(SR3) A7RII (or A9) coming in two weeks from now?

Share

I just got this….

“New high end A7R MK2 being spoken about at Sony and an announcement in the coming weeks. I know there is rumors about an ‘A9’ and they may be referring to this model, or perhaps there will be two models – or Sony may stick to A7R II as the new model.”

Let’s hope we will finally get the new High Megapixel FE camera!

P.S.: Thanks source! ;)

Hey SAR! I’m going to be doing a free seminar at Adorama on Jan 20th that will be live streamed or recorded for the internet.

The number of Flickr members owning a Sony mirrorless cameras is growing.

The graph on top has been posted by Flickr and shows the “mirrorless share” of the Flickr members. As you see Sony is growing and Micro Four Thirds shrinking. Fuji is doing really well and maybe Sony should learn from it and do the following:

1) Copy the “kaizen” philosophy. It means offer constant support and firmware upgrades on all cameras.
2) Create a spot on lens line with not to expensive and very necessary prime and zoom lenses.

Do you agree with me SAR readers? :)

And here are the most popular mirrorless cameras on Flickr:

New Sony A7II review by Engadget. Says…”It’s worth every penny.”

Share

Sony-A7II-grip

We have four new A7II reviews:

Engadget writes:

All in all, Sony took everything it learned from the launch of the original A7 and made it better. Yes, the A7 II is heavier and, yes, it is missing attributes, like 4K video. However, those compromises (if you can call them that) mean the new camera starts at $1,700 for the body only, making it relatively accessible to prosumers. And make no mistake: It’s worth every penny.

Admiringlight writes:

The Sony A7 II is the most enjoyable Sony camera I’ve ever shot with, and the excellent image quality along with great ergonomics and usability make the A7 II one of the best, if not the best, mirrorless cameras on the market.  The $1,699 pricetag might be at the upper end of the range of the mirrorless spectrum (with only its sister cameras the A7r and A7s coming in higher), but given what you receive, it’s really an attractive price with excellent bang for the buck.  It’s a camera that I wholeheartedly recommend.

Jay writes:

The Sony A7 II delivers in my opinion and besides the few nit-picks I pointed out in the video review, it’s fantastic. The firmware update addressed the only real issue with the camera and now the IBIS works flawlessly with my favorite old school lenses!

Mike On The Street writes:

I’ve been selling all my Canon gear and I’m not missing it for a second. And I suspect my Fuji X100 will be collecting dust as well. The Sony A7II is an absolutely brilliant camera for street photography and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s definitely the best interchangeable lens camera I’ve ever used.
