This runs til midnight: Save $$$ on a huge amount of items sold on this newly setup BHphoto DealZone page. It includes many Sony bundle deals.
And the Sony A7rIII is now in Stock at BHphoto and on January 3 at Amazon.
Other deals:
Til Dec 31 Macphun is offering new holiday deals on Luminar 2018 (Click here) and Aurora HDR (Click here). You save an additional $10 on checkout using the code “SAR”.
Lensrentals reports:
Sony out rented Nikon this year and is slowly closing the gap to Canon.
And Dpreview readers did choose the A7rIII as camera of the year.
So it seems like Sony is slowly getting closer to the number one position. But 2018 Canon and Nikon will fight back with their new FF mirrorlss system cameras. We have to see if that’s too late for them or if Sony has to be worried again.
This is the time of the year where we usually talk about what should arrive in 2018 to make us happy. Comment this post to let Sony know what kind of lens they should absolutely make as next. Please follow theses rules:
– max 3 lens suggestions
– please don’t go too strange with focal lengths and apertures (try to be a bit realistic).
– please mention if the lens should be FE, E or A mount
this would be my list for examples:
– 21mm f/1.8 FE
– 50mm f/1.2 FE
– 135mm f/1.8 FE
I will sum up your suggestion in a poll to be posted in early January!

For fun: Image of the 80-200mm f/1.4 :)
Reminder: there is an unexpected 125 Euro discount on the great Sony 24-105mm G zoom at Amazon Germany (Click here). Deal of the day is on Wallimex stuff at Amazon DE. The Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM has a new low price with 1.639 Euro at Amazon Germany.
Check out these links for the big Cashback action: Amazon Germany special page, Wex UK, Sony Netherland, Amazon France.
Sony published this special CES page. It has a countdown to tease the press conference which will be video streamed live at 5:00 pm PST on Monday 8th January. All it say is “See our President and CEO, Kaz Hirai, unveil a new generation of Sony innovations”
Usually at CES there is no Alpha stuff announcement. But I am not giving up the hope yet. And there is still a Sony registered camera with the code “WW 541200” that has yet NOT be announced. But like I said, this camera might as well be announced in February before the CP+ show start.

Thanks Dan!
5 of the top 25 Flickr pictures are shot on Sony A7 cameras. You can see all images here: blog.flickr.net/en/2017/12/07/top-25-photos-on-flickr-in-2017-from-around-the-world
Of course it’s not the gear that make you a good photographer. But it’s nice to see good photographers using more and more Sony gear to take their shots!
