Sony announced a bunch of new products at the IFA in Berlin. There is the new 4K action camera but no new A or E-mount stuff (as expected). A full list of the new products can be found at sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201609/16-078E/index.html

P.S.: Don’t be disappointed there are two more Sony press events this month that can bring us some excitement or some more disappointment :)

A couple of SAR readers sent me those links to the following “deals”:

  1. You get the Sony A7II for 599 Euro only at Amazon Germany (Click here).
  2. You get the Sony A7rII for 1,333 Euro only at Amazon Germany (Click here).

This is a warning to all readers to not buy from that third party store! As noted by a SAR reader:

It is fraud, when the seller name includes the message that you have to contact before buy it is 99% fraud
