This is the invitation for a Sony event in Barcelona. It says Sony will show you the last new products. This should be for the FS7II. But maybe Sony has a few more surprises too to show?

Thansk Aayham!

Note: November 8th 19:00 Barcelona time corresponds to November 9th in Japan. So it matches our rumors posted yesterday.

(SR5) Sony FS7II E-mount camcorder announcement on November 9

Share

fs7ii

I got the information the new E-mount camcorder (FS7II) will be actually announced on November 9. And it’s really not secret that Sony will announce a new camcorder because they invited many known video bloggers at an event in Barcelona. I just got this via SAR reader P.:

Today Sony has reunited most of the video bloggers in barcelona. That includes Dan Cheung, Philip Bloom and Emmanuel Pampuri among others to launch a new camera from sony pro europe. All of them signed an NDA.
You can check them all trying to say that they’re on vacation in Barcelona: https://www.facebook.com/epampuri/videos/10155035117114796/

The question now is how long do we have to wait for the next Sony announcement?

  1. We know the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens is coming soon but I guess Sony will first have to sort out their 70-200mm GM production issues related to the “unexpected high demand” of this lens.
  2. The A7 mark III is likely to be announced in Q2 2017
  3. The new High End E-mount camera with larger body and dual XQD card slot (could be named A8 or A9 or maybe A7rIII?) could be announced first half 2017.

RX100 V tested by Dpreview: “most capable camera in its class”

Share

rx100mv

Dpreview posted the Sony RX100mV review:

The Sony RX100 V builds on a camera that was already class-leading in many respects and crams 24fps burst shooting, oversampled 4K video and a 315-point autofocus system into this new pocket-sized companion. But there are no updates to its design, ergonomics or user interface that would ease direct control of its immense feature set. It’s the most expensive pocket zoom camera on the market today, and there are other models that we find nicer to use in practice, but the RX100 V remains the highest-specced and most capable camera in its class.

Sony vs Watson NP Battery Showdown Part 2

MiguelI wanted to see if you could share the news of my upcoming class for Creative Live this Thursday (Its free if people watch live on Nov 3rd and 4th). I’ll be showing over the course of 2 days how I set up my shoots, take portraits using different Sony cameras, and then retouch them all on day 2. It should be an interesting class for Sony users and DSLR doubters that somehow still think you can’t get pro results with these cameras.
