(SR3) Sony A7000 first APS-C E-mount camera with on sensor stabilization

Share

A year ago Sony Europe site showed that image of an E-mount APS-C camera with integrated on sensor stabilization. Sony quickly removed the image as it was a fault from their designer team. Well, that “mistake” will soon become a real thing if the rumor I got is correct: The new High End APS-C E-mount camera that will feature the 5 axis on sensor stabilization used by the A7II. I am yet not 100% sure the camera will be named A7000 but what matters is that the source said it’s placed above the current A6000.

Release date is yet not confirmed but we should get it in shop by mid 2015.

Colin: “I just wanted to share with you the video I did with an old swiss lens the switar 50/1.4 who cover the APS-C crop in 120 Fps converted to 24 fps, during a music festival. It was a stress test for the Slog-2, High iso, high contrast with light & shadow. The bundle was very compact, I could put back my camera in my jacket and drink some beers :)
The video is very short (1:30) https://vimeo.com/114569160“

Fotodiox just launched a new TOUGH E-Mount Signature Edition 2015. You can already buy it on Amazon US (Click here). Fotodiox writes:

The TOUGH E Mount Signature Edition – now in a limited edition brass finish! We have been overwhelmed by the response we’ve gotten to our mount replacement kit. Replace Sony’s original plastic & metal combo mount, with our solid brass TOUGH E Mount. We’re only doing a limited run of these all-brass versions. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

The “normal” non signature version costs $10 less and is also available on Amazon US (Click here).
