(SR5) Sony Germany creates the ILC-category. Announcement tomorrow at 5-6 am London time!

Share

I know some here didn’t believe Sony could call the new DSLR shaped E-mount camera…”ILC-3000“. But as a proof just click over at Sony Germany. They just added the ILC category in their menu. Actually it’s “ILCE”, the “E” stays for E-mount.

Anyway, we now have seen images and specs of all cameras. At that point I kindly invite you to follow the announcement live on SonyAlphaRumors tomorrow (August 27) at 5-6am London time. As usual I will be here to update you with links to all reviews, news, image samples and preorders.

QX, NEX-FF and A-mount rumors to come after the announcement:
The QX “lens-cameras”will be announced on September 4th (along the Honami Z1). And the most exciting time is still ahead of us. Sony is trying to keep it very secret, but I know the NEX-FF is coming. And let’s hope some A-mount news is on the horizon too. That’s going to be intriguing :)

(SR5) Full E-mount zoom lens specs.

Share

The Korean website Dicahub made this lens size comparison based on the mount side and filter size of the new E-mount zooms. The original Sony leaked file doesn’t really show the lens in the right proportion. As you can see from this image the PZ G lens isn’t that big as on the Sony leaked presentation. And the Zeiss zoom is quite compact.

And these are the full lens specs via Digicameinfo. The new NEX stuff could be announced on Tuesday. Stay tuned on SAR!

 

  • Spec of 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS Vario-Tesser T * E– 16 lenses in 12 groups
    – Minimum focusing distance 0.35m
    – maximum magnification 0.23 times
    – Filter diameter 55mm
    – Total length 75mm, maximum diameter of 66.6mm
    – 308g Weight
  • Spec of 18-105mm F4 G OSS E PZ– 16 lenses in 12 groups
    – Closest focus point: wide end 0.45m, tele end 0.95m
    – maximum magnification 0.11 times
    – Filter diameter 72mm
    – Total length 110mm, maximum diameter of 78mm

(SR5) One more A3000 picture. Has in body IS.

Share

DukeOfDutch (Click here) posted one more picture of the new A3000 (or ILC-3000) E-mount camera. And another source just told me that the camera has (UPDATE: has not a body stabilization) and metal mount. So now we know it costs 300 pounds (body only), has a new 20.1 Megapixel sensor, 100-16,000 ISO, 230K LCD and 1.44 Million dot EVF.

Sounds like a great little camera! The announcement could be made on Tuesday morning at around 5-6 am London time. Be sure to be online on SAR at that time to follow the announcement live!

The Korean site Dicahub posted a size comparison between the A3000 and other cameras:

Sony Austria lists the new NEX-5T, Zeiss 16-70mm and 18-105 G lens.

Share

All the new Sony NEX stuff got leaked the recent days and now it’s even Sony itself leaking some info through their own websites. Sony Austria (Click here) lists the new 16-70mm f/4.0 OSS Zeiss lens, the new 18-105 G lens (page here) and the NEX-5T (page here). The new info we got here is that the Zeiss lens and the 5T will already ship in September. The G PZ zoom will ship in December only. What you don’t see on the Sony site is the price of the lenses. But the Zeiss should be around 1.000 Euro.

Thanks Winni for finding the links!
