Pretty amazing. Two years ago I wouldn’t have imagined you could get a 128GB SD card for $29 only (here at Amazon). This is a new low record price on the Sony car. All current Sony cards do sell for a very low price at Amazon.

Diyphotography interviewed Irix who recently announced the new 15mm f/2.4 lens. They confirmed they will make a Sony E-mount version of the lens.
And in the meantime I got the first image of their second lens. The new 11mm f/4.0 which will be announced later this year (Note: the two light dot’s are a reflection).
Here is the interview with IRIX

“I have to say this lens is just outstanding optically. It resolved such fine detail that on the interior view at night of the Resorts World mall, moiré patterns are thrown up by the pattern of pegboard type holes in the architectural ceiling surface. I’ve been testing lenses for over 40 years now and this is simply one of the best lenses I have used. This particular interior is almost like a 3D test target for lenses, too!”
The lack of in-body 5-axis image stabilization is one of the biggest differences when comparing the camera to the a7II series. If we look at the a6300 as an action shooter however, which seems to be the way its been marketed, it can be understood that high shutter speeds aren’t benefitting from image stabilization anyways, and instead there can be improvements made to high ISO image quality and also maintain the sub-$1,000 price point.
Why would you choose the α6300 over the α7R Mark II? Well, you probably would want to have both! But if you had to choose, this one offers value for the cost, speed of focus and light weight. You do lose a little versatility, however. There’s no headphone jack. There are fewer customizable buttons. It’s not a full frame 24 x 36mm, 42 Megapixel sensor. Having both cameras is really the best choice as each has its own virtues.
4)Mike Kobal did a Sony A6300 vs A7rII comparison:
My overall impression since I received the A6300, a wonderful little tool for stills and video, as long as you keep its limitations in mind. Can you guess which clips came from the A6300 and which from the A7rII? :)

A source (Thanks a lot!) told us that Sony will announced six new FE lenses within 2016. But this doesn’t mean all of those lenses will ship within 2016. As usual with Sony some of the announced lenses will ship much later (probably by Spring 2017). I should get first details about those new lenses soon!
Do you have any special wishlist? :)
