Two official Sony news: Hack warning and new action camera

Share

actioncam
Sony Japan announced a new action camera.

And more importantly Sony Japan also released an official statement to warn about using the Sony hack as this is not officially supported by Sony. They don’t mention the exact hack name. But I guess they mean the hack software news we posted in April (read here) and the new STGuploader. If something goes wrong because of those kind of hacks Sony will not cover it with their warranty!

Thanks Al

Our reader ECB and Mark (Thanks!) did just send us the images of the new Hasselblad X1D mirrorless system camera. It’s the first digital medium format camera with Sony sensor inside! It’s named “X1D-50c” because it uses the 50MP Sony 44×33 medium format sensor. And those are the first lenses:

For a short moment Hasselblad itself published the X1D medium format system camera info on their website. Google cache (Click here) still has the image gallery cached :)

a teaser showing a part of the new Hasselblad mirrorless system camera

Preorders:
The Hasselblad X1D-50c at BHphoto, Adorama and Calumet.de.
Hasselblad 90mm F/3.2 XCD Lens for XD1 at BHphoto, Adorama and Calumet.de.
Hasselblad 45mm F/3.5 XCD Lens for XD1 at BHphoto, Adorama and Calumet.de.

Less than 24 hours left for the big Hasselblad announcement. You can follow the live videostream live tomorrow (June 22) at 14:00 Stockholm time. Why should we care about it?

  1. It’s likely to be the world’s first digital mirrorless (system?) medium format camera.
  2. It’s likely to feature the Sony 50MP medium format sensor.
  3. There is chance Sony is somehow involved in this. Sony may share their tech to Hasselblad.
  4. And…now I am dreaming…if Hasselblad is successful Sony could one day join the new system with their Sony branded cameras and lenses.

So let’s watch that new “thing” tomorrow :)
