selling this book at Amazon Germany :)
Sigma issued two press releases today:
1) SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art and SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art for Sony E-mount are scheduled to start the shipment in May, 2018. (sigma-global.com/en/news/2018/05/11/1662/)
2) Launching date of Sigma 70mm macro Sony E-mount is not determined yet. (sigma-global.com/en/news/2018/05/11/1657/).

That Tamron lens is surprising us more and more. David just posted his Face detect & Eye AF review and damn…this lens focuses as quick as native Sony lenses!
And SAR reader Rafal (blog.rafalglebowski.pl) sent me this text:
“Hello. I just got a test lens Tamron 28-75 2.8 Di III RXD for a few days. First impressions: fast, quiet (voiceless), very sharp, especially at 28mm, solidly built, though light. It also works well during filming (smoothly and quickly). I am sending links to several photos and an archive with them so that it will be easier to download them. Greetings from Rafal :)

No surprise here. Dpreview just updated their buying guide and the Sony a7 III is “officially” the best camera you can buy for under $2000:
“The a7 III’s combination of solid image quality, versatile autofocus and impressive 4K video quality make it extremely competitive, and for those reasons we’ve selected it both as our top choice for shooting people and events, and our overall top pick under $2000.”

Tamron Japan just confirmed preorders were much higher than they had expected which means that not all of you will get the lens as soon as the lens starts shipping out on May 25.
