Sony knows how to fix the leak (and Fuji X-T1 has similar issue too!).

One more update on the Sony A7 and A7r light leak issue story:

A source just told me that “The Sony service centers know how to fix the light leak“. The cause was “an assembly issue“. This has been confirmed by a test run by an user on the Korean site SLRclub. It’s the mount ring that has to be fixed to solve the issue.

And if you think Sony is the only company having such troubles well….the porbably most popular camera of the moment, the Fuji X-T1 (here at Amazon) has been reported to have the exact same issue!!! But Fuji already offers a service where you can sind in the camera and get it back repaired within 10 days.

Small rumor bits about the A77 successor.

Share

Two anonymous sources sent me small bits of A77 successor info:

– (SR4) Announcement will be made the first week of May (and availability in June!)
– (SR3) Camera can do 14 fps.

I am still not sure yet if Sony will also use new RX cameras and new A/E mount lenses. Hope to get SR5 confirmations soon!

Panasonic announces price of their 4K GH4. Sony will have to make an “affordable” competitor.

Share

Image courtesy: Camerasize

Sony is going to release at least one (if not more) 4K cameras this year. And if you had the fear Sony would price it very high well….there is good news! Panasonic unveiled the pricing of their GH4 4K camera ($1,700 here at Amazon) and it’s actually very low! It’s $1300 less than the comparable Blackmagic 4K camera and $10,000 less than the Canon EOS 1D-C.

The Sony 4K A and/or E-mount cameras are supposed to be unveiled this summer. But I am not sure yet if it’s the A77 successor that will be the first Sony camera have 4K….
