UPDATE: Multiple sources confirmed the Sony product announcement event. I upgraded the rumor to my max SR5 score :)

The sources “heard” that Sony will announce new “major” products in late March-very early April. They didn’t share the actual public announcement date yet. But this confirms the rumors we got the last couple of weeks suggesting that Sony would “skip” the Cp+ event to get more spotlight on their new products. I will now try to get the date of the March announcement event. And let’s hope some of the rumored cameras (a7rII, A7000 and so) will be announced on that day too!

Well there is one more great thing with the Sony A7s. With the super high ISO performance it delivers we can finally spot the UFO’s flying around at night! Check out that video: youtube.com/watch?v=Iaksh6P8AMU. It has been shot by CityHunter who writes:

My friend Terrence shot this footage testing his brand new Sony A7S, with a [shoplink 33299 ebay]50mm Nikon lens[/shoplink]. Shot at 70,000 ISO, it made 9:30pm look like twilight. First is the normal speed, then a slowed version of the footage.

More UFO videos here: Youtube one and Youtube two.

Personal note: I have a scientific mindset and I have an extremely hard time to believe in UFO’s. Usually those things can be easily explained with a bit of research and rational thinking. But I am seriously impressed by the terrific A7s performance. I “Believe” in the A7s :)
