A bad and a good news on the previous fools day rumor :)

Share

As I guess most of you find out by now the previous rumor about the A91 and A9 cameras was a fool days joke :) But I have a bad and good news for you:

Bad: The rumor is obviously false. There will be no A91 and A9 on May 1.

Good: Foveon sensor, 50+ megapixel sensor, Super fast AF. All the info I shared is based on rumors I really got. So there is a big hope Sony will make that fool camera specs…for real!

And now I am at work to get and post some “real” rumors :)

UPDATE: It’s now April 2. Time to say you have been fooled :)

This is the Fool news:

After many weeks of work I can finally unveil that Sony is about to launch two new Full Frame cameras based on the same brand new Sony 3 layer sensor (Similar to Foveon tech). On May 1 Sony will unveil the A91 A-mount and the A9 E-mount cameras featuring the 54 Megapixel 3 layer sensor.

3 layer sensor: Every layer captures 18 megapixel. The resolution and color richness is said to be world-class leading. No other camera of the world can nearly match the IQ from those cameras!

AF: The sensor contains 345 phase detection AF points covering 97% of the imaging area.

A and E-mount: The cameras are very similar but the A91 will have on sensor stabilization. The A91 will also be the first A-mount camera that is completely mirrorless and without the SLT mirror!

I have no other specs nor price info yet. But stay tuned!

Sony Europe stores (Click here) are offline. And the site mentions a cool rebate that will go live as soon as the site is back online. Just use the voucher code “SORRY225” to get a 5% discount!

I don’t think the site is off because of a product announcement. Usually they don’t go offline for that. Although they could take the chance to add the A3500 which has been already released at Sony Australia.

UPDATE: 10% off on the A6000 at Sony Australia (Click here) with code “A6000PC10”. Runs for 48 hours from now!
