The meter is close to raising a million dollars, not only because it looks good but also because it has a ton of useful features! Check out the description page to see why it is a useful tool for photographers and filmmakers.

This is how it works:

HOT: Sigma will soon announce a new “intriguing” FF zoom!

Share

Last week I told you that Tamron will soon announce another big zoom lens. Well, two trusted sources have just told me that Sigma will also soon announce a big zoom lens!I have been told that unlike the recent Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN Art lens this is more “intriguing” for the masses as it’s NOT a niche lens but an affordable lens that could be interesting for most of our readers.

Will have details soon!

One of my sources claims the Sony A7V is NOT coming by end of 2024. It will be announced in 2025 only!

Share

One of my trusted sources is sure that Sony will not announce a new Sony A7V this year. According to him, the A7IV will definitely arrive in 2025.

I have yet to double and triple check this rumor, but this source has been right many times in the past, so I am inclined to believe him. Unless he is wrong this time and unless Sony decides to change the roadmap at the last minute, I think we should not expect to have the A7V this year.

Probably Sony thinks the now nearly three old A7IV still holds up well against the new Nikon Z6III and the two year old Canon R6II. A spec comparison can be found on that BHphoto page:

We know from reliable stats that the A7IV still sells well in Japan. And also the Amazon US mirrorless ranking, the Amazon DE mirrorless ranking and the Amazon UK mirrorless ranking always show the A7IV among the top sellers. So I guess Sony is right to wait for a more mature timing. Moreover Canon is rumored to announce a new R6III in late 2024 and Sony might prefer to see what this camera will look like.

I hope the source can soon come back with some more precise release time info and possibly even some specs. In the mean time let me know in the comment system what you expect from the A7V. And this is the poll:
