The Sony A6500 has almost the exact same dimensions as the A6300. One notable difference is the larger grip of the new camera (4,5mm deeper). And here is the difference shown by Photosku:
Preorders (Start on October 10 at 11am NYC time):

ePhotozine tested the new Sony 50mm f/2.8 macro lens and writes:
“There is no doubt that handling is excellent. Focus locks on reliably, the image in the viewfinder or on the monitor is clear and it is a pleasure to enjoy again the simplicity of just having that one standard lens to shoot with.
Sharpness at the centre is simply excellent at all apertures.
Despite only having 7 diaphragm blades, the bokeh is still very pleasing.
The 50mm lens is a universally useful optic and the ability to continue to focus right down to life size is very appealing indeed. The Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 macro lens is an excellent performer and a pleasure to use, at a realistic price.”
The new Sony FE 50mm macro lens is in Stock and shipping for the first time:
in USA at BHphoto, Adorama and Amazon.
in Europ at Fotomundus, Amazon.de, Amazon UK.

Newsshooter got word from Handevsision that they will soon launch a new E-mount cine lens line:
“The planned lenses will come in 24, 35, 50, 75 and 90mm and all have a constant T2.5 maximum aperture. Handevision hope to sell the lens at around the $2000 US price point. Release date isn’t certain but they are aiming for spring next year (2017).”
So now we have upcoming new E-mount Cine lenses from Sigma, Tokina, Samyang, Handevision…isn’t this getting a bit crowded?

CameraBeta just published a strange leak of what they claim is the new Sony A7s mark III. They got that image which they say lists the specs of the new Sony A7sIII:
– 15.4MP BSI-CMOS with LSI
– Variable IR Filter can be used as variable electronic ND filter
– Native ISO: 100-102400
– Maximum ISO: 409600
– 3” 1.23million dot articulating LCD screen
– 4:2:2 8bit 4K recording support
I don’t know CameraBeta and therefore I have to be very skeptical on this one…
P.S.: Join the new Sony A7sIII facebook group to get updates on that future new camera.
