(SR3) Sony canceled the A5100 successor launch?
[shoplink 50041 ebay][/shoplink]
Back in Spring the [shoplink 50041 ebay]Sony A5100[/shoplink] successor was rumored to be announced in June. But after the Kumamoto sensor facility stop Sony had to completely rework their camera release roadmap. This is what I got from two different sources:
Source 1: At least one of the new / planned cameras have been scraped. The already made and delivered aluminum body parts will have to be shipped back from the assembly factory to a scrap metal junkyard.
Source 2: Sony canceled a lower end super compact APS Camera that was supposed to follow the a5100. The reason is that all the sensors will be needed to fulfill the demand for the a6300
I guess Sony will launch the A5100 successor sometimes next year when all the sensor production issues are over. Trusted sources already told us that Sony expects to have a “Normal” sensor stock situation from September.

Deniz: “The most unlike kit lens 1650 and photos taken by it. http://www.alfakulup.com/2016/07/07/tu-kaka-kit-lens-1650/”
Zarif: “If your like me who does both photo and video work, and likes having the strap on you’ll realized that the strap makes noisy which gets picked up by the in-camera mic. To solve the issue I used rubber ear buds,which go in between the rings and the body of the camera, holding the ring in place. I have also added latches to quickly take of the straps, to use it on a rig or just use it without any strap. Here are some amazon links –

Mark: “I just started a campaign to fix a problem with the A7R2 that I think most photographers will appreciate. If you could post it, that would be a huge boost and make the A7R2 a better camera! Here is a link to a petition to show Sony that this request is supported. Please sign it!
